If you haven't seen ads and trailers for it, a movie called "Battle: Los Angeles" came out:

And just recently on Steam, I saw a game version out for only $10, hmmm...

When I first saw the trailer for the movie, I was pretty interested in all the action. Little did I know that it was going to be ill received by the critics. As for the game, I heard that the quality is laughable and that the game is shorter than the movie. Whaaat? The game is shorter than the movie? Even for $10, that is not very much. I've paid games that were $2 on steam that lasted longer than that. The game's mechanics is mediocre and doesn't have anything new to show off, but many of those who played through it got a laugh out of the bad voice acting and story telling. Sad, I was thinking of getting it on Steam when I saw it, but I hesitated when I realized there wasn't multiplayer. After reading some reviews, I'm going to have to pass on this. I'm already having a difficult time deciding between Crysis 2, Homefront, Brink, and Killzone 3, so I think passing on Battle: Los Angeles will be okay.
