Well I never thought that a game from this genre would get me interested in it. This one has, and it's made my Must Have List even longer . . Come check it out and see why a City Building game could interest a die-hardened FPS fan would consider it.

Looks amazing, and the review certain has me looking for the game right now.

City building and management games have always been more prominently played on the PC as opposed to consoles, as the speed and intricate controls often have made it hard to play such a game without the accuracy of a mouse.

Tropico 3, developed by Kalypso Media and released on both the PC (Sept 09) and the Xbox 360 (moved from Oct 09 to 1st Qtr 2010), is set to fix that void. An easy build interface, forgiving controls and most importantly the ability to pause time and set building construction all make this game possible to be enjoyed by both console and PC gamers alike.

Straight off the bat – Tropico 3 is a great looking game. In all campaigns and scenarios you are given a large, near unpopulated island as your playground. The environment looks great and ready for the construction teams to come in and tear it down.

You can zoom right out and look at your ever growing island as a whole or you can zoom right in and look at every individual citizen you have. Overall, the game right from the get go is very well presented, although when zoomed in the resolution doesn’t keep up as well as hoped.
