My New Favorite Box Art: Tropico 3

Check out this dude's beard!

Kalypso and Haemimont were just in the office to show off a pre-release version of Tropico 3. I'll have a bit more to say about that later (short version: it's a return to form for fans of the original Tropico that don't want to be pirates), but for now, check out this guy on the box art:

This guy is all "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
This guy is all "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
I'm not going to actively suggest that people put Ryan's face onto this guy, but... well... I'm not going to not actively suggest that people put Ryan's face onto this guy, either.
