IGN writes: "It all comes together in a game that's very colorful and inviting. The first scenes that you see of the game are aerial shots of the various islands with a plane coming in for a landing over the ocean. The islands in the campaign are pre-built and designed to offer a different challenge, of course, but there's also randomly built islands that you can design to certain specifications. While the game is PC and Xbox 360 bound, the former will have a challenge editor that lets you create your own scenarios. Console players will miss out on that. Speaking of which, it's a bit unusual to see this game for a console, but the developers say they've adapted the control scheme to the gamepad and it plays well once you're used to it. Still, it'll be interesting to see if there's an audience for games like Tropico on the 360. PC gamers, on the other hand, might welcome back an old friend. Both versions ship in late September".
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.
Neil writes "It's back with many new bargains, but the big question is does the latest Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight sale appeal to you? 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.
Ex-Tropico Game Designer Ivelin G. Ivanov’s Kickstarter campaign for Grimm Forset, a co-op survival game set in the Brothers Grimm universe begins tomorrow.
