Tropico 3
Tropico 3 lets you assume the role of a dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. Decide the leadership path youd like to take and become a benevolent leader or a merciless one... or someone who is somewhere in between. Despite your dictatorship, there will still be elections or at least illusions of one where you can slander your opponents and make empty promises just to secure crucial votes. Regardless of the facade of it all, you will still need to take into account of the opinions of your Tropicans. This time around, you can even get involved in world politics at a time in history when the world hangs on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse, and play the superpowers against each other to maximize your advantage on the global stage.Tropico 3 is also social in the sense where you can visit other islands controlled by players and compete with other players via an online scoring system. Sounds like fun to you? Well, you can give Tropico 3 a try. It's definitely a step-up from the first two games (since they have older graphics and mechanics) and may appeal to the players of today.
