What’d you think?: This PAL-exclusive shooter was nuts. A screenshot of the game with its obtrusive UI and isometric presentation led me to think it was some resource-based strategy thing. Instead, it’s a chaotic shooter with constant explosions all set to some driving hard rock music. The tutorial that explains all the objects in the game only displayed its tips for a short time, less than it took me to read them (and I don’t read slowly) — and wouldn’t repeat them! I didn’t get past the first real level, but this game was a glorious mess.
