Prison Architect

This very clever game is probably one of the best simulations ever made. You may think that you can't run a prison with the same pressures as a business or city building game, since the prisoners don't pay to be held in jail. However, this game's pressures are in keeping your inmates from rioting by keeping them happy... and well guarded.
Money is made depending on the number of prisoners in the form of government grants, and you also get a bonus whenever you accept new inmates. In my prison, I'm just struggling to keep 124 men fed enough, and housed, but housing is solved when my inmates start to murder each other.
In this game you can design your own cells, choose the luxuries your prisoners enjoy, the guards that are posted, the time allotted for work and play and you generally have a huge amount of control in this great game, which is complete with a nice interface and simple art.
This has to be my favourite simulation game, probably just after the tropic series.
I would highly recommend this game who's only drawback is a lack of multiplayer.

I personally like the slow, but hugely damaging and stunning attacks and abilities of the Warhammer, but faster weapons such as the rapier are available too. I would heartily recommend this game, but it would be a good idea to wait for a sale, during which it would n...
