Due for release in September, City Trader from Monte Cristo Games looks like being the forerunner of a new style of computer game.

A fascinating combination of role-play, strategy and decision-making really brings the game to life.

The software is intricate and very clever and if you ever had the urge to wear big red braces, now is the time to start.

Assemble your own team of city traders and take the financial world by storm.

Early indications suggest that Monte Cristo has a winner.

Time will tell, but at this price it certainly won't break the bank to have a look.
