You want a video game satire of a life time, then how come you haven’t checked out Destroy All Humans yet? This is honestly one of the best parody games since the Gex series and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. It makes fun of the cheesy UFO invasion movies from the 1950’s and turn it into a brilliant, yet underrated sandbox game. You play as an invader name Krypto set off to (what else) destroy the human race. But it isn’t as simple as blindly destroying a vast population, you have to go through a series of missions to plan out some of the most important humans to destroy before they can escape. You get a chance to destroy cows, civilians, militaries, and even the men in black with the laser weapons you wield, the power-up you earn, and even use your own UFO to even destroy buildings! This is a game the truly lives up to its name and it never bores you! Hell, even the game cutscenes were hilarious mixing gross out humor and even satirizing the 50’s decade. Sure, God of War is an extremely violent game that is a lot of fun, but Destroy All Humans is a better game because of all the abilities you can do to kill as many humans as you can! It has so much creativity and likeness to it that makes it worth play again and again! It’s a no brainer to say that if you want to play a sandbox game that’s different from anything that GTA does, you should definitely pick up Destroy All Humans!
From the early to mid 2000’s, the Tom Clancy video game series were the top military games in the market. Somehow the whole franchise ever got better after Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It’s so amazing that with stunning graphics that could fill up the entire disc, Chaos Theory had so many features like co-op, online multiplayer (spies vs. mercs), and a lot of replay value with each and every one of the levels. When it comes down to it, what makes Chaos Theory great to this day is the constant variety the game throws at you. Part of the reason is that Chaos Theory is the last classic Splinter Cell game before they had to change the direction of the series to lose it’s identity. There is no one right way, and you aren’t punished for taking one over the other, though those looking for 100 percent ratings on all of the missions will need to go full stealth – not killing anyone or setting off alarms. Even so, I never felt restricted even when going full-stealth, because the levels offered you so many options for being stealthy that you never even really notice you’re doing things one way. Chaos Theory, amazingly, can be both very difficult and very easy, depending on your play style. If you aren’t happy with the direction that the series has taken over the past few entries, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory holds up spectacularly, and can easily be called the best in the series thus far. Any fan of the stealth genre should do themselves a favor and pick this game up.
