Life

Upon visiting a friend's house and purchasing a few Playstation 2 games, my interest in gaming is back for a while. One advantage of my on-again off-again gaming binges includes the low prices the games usually are by the time I get back into gaming. Browsing the $19.99 racks, I found Destroy All Humans, a game I had been interested in when I saw it in gaming magazines a year or so ago. This game is every bit as fun as the previews indicated.

Who wouldn't enjoy running around and shocking people with your electric shock gun, sucking their brains out, and then taking off in your flying saucer and using your death ray to level a few cities? You even have psychokinetic powers that allow picking up people, cars, and even tanks and flinging them up and away to come crashing down. The game is very good at adding a comic flair to these absurd but fun activities, with a setting in the 1950s and an outrageous script.
