The bonuses for getting the Digital Deluxe version of the new SimCity game have been announced and Maxis and EA couldn’t think of any better way of showing them off than a brand new video.  This time the bonuses stem from 3 major landmarks, literally.

Players with the Digital Deluxe will gain the France’s Eiffel Tower, England’s Big Ben Clock Tower, and Germany’s Brandenburg Gate which don’t seem all too important in and of themselves, until you see them impact the buildings that comes up around them.  They will even impact transportation as like buildings the landmarks will also change some of the vehicles.  Such as the French Police Cars, English Double-Decker Buses, and German Trains.

Players can check out the video embedded below to see the landmarks influences in action and players can get the SimCity Digital Deluxe Edition exclusively from Origin  for $79.99  on March 5th for North America and March 7th for Europe and Australia.

The dedication to indie RPG Luna: Shattered Hearts is easy enough to see after learning how long it’s been in development.  For the last 6 years a sole developer has been slowing working on the title in hopes of it finally being able to finish it for release.  Daniel Gill of Gillis Games is still working away at it, but has something to show for it so far with a set of HD gameplay videos, which are embedded below.

Telling the story with two main characters with dark pasts, Lithien and Dez.  Luna: Shattered Hearts is an epic fantasy journey that will change both of them as well as the world they inhabit.  With a story to pull players in, large levels to explore, hand-drawn backgrounds, dynamic lighting, and even cutscenes it’s easy to see why it’s been such a long time and still going.

Daniel Gill isn’t looking to give up on the game any time soon and is still trying to fund it if he can, but even if it doesn’t work out he’ll still keep at it, albeit just over a longer time.  Players that are interested can back through Kickstarter HERE.  Luna: Shattered Hearts Episode 1 will hopefully be ready to release in 2013.
