Of course you’re bored. You’re here.

Now pirates? I love pirates, so this caught my eye. It’s a game called Tropico II: Pirate Cove. The best thing about this game is that it’s chill. Like you. It’s also geared more for the older teen/adult graphic, which doesn’t happen much in games that aren’t full of gore.

What you want to do in the game is build a successful pirate cove that shovels out ships, cutlasses, grub, beer, and offers gambling and wenching to keep pirates happy. Then there is the captive population, your enslaved workers who will escape if you don’t give them enough corn slop or shacks to sleep in.

The game offers a campaign mode, which is sweet for everyone who gets tired of simulator games without a point. You follow the story of a pirate who was held captive and escaped to a cove, etc. Then there is sandbox mode, where you get to build your own cove without rules, and try to make it freaking sweet.

The game is pretty cool in that it offers a slightly demented pirate humor to everything. This may make it a bit unfit for little kids, but it’s amusing to read the character’s thoughts sometimes. Wenches think “Let me go!” while in the wench house, while occasionally you’ll find a lumberjack thinking “Did I lose a limb somewhere?”

The game is for PC, and there is a mac version out there too, but the reason I stumbled across this is that it was part of the GameTap line up. If you haven’t heard of GameTap, they let you download around 900 games in their directory just for a small membership fee. Tropico 2 is one of the games they offer, as well as the original Tropico. Anyway. It’s pretty sweet, so I’m going to give a chance for one of you to try it for 30 days.

That’s right. 30 Days, for free, try GameTap and check out Tropico 2
