Imagine a world teeming with ghouls, mutants, rogue computers, and mercenary scum (i.e., your office) set in a near-future, post-nuke wasteland that would make Mad Max soil his leathers, and youve got yourself a premise for a delightful video game. Choose between mutant freak, obligatory hottie, or wizened badass, ignore the ordinary, top-down perspective, and navigate maze-like levels through nonstop action. Play consists mostly of stopping rival factions from their nefarious plans by blowing up giant rats and killer robots and collecting loot to upgrade your arsenal and armor. The deadly combination of shopping for new murder gear and completing missions of mass destruction make this game more addictive than caramel-coated OxyContin.
