Simsville cancelled. I was really looking forward to this game, intended to be a cross between The Sims and SimCity, where you manage a small portion of a town. But to echo Slashdot's sentiment, if it was cancelled for quality reasons, then more power to them. Maybe they'll try again some other time.

As the CGOnline blurb mentions, The Sims is already getting rather sophisticated add-ons, such as The Sims Hot Date.
