Simulation games

By their very nature, the main aim of simulations is to re-create an experience. Most often the games are split between management simulations like Surviving Mars and Sim City or more personal, hands-on experience like Surgeon or Microsoft Flight simulator. As simulation games can be – pretty much – about anything, there are many more sub-genres branched out to all kinds of categories:

• Business/Trade Simulations – stalk market, corporate life, economic up-hills and down-falls and high risk – high reward type of simulators. Also includes games in the city building category.
• City Building Simulations – collecting taxes, designing the layout, managing inhabitants, and creating laws. All to create a successful city infrastructure.
• Vehicle/Flight Simulations – an opportunity to control helicopters, planes, tractors, racing cars, ships, and other means of transport.
• Sports Simulations – everything from basketball to cricket.
• Life Simulations – an imitation to every imaginable type of activity and work setting.

Simulation game genre is very attractive and popular because it offers a level of control and entertainment limited only by the player's imagination. So, whether you decide to kick a goal to your own net, demolish a city or cause a financial crisis – it's all just a simulation, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!
