This would actually be a very good thing to have - not to review critics, but to find their average given score (perhaps an average of their scores versus the eventual average score given to games) and use that to normalize game scores.
Thus, for instance, someone who consistently rates games lower (or higher) than other people would not throw off the average.
Difference is, it's halfway between SimCity and, say, Caesar III. Not only are you plonking down RCI districts, you're managing industries and filling needs, dealing with specific issues, and following dockworkers around their dayjobs.
There's also a good bit of tropical flavor to the thing. It may not be your cup of tea, but it's a nice cup of tea nonetheless.
@Deaths Hand Mine works just fine. Darksiders' platforming is a little touchy, but other than that the game works great. Now if only OnLive would get their act together and release on iOS so I could play without being tied to a wi-fi...
Well, if I didn't have it twice over, this would be as good a chance as any.
On the subject of the iOS app: I'm sure it's just Apple trying to snag 30% of the profits from every game sold on OnLive. They just love their closed system monopoly, the bastards.
