What Kalypso Could Add to Tropico 4
Tropico 4, the latest offering in the series from Kalypso, launched a few months ago and has taken the simulation community by storm.

By the time Civilization IV came around, I had less playing-the-shit-out-of-things time available, so I was only able to gently peruse the game...[Read More]
