A new Tropico 5 trailer shows off El Presidente's early colonial days, with a generous helping of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Tropico 5, you may be surprised to learn the debut gameplay trailer reveals, looks an awful lot like earlier Tropico games, and a bit like most other city-building sims. But it also shows more of the centuries-spanning timeline and technology, from the huts of 1800 to gleaming skyscrapers in 2028.

Tropico 5 has opened its beta registrations for a PC test to begin in March.

The "dictator sim" series (dictate 'em up? No, I can't make this any sillier) Tropico began life on PC, later spreading to Xbox 360 too, and now is finally coming to PlayStation with Tropico 5. Publisher Kalypso today announced it'll hit PlayStation 4 too, which is a bit curious as T5 is on Xbox 360, not Xbox One. Oh, the ways of publishers are many and mysterious!

The announcement of Tropico 5 earlier this month may have revealed details on building centuries-spanning dynasties and co-op and all that jazz, but conspicuously absent was any peek at how the game actually looks. So here, check out its shiny all-new art in the first screenshots (hint: it looks a lot like a Tropico game).

Tropico developer Haemimont Games is giving the Diablo-style action-RPG a try, with the announcement of Victor Vran. It's due in early 2014.

After Tropico 3 revived the city-build strategy series, Tropico 4 was a pretty safe sequel--not bad, but not bold. How pleasant, then, that developer Haemimont Games is getting creative with Tropico 5, announced today by publisher Kalypso. Spanning several centuries, it'll see El Presidente building a lasting dynasty, and boast four-player co-operative and competitive multiplayer t'boot.

With Tropico 4 developer Haemimont's gangster strategy game Omerta - City of Gangsters arriving on PC next week, publisher Kalypso has released a demo offering a taste of mobster life. Omerta is more action-oriented than Tropico, with turn-based tactical combat, so grab the 793MB download here at Shacknews and see how it shapes up.

We're muscling in on Omerta - City of Gangsters, see? We're takin' a piece of this sim and putting it through the wringer. Does it sing like a canary, or deserve a cement overcoat?

After dabbling in dictatorship with Tropico 3 and 4, Haemimont Games is branching out to a new form of ruthless ruling, mixing it up with the Cosa Nostra in Omerta - City of Gangsters. The mafia sim mixes real-time mob management with turn-based combat.
