Communist/ Russian games

Hi, I'm just setting up a Sony Vaio lappy for an Autistic man I know and I need to load it with games as he hasn't got internet .
He loves anything to do with Russia and Communism, so I am looking for downloadable games with that theme, preferably with the Commies being the hero's. He's a good gamer and can play Halo very well.
Does any one know any games that would fit the requirements please?
The specs are 1 gig of ram, 100gig HDD using WinXP (but has a sticker saying it can cope with Vista *shudder*)
Tonnes of thanks in anticipation,
Karen

    Or C&C Red Alert 2. There is an add on pack as well called Yuri's revenge which is quite good fun!

  • I was going to suggest C&C games

    Call of Duty and Call of Duty finest hour both have world war 2 Russian front missions. As does Battlefield 1942.

    No :), but he does have a major problem the way that America is trying to take over the world (games, cartoons, food and clothing styles), to the extent he will not watch cartoons if they are American!
