Republic: the Revolution
When the corrupt leader of Novistrana kidnapped your parents for speaking out against his regime, he made a very dangerous enemy. You swear to turn the entire country against President Karasov, using your intellect and charisma to rally your comrades behind you. Soon, your revolution will make history!

And so did this (although maybe I just didn't see it coming up).

Apparently it has a BAFTA-nominated soundtrack, though.

while you're at it....you might....you might want to look at your pipeline real quick Cthu.

Looks like there's still a kink or two in there.

Uh, weren't we supposed to get Rainbow six vegas today? That's what the new and upcoming list says

Nyet! In Soviet Novistrana, pipeline looks at you!.

Wow. I can't believe GT actually got this. I remember playing this game a few years ago. Kind of a turn based "board game" style political sim. It's definiately different and innovative as strategy games go.

Unfortunately, it's marred by a very obtuse control scheme and tutorials that really don't do all that much tutoring. It can also be unimaginatively dull at times.

If you're a Poli Sci major or a student of the Russian Revolution, definiately give this a look. Otherwise, I think this game is just a little too esoteric for the GT community at large.

Do I detect a whiff of condescension on the breeze?

Sorry about that. I assure you that condescension was never my intent. I probably should have worded that a bit differently.

Republic: The Revolution is definitely a good game (once you get around the somewhat cumbersome interface). It just seems that this is a game that is going to have very limited appeal.

Rainbow six vegas?

I really want to get into this game, but I cannot figure out the part where you're conversing with someone. You distribute points to 4 boxes, there's something about rounds, the boxes pop on the screen in random order, a bunch of numbers I can't figure out... Somehow I win the conversation but I don't know how, I don't even know what they're saying to each other since it's in Russian. You'd think they could at least put subtitles.

I had a rough time as well. Did some searching on the "net" and checked out a few walkthroughs to get the hang of it.
Even managed to find a manual. Which... wasn't all that great.
The speech is (according to one of the walkthroughs) in Russian gibberish, so don't worry about what they're saying.

Yeah, I found a manual too, here ---> http://www.replacementdocs.com/request.php?1054

It's very complex. Just like the game.

Were our instructions helpful in figuring out the game?

Yes, were it not for GT's instructions I would have been completely lost, instead of just somewhat lost.

I want to play this game, But i'm a free-pack subscriber.

I hate money.
