In case you haven’t seen all the Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon blanketing the site, I dug the game somethin’ fierce. That “10 out of 10” quote, may be a bit out of context, but I’ll happily stand by it… even thoughwe actually gave it an 8. What kept it from greatness, you ask?! Well, for one, it succeeds mostly because doesn’t set out to do that much.
