Pridefest allows you to connect with friends so you can visit each other's cities, chat, or challenge each other in co-op parade building. The game includes goals that, when met, provide you with festival supplies and bonuses to make your city a happier place.
While we have no set release date for Pridefest yet, Atari says it's coming soon.

:: BUILDING AN OK TOMORROWThe Flintstones : Bring Back Bedrock, by Ludia, is now available on the app store. Meteors have destroyed the Town of Bedrock and it is up to you to rebuild. And there are a ton of classic characters to play with while you do: Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, Bamm-Bamm, Pebbles, Hoppy, Dino, and Baby-Puss.
As in the cartoon, all of the technology in Bedrock City is dinosaur based. You can collect over 100 of these "Gizmosaurs," from the Mammoth Vacuum to the Pterodactyl Jackhammer, along with a huge amount of items that you can use to customize the city. The Flintstones : Bring Back Bedrock will also let you visit your friends' cities and check out their progress.
“We are very pleased to be partnering with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on The Flintstones: Bring Back Bedrock game, which promises to elate generations of players who love these Hanna-Barbera characters”, said Alex Thabet, President and CEO of Ludia Inc. “The Flintstones cartoons remain one of the top television family favorites and we are proud to bring the characters to brand new platforms! Gamers are in for hours of fun.”
The Flintstones : Bring Back Bedrock is available for free on the App Store.
SettleForge is a single-player board game where players take on the role of the king as they try to reinvigorate their country's economy. In puzzle game fashion, players must place hexagonal tiles with different buildings on them, but you must keep in mind building regulations and economical dependencies to find the best locations. Will your nation prosper. Will your subjects rejoice? That is for you to decide.
SettleForge supports DICE+, a digital game controller meant to simulate rolling a die. It hooks up via Bluetooth and uses motion detectors to know what you've rolled. You can pick up a DICE+ controller on their website for $39.99
While there is no official release date as of yet, you can follow their updates on the SettleForge Facebook page.

You will, of course, still have to worry about keeping your citizens happy by managing and expanding your city.
EA hasn't announced a release date or pricing for SimCity BuildIt yet, but they assure us it is coming "soon."
