Vanquish

When a scene opens on an idyllic setting, it's really only a matter of time until it all goes to hell.

My, doesn't this game look on the epic side of things.
From the reviews of it (and the fact that this episode of Unskippable and a quick trip to it's Wiki page is all the info I have on it) it does look interesting.
Hmm, wonder how much testosterone ends up flying around in THIS game?

A whole lot of it. There's even a button to make him smoke.

Space Russians? Really?

I...guess. I mean, that guy did look kind of like a creepier Putin (no mean feat, by the way), but still. Russians?

Apparently in the future the human race will be so dumb that we'll all stand around and watch the giant orbital death ray right up to the point that falling debris crushes our skulls. Hooray for us!

I look forward to seeing what those crazy Space Russians will get up to next.

I just want to say, the demo for this game made it look like it would be a lot of fun.
