Tropico 3 takes things back to the theme of the original game, which had you running a Banana Republic (rather than the second game which had you running a base of operations for pirates). Of course this time, everything takes place on a 3D map complete with a customizable avatar of the President. As the newly elected/appointed/installed ruler of a small Caribbean island, it falls on you to shape the island’s destiny while remaining in power for as long as possible. There are several factions you’ll have to satisfy, each having thier own needs. The capitalists want to see the island making good profits and having top notch entertainment, the communists want to see that everyone has decent housing and a good job, the religious want to make sure the island has high moral standards, while the intellectuals want to insure Tropico has unbiased media, good schools, and honest elections. In addition to the factions, you will also have to juggle your relationship with the US and Russia (this takes place during the cold war you know), so they won’t decide to invade your shores.

The holiday season continues! Not much coming out this week that has not already been announced. I think the big release this week is TRON Evolution, which is supposed to server as a bridge between the first movie and the one releasing very soon. Also, as a side note, I’ve stopped posting the Playstation 2 releases. There really isn’t anything new coming out for the console and Wii releases keep popping up in Amazon’s listings. Remember, if you see something you like, please purchase through one of these links to help us out.
