Revenge your kind and destroy all aliens in this casual game

Jan 23, 2008 13:37 GMT  ·  By

There are two types of casual games: little games that are addictive as hell and make you waste all your free time and little games that, together with that, come with an incredibly well written and catchy story. This one we're talking about right now, called Planet Busters, is, fortunately, one of the latter. And it proves that casual games can be a great way to fill your time with.

The story is really funny and mean: a sneak attack by an evil dude named Scourge, Earth was completely destroyed and turned into a big cloud of interstellar dust. Somehow, human kind is not fully destroyed, though, and you, the player, are one of the survivors. And you're not ready to start whimming around and cry all day long - you have a bad arse ship ready to strike. And you are mean and ready to get your revenge, too. So, get ready to rock! (Or, rather, turn rocks into dirt...)

With a fast and simple gameplay, Planet Busters allows you to chase the evil Scourge and finally revenge your kind, while having some wicked fun: practically, you'll rearrange the whole Universe by blowing most of it up. Missiles will flash up the screen and you will have to match them up and create some really lethal chains, ready to produce huge explosions and a lot of mess.

And all this fun (if you consider blowing up the universe fun) will be available worldwide starting the first quarter of 2008, while rated "E" for Everyone. Also, an one hour long demo will be available for you to test the game and decide if it's worthy of your money or not.

In the end, Planet Busters developers Slam Games' Linda MacKellar said: "Mwaah hah ha ha haaaah!", as she obliterated the ancient worlds of Omicron Reticuli IV, V and VII. This is for you to know, in case you thought that such a game can be created by sane people.
