Bad Day L.A. (Review)

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: The GamesRadar Interview (Part 2) (Feature)

Aug 18, 2006

(You know, this makes more sense if you've read Part 1 first.) GR: What's your favorite aspect of Bad Day LA? AM: I like the fact that this is a game about helping and caring. In a world where other video games are teaching our children how to rape prostitutes, make lampshades from human remains and shoot innocent water buffalos with RPGs, Bad Day LA serves up a "Love thy neighbor... and set on him fire with a Molotov cocktail if he's turned into a brain-eating zombie" type message that ...

American McGee: The GamesRadar Interview (Part 1) (Feature)

Aug 18, 2006

Even if you've never heard of American McGee, you'll remember him now from the unusual name (His famous explanation: "My mom smoked pot. She was a hippie. I'm not sure how else to put that"). But it's more likely that you've played one of the games he's helped create: Doom II, Quake, American McGee's Alice, or Scrapland. His latest, Bad Day LA, puts players in the middle of Los Angeles on the worst day ever, with simultaneous disasters breaking out around the city. But instead of being a ...

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

Aug 8, 2006

True fact: one in 1,368 readers will be struck and killed by a falling meteor while reading this. That type of absurd humor jams the subversive, satirical action-title Bad Day LA way past chock-full. 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 ...

Bad Day L.A. (Preview)

Feb 24, 2006

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 ...

Bad Day LA (Preview)

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 ...
