Tropico

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rule? Bet you have. They say that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but that's not always true – sometimes just a little bit of power can corrupt pretty thoroughly — how good could you be? Sometimes good leaders can rule well and be loved, untainted by the whiff of the backhander and the slippery contact of too many greased palms – Nelson Mandela, Gorbachev, perhaps JFK and… and who else? List is pretty short isn't it? Well here's your chance to run things properly! In Tropico you get to take the reins of power and if you're smart you won't let go until either they prise them from your cold, stiff fingers or you are sitting on the balcony of a luxury hotel, enjoying a well-earned retirement in exile.
