Understand. I assume you're talking about Virtual City, which really isn't a time management game anyway. When I hear "time management" I think more of games like Youda Survivor or Cake Mania. Virtual City is more of a simulation, which personally I don't find quite as entertaining as time management games (of course I happen to love TM games).

Ah, to me they're all the same If I see anything related to baking or building cities, etc, I don't even take a second look.

Virtual City is more a puzzle/queuing/resource game then anything else in my opinion. You set up trucks to take one building's output to another building as input. You also manage population, citizen's happiness, environmental status, and special events. It is worth trying, in my opinion, but I will admit that I like these types of games as a genre. It is also pretty tough to bet against G5e right now.

Yeah, sorry. That sounds about as much fun as licking the bottom of my shoe :P
But I'm sure there are games I love and you can't stand

So where does shoe licking fall in the spectrum between watching paint dry and getting a root canal?

I saw that when it came out but the screen caps looked so bland that I just inored it. I see there's a lite version now, though.

I kind of felt the same way about the screen shots.
