A seaside resort, a towering metropolis, an industrial powerhouse, a flexible simulation allows for creation of all these, and countless more. Cities XXL is the newest entry into the genre – or is it? Cities XL was released in 2009 to middling reviews and poor sales. Since then, Cities XL 2011, XL 2012, and XL Platinum have hit the scene, each iterating insignificantly on the previous.
