Destroy All Humans Review: Furon Fun Never Felt Better

Once upon a time games were always fun and complete on launch day. It seems like the last few years have been tough on the games industry, with continuous delays, game cancelations, and more dark problems than we ever knew could happen in this industry we love. With all the bad, there is always something good to make us realize there are still good things about this wonderful industry. Remakes always aren't the best idea, but when they are done properly they can be something wonderful that brings back the magic of the good old days. Blackforest Games and THQ NORDIC decided it was time to bring Crypto-137 and the Furon Empire back in all its glory for the new meat bags to play. Today, we are here with the remake of a cult classic DESTROY ALL HUMANS, so let's dive in…
