I played “Prison Tycoon” years ago and really, really tried to like it. I followed the series for a while and the reviews of following sequels weren’t promising, so I chalked that up to yet another sim-subgenre that I’d never have a chance to love. Then along came “Prison Architect”, which (as of 11/8/12) is still in the Alpha stage. Will Morris from Introversion Software was kind enough to send me a copy, which I will share via a preview with you today. Like all Alphas, Betas, and previews, the features and mechanics that you may see or read about in this article are subject to change.
