$20 game of the week: Destroy all Humans (xbox, PS2)

Out of all the Games that have adopted GTA’s free roaming design, only 3 really stand out from the pack. Spiderman 2, Mercenaries, and Destroy all Humans, the latter 2 designed by the same company, Pandemic. You play as Crypto, an alien looking to conquer an alternate 1950’s America chock full of paranoia and innuendo. You use different gadgets and powers such as an anal probe, flying saucer, and telekenesis (Throwing around cows is always fun). The game is fun, and silly, and it proves that the GTA formula dosen’t always have to be about drive bys and prostitutes. My only regret is that the game is too short and there is nothing much to keep you playing afterwards.
