I came out of E3 raving about Deadline’s Total Overdose. At<br />
the time, I thought it was a selfconsciously cinematic shooter,<br />
like Max Payne or Dead to Rights, except Total Overdose is<br />
deliberately funny. As it turns out, that’s only half the game.<br />
Total Overdose is set in the Mexican city of Los Toros, a hotbed of drug<br />
activity. Ramiro Cruz, a convict masquerading as his DEA-agent twin<br />
brother, is going undercover with the cartels to learn the truth about his<br />
father’s murder. This will involve ‘80s-action-movie-style violence.<br />

When you’re in Los Toros, you can go nuts in the time-honored sandbox<br />
manner, stealing cars, attacking criminals, or searching for bonuses.<br />
In story missions, you’ll take out enemy gunmen with slow-motion<br />
shootdodges and vehicular manslaughter, all to a unique soundtrack of<br />
Mexican hiphop. By stringing together combos of creative kills, you’ll earn<br />
points towards improving Ramiro’s skills, so it’s in your best interests to<br />
make this messy. Go for the headshot, jump from a moving car, run guys<br />
over with a tractor, and blow everything up.<br />

Anybody remember playing cops and robbers as kids?<br />
Get ready to take it to the big leagues.<br />
25 to Life isn’t all cop-killing and gang-banging, despite what<br />
you may have heard on CNN. It’s going to bring us<br />
an all-out single player mode, where you get the<br />
perspectives of both the cops and the gangsters,<br />
and a robust online multiplayer mode. When I say<br />
robust, I mean robust. Think 16 players, customizable<br />
characters, both lethal and non-lethal weapons,<br />
voice chat via the headset, and unlockable gear<br />
to show off.<br />
Take your game online and pick sides. Do you feel the need to play the role of the<br />
police and capture crooks, or do you want to walk on the wild side? Each side has<br />
different bonuses and drawbacks. Cops are better trained, so they have better aim, but<br />
the gangsters are coming to the party with fully automatic heavy weaponry.<br />
Add in a hip-hop soundtrack that features KRS-One, Ghostface Killah, and Gangstarr,<br />
and you’ve got the makings of a hit game on your hands.<br />
