Quake IV

Like Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff (…or Lindsay and Ashlee Simpson…or Lindsay and Condoleezza Rice…), there's no love lost between the Strogg and the Space Marines. Which is why, after playing some unfriendly games of “Capture The Flag” and other death sports in Quake III Arena, they're still at each other's throats in this harrowing first-person shooter. Picking up moments after Quake II ended, Quake IV drops you in the war zone that is the Strogg's home planet, where you must blast your way through their defenses like a horny teenage boy with a coy prom date. But while he'll only get slapped, you get caught and turned into an alien cyborg. It's an interesting twist, though one that isn't necessary, since like Quake, Quake II, and Lohan, Quake IV shows no mercy.
