Yup. I've been curious about the series as, now that I'm older than I was when Sim City came out, I figured I'd try my hand in the city sim stuff again. But with EA's shenanigans with the Sim City franchise, I started looking elsewhere and noticed Tropico. But TotalBiscuit's WTF video on it referenced some potentially nasty 'bugs' where the construction workers will work on whatever they want first instead of what you want them to, so I was kind of skeptical about it.
Least this way I pay nothing and get to see what the series is like!
