If keep-your-trigger-finger-mashed-to-the-controller mayhem is what you crave, if old-school, top-down, isometric perspectives make you all weepy for yesteryear, and if your credit's so bad you can't afford an A-list game, well, you really need to lose the grunge wardrobe and enter the 21st century. A better job wouldn't hurt either. Or, you can keep the flannel shirts, cargo pants, and duct-taped PC, and invest a mere ten dollars in Wasteland Angel, a throwback game if there ever was one.
The first-ever release from brand new Finnish design studio Octane Games, Wasteland Angel is far from a "statement" game. It is simplistic, repetitive, and dated. It takes mere minutes to learn, it never breaks from the pattern it establishes early, and it's certainly no visual masterstroke. However, it is cheap, it does allow you to shoot stuff non-stop, and it's makes for down 'n dirty fun for those half-hour work breaks when the complexity and the mental and hardware demands of Call of Duty just don't fit.
