A disaster game in every sense of the word

Sep 19, 2006

Within the first few minutes of playing Bad Day L.A., an old southern coot greets you with the expression "hot Jesus on toast." But this action/adventure/satire/disaster game is not creamy, buttery Jesus on a crisp slice of fresh sourdough. It's not even "I Can't Believe It's Not Jesus." No, Bad Day L.A. is more like rancid snack cakes baked by Satan himself, and it will make you want to vomit. And what a sneaky Devil Dog it is. Bad Day L.A. came to us disguised as a satire of America's ...

American McGee's Bad Day L.A. hands-on

Can American McGee contend for the heavyweight satire champion? No - Jon Stewart still has that one...

Rock star game designer American McGee pokes fun at our national pastimes of racism and classism during our Bush-Era culture war of fear. Our hands-on look at Bad Day LA's demo began with a bang - a jumbo-jet filled with a cache of bioterrorist weapons crashes into the Santa Monica freeway during ... » Read Full Bad Day L.A. preview

The checkered history of Los Angeles suggests that on occasion it can help, ahem … redefine the concept of the human love/hate relationship. Even so, the city's seen nothing like this. In the third-person action game Bad Day L.A. you'll face missions involving plane crashes, zombie hordes, meteor showers, riots, a tsunami, an earthquake, and more. Crips vs. Bloods this is not. At the center is misanthrope and reluctant hero Anthony Williams. He's a former Hollywood agent so disenchanted ... » Read Full Bad Day L.A. preview

Bad Day LA

With sharp satire and a striking visual approach, this could represent a good day for gaming

Feb 15, 2006

We're used to gradual evolutions in gaming, be they in technical, graphical, even artistic fields. And you might have expected the same as gaming explores other new horizons, such as politics, current affairs, satire. But with Bad Day LA, American McGee has taken a tradition that had long since become dormant (in mainstream games at least), and has pushed it from a standing start to a racing finish. Taking on fistfuls of current taboos - terrorist attacks, immigration, obesity, tsunamis - it ... » Read Full Bad Day L.A. preview
