Island Paradise as Tropico 3 Approaches Console Release

Today is a glorious day in the world
of wanna-be dictators as Tropico 3, the strategic city-building game, has gone
gold. The game, which places players in the jackboots of the newly minted “El
Presidente” of a small, yet beautiful, island nation, is set to hit retail
stores February 16th for the Xbox 360.

Developed by Haemimont Games,
Tropico 3 brings the series back to its roots and puts players in the role of
‘El Presidente’, the two-bit dictator of a strategically positioned banana
republic in the Caribbean during the time of the Cold War. Players assume
control of every aspect of island life, deciding whether to unleash the army to
secure their power base or lead their people to prosperity as a generous elder
statesman. Will absolute power corrupt, or will the humanitarian approach spur
progress? Find out in February 2010 as gamers become part of the political
machinations of Tropico as they determine the fate of this island nation.

Tropico 3 will be available for Xbox
360 in North America this February 16th, 2010, and is available now for Windows
PC. For more information, screenshots and videos please visit the official game
