Here's a well-produced website that explores one model of settling Mars, with videos and slick graphics.

Edit... since first posting this I've tried out some of the simulations on this site. Be prepared for a difficult ride: the control doesn't seem to work well, making it hard to complete some tasks. Also don't expect total realism... they are using an image of a SpaceX Falcon 9 or Grasshopper rocket for the Mars landing simulation, for example. But oh well, it's free. No complaints!
