On the upside, I got a copy of Republic: The Revolution, which is probably THE game I've been waiting for this year.

The concept is just too cool. You're a guy in a fictional Eastern European country. There's a dictator who runs the country. You don't like him, so you have to overthrow him anyway you can. You start with just one follower and you can either bully everyone into joining your side or persuade them by doing nice things to them. I can't wait to see if they were able to actually do everything they set out to do.
