This one came straight out of the blue. The ANGRY Pixel’s community manager, Jay Patel, while trawling through his usual hangouts at nV News Forums, came upon this thread claiming that PC version of Dark Sector has been released in Russia! Frantic Google searches did not turn up anything on any of the major gaming websites. Quick scan through the thread seems to confirm the fact that the game indeed is out in Russia while rest of the world has no clue about it. Have a look at the thread for screenshots of the installation process as well as the YouTube video that shows off the PC gameplay. Major bummer though that the game chose to go with StarForce protection system.

  Despite in being in Russian, I can still understand the game if I read the whole storyline before playing.
  Most of the game menu is incredibly easy to configure even if you don’t know the language.

  I do believe if there was one released in Russia, there is very likely going to be a dispute in having it released in other regions.

  the chose Russia, cause all the game publishers think that Russia is the first country that makes copies of pirated games, cause the game publishing is so late in there, so they try to publish first in Russia to see if that works
