New Game, New Role (for ONCE)

Interestingly enough, a new game introduces a role not yet seen in game play... a "despotic ruler of a tinpot Caribbean island". Tropico 3 is kind of like all the build-it-up games (Sims, Tycoons, etc), but you also create a regime to run the town, good or bad, and it seems pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for those types of games, I LOVE building stuff and being able to be creative. This one seems like it would be a funny twist.

Well, it looks like the former king of pop had a hand in working on the new Sonic Game. "Jackson's composer and musical director Brad Buxer says Michael was responsible for some of Sonic 3's compositions. The themes that appear in Sonic 3 and some of Jackson's own songs are not a coincidence."

How weird, I didn't know he dabbled in things like that. Sounds kind of cool, too bad he isn't here to see it come out.
