Destroy All Humans! (Xbox, 2005)

I enjoyed playing this game. Forget about being serious, this game is just plain silly! The little alien dude has got the Jack Nicholson voice down pat! You get to blow up stuff, control humans, read human's thoughts (best part of the game!), and use telepathic powers to move things. You also have tools such as an anal probe and a ray gun. My favorite part of the game is walking around reading people's thoughts. Some of the things the people say are just too hilarious! For example, "Where did I leave my children" or "Look at my new brassier (sp?)! You could torpedo a U-Boat with these things!"

The game is similarly structured to Grand Theft Auto. You land your UFO in a location and you can walk around the area freely. You can read minds and collect brains or you can find a mission. There are plenty of missions to cover from a tutorial level at the beginning and several "boss" levels at the end of a series in a location. Basically you're trying to find out what happened to a previous ship that came to earth. If you die, then you have to restart the mission. As far as I know, you have unlimited life since you're being cloned. Also, when you're walking freely, you have to avoid arrousing suspicion or else they'll call in the military to capture you. You can assume a humanoid form as a disguise.

The game does get a little repeatative after a while (since it only has about five or six locations), but if you complete all the tasks then you'll get a very special bonus feature! I won't spoil the surprise, but it's worth playing the game for especially if you're a fan of those old cheezy sci-fi movies. You'll have so much fun anal probing people and reading their thoughts!
