Attention to detail -- it can make or break a game. I'm not talking about all games, obviously the AAA FPS' will always sell regardless but as a loose rule we're done with them a few weeks after they are out, before moving on to something else. The games that have legs (AAA or not) are the ones that really take it to the next level, games that you might pop on for an hour in the week or sit down and lose a whole Sunday too. A perfect example of that type of game...? SimCity.
Almost instantly you'll fall in love with SimCity. I know we shouldn't be so superficial about looks (I'm not) but SimCity is the cute girl (or boy) across the room. I wouldn't liken it to being 'sexy' or 'hot', but it just has a charm to it that draws you in. You want to get to know it better and spend some quality time with it.
