"It Don't Mean Butt If It Ain't Got That Jut"

Republic: The Revolution is on of this week’s new releases on GameTap. Republic is created by the same studio who produced the Evil Genius, a game that has recently risen to GameTap’s most played game. Republic is a bit more ambitious than Evil Genius and as a result will have a much more narrow appeal. RtR is a political strategy game in which you must use your influence, money, and power to rally the people to a revolt against a tyrannical President. However, you won’t be the only party vying for power and you’ll face stiff competition from others with differing ideologies. If the above is enough to pique your interest Republic could become your new time-sink.

Subtlety Is Not Their Strong Suit

Let’s face it sometimes, nay, most of the time evil is fun. I’m speaking of evil in the gaming world of course, where tough moral choices typically consist of “Should I smash the goblin with this war-hammer? Or burn him alive with a fireball?” and the only consequence of our actions is at worst a loading screen. Our new release, Evil Genius, takes the concept of “evil is fun” and runs with it, crafting a deep strategy game with clever mechanics, slick mid-century art style, and characters plucked from straight out of spy-fiction pulp. While the style and setting is familiar enough in other pop-media, James Bond, The Incredibles, The Venture Brothers, it is relatively untouched, and undeservedly so, in the video game world. I won’t leave you strapped the table, boring you to death with more text, just start downloading.
