Ha, ha, ha! Destroy All Humans is hilarious! |

I love this game. Everything about it is a subtle and not so subtle slam on the Bush administration and the paranoia of our times. For those who don't know, in the game you play as an alien named Crypto, who's mission it is to turn Earth into a colony for the Furon Empire. Along the way you get to blast many ignorant, brainwashed Republicans, fascist cops, sinister government agents, and phony media personalities into powder with your arsenal of alien weaponry. The game takes place in the 50's, but is really a metaphor for today. You get to read people's minds and hear them thinking thoughts like, "I sure do like that Ike! He's the kind of president you can have a barbecue with!" Other times rednecks will come at you with their shotguns shouting, "America! Love it of leave it!" Along the way you discover that the government is in fact trying to brainwash American citizens through, guess what? A cable news network! You hear one of the scientists who worked on the plan saying that, "It worked! The people affected are now totally paranoid and afraid of anything different. As an added bonus, 78% of them have now registered to vote as Republican."
Yes, the world in this game is one giant Bushtopia. And you get to destroy it all! Jolly good fun!
