Anyone else excited about this new city builder coming out in March? Sim city and I go back a long way and looking forward to getting my hands on it. If it only had a cigar factory and tobacco fields like in tropico it would be perfect. Someone needs to create a cigar tycoon game.

Always on DRM killed my excitement. I refuse to purchase games with that feature. I'll probably just wait a few days until someone releases a cracked version on a torrent site (jk) since all DRM will be broken eventually.

I'm still playing 4 every now and then, love the series

No, I don't mind DRM, I do however mind always on DRM. Meaning you need an active Internet connection to play it. I play games offline or away from the Internet far more than I do with it.

Hey I have always thought about playing Tropico but never pulled the trigger. I play a LOT of Civilization, is Tropico similar to Civ?

Never played Civ but tropico is good. You can pick up the newest edition tropico 4 for about $20. It kept me entertained for a while. I love building massive tobacco plantations.

How laptop friendly is it? I only use a laptop, thus my game choices are limited.

Diablo 3 is the only game I own with the always on DRM. Thus far, it hasn't been a huge pain and only once was I in a location trying to play it where I didn't have an internet connection. No internet connection meant the game wouldn't launch and I couldn't play it. I believe I have even played it while in-flight since most planes have wi-fi now. It is a bit of turn off knowing that there may well be places you can't play it on your laptop, but thus far I have not really found it to be a hindrance.

Tropico 4 is great. I just got my brother in law playing it, he is a big Civ V fan.
