Game Revolution: Plunder Preview - A hex on yer eyes

Game Revolution writes: "Caribbean piracy had its so-called 'golden age' back in Ye Olde Day, and pirate-themed entertainment seems to be having one of its own right now: games both hardcore and casual, the theatrical swell of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (with another already on the way!), and even some changes to what is arguably the pirate-mania center of the universe. Meanwhile, Capcom is walking the plank with its forthcoming Plunder, a casual gamer's real-time, hex-based territorial-domination game. Wait, what?

As soon as you start talking about hex-based maps, some Bejeweled-loving casual gamer out there starts twitching in his sleep… but despite its surface-level, hex-based visual stylings, Plunder is about as friendly as they come. With goofy, bouncy, cartoonish graphics that strongly evoke the late great Psygnosis' Shipwreckers!, this game available for Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and PC lets up to eight players (or up to four on a single console) battle for control of candy-colored seas and coastal towns."
