Developing a game for a platform that has no physical buttons has got to be challenging; especially when that game is one like Smackdown vs. Raw, a game that has a large fan base with high expectations. However, you would think that an elite developer like THQ would find a way to make this work. But in the case of Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, they have flat on nearly every possible level.

Alien Shooter Vengeance falls somewhere between the two. Employing a 3/4 camera perspective (Diablo-style), players are thrust into the role of a mercenary, selling skills, guile, and brute force to the M.A.G.M.A. Corporation - which for some reason has experienced "drastic personnel changes of late". This is an alien shooter, after all, so one could imagine that just like in the movies, the aliens tend to slightly outnumber the good guys. The developers at Sigma did a fairly good job at creating an action-RPG where players blast away mercilessly upon a virtual never-ending sea of alien critters. While suffering from numerous minor flaws, the game still has an inherent classic, throw-back charm that insidiously beckons for the player to keep playing again and again. Is it point and click action 99% of the time? Sure. But it is wickedly addictive and fun - for a while.
