Video Game News, Reviews, and Commentary
I am learning not to get ahead of myself with excitement and anticipation for upcoming video games. Delays are a part of the process. I will never fault a studio or publisher for waiting to release a game.

A new city is emerging on the vibrant shores of Costa Verde, but the citizens need help: someone must build the roads for them! Luckily, they have you: the head of the city’s Transport Department.

Sooner or later, your roads won’t be enough: you’ll have to build detours, roundabouts, bridges, and use some magic!
