"I consider myself to be a pretty sound-minded individual, but I'll admit that I regularly think about what it'd be like to have ultimate control over my surroundings and the people therein. This comes out in the videogames I play -- especially Civilization, Viva Pinata, and essentially any game that gives me absolute power over my populace. While the other games I've played allowed my dictator-esque side to come out, they were certainly never about that. Enter Tropico 3, a real-time strategy game/civilization sim where your only goal (as the dictator of a tropical island nation) is to stay in power -- whether by peace or by force -- and where our inner dictatorial desires can shine."
Spiffy:
* Pretty environments
* Lots of options to control your people
* Fun custom character options
Iffy:
* With the array of options at your fingertips, this doesn't look fit for a console controller.
The Humble Totally Tropico Bundle just launched today. It features games like Tropico 5, Tropico 4, Tropico 3, along with a number of expansions and DLC.

Well, the following discounts are now in place for all Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers to get involved in, with the prices shown running between the 10th-16th Jan 2017."
Again ? They've had great deals since before Black Friday, their end of year sale prices were a bit higher on some things but overall we've had a bunch of decent sales for nearly 2 months...best for me was Resident Evil 4,5 & 6 for $10 each.
The sales have been getting smaller and smaller and many of the games have been on repeat for the last year. And the prices aren't even tempting either, unless you are looking for 360 games that is.
Huh...I'm starting to suspect that if tower defense games had never been invented both XBL and PSN marketplaces would be half the size and twice as good.
