Paris' Monte Cristo Games Raises $7M For CitiesXL

Monte Cristo Games has raised $7M from Arts Alliance, 360 degrees Capital Partners and Innoven Partenaires. Monte Cristo was founded in Paris in 1995 and has focussed on simulation games such as Trader 97, Wall Street Trader, Economic War, Crazy Factory, Fire Department Series and Dino Island

The funding will be used to grow Monte Cristo’s city-building online game Cities XL. The game looks top notch if not a bit generic. After seeing a demo of the latest blockbuster game from EA - Spore - Cities XL is not so exciting.

Suck it up EA. YOU KILLED SIMCITY! But who cares??? From the ashes of Simcity, rises XL to far greater glory!
