    Too much is borrowed to make this a sparkling, innovative game.

    If Mayday sounds like an okay game so far, let me hit you with the clincher: the AI and unit selection is atrocious to point of being unforgivable.

    I had recently purchased this ghastly, flawed debacle, wrongly thinking that it's rediculous premise was somehow amusing. However, in I had recently purchased this ghastly, flawed debacle, wrongly thinking that it's rediculous premise was somehow amusing. However, in retrospect, I have to admit that the only amused party involved may have been the smirking sales clerk, who shall now carry within him, unto his dying day, the express and certain knowledge of my own undeniable stupidity.… Full Review »
