Play SimCity Web Game, Win $1,000

Not a big fan of Facebook-style web games? Well what if you could win $1,000 for playing one? Whether it's a clever marketing gimmick or good old-fashioned desperation, that's what EA is offering.

Interested gamers can check out the SimCity Deluxe website for a simple browser-based scavenger hunt that could net you a cool grand for playing. The contest is being held to celebrate the release of SimCity Deluxe for Mobile. We're guessing they mean mobile phones, and not those twirling things you hang above babies to hypnotize them so that they'll stop crying. In order to play the game you'll have to log in through Facebook, because the social networking site is pretty much the mafia of simplistic web games. Have fun, and remember: If you win the $1,000, you owe me a 10% finder's fee.
