The single greatest trailer ever made?

I think so

I think that award goes to [VIDURL="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36746.html"]Duke Nukem Trilogy[/VIDURL]

Not enough euro techno or Stalin dancing to take that title.

Basil

Oh this is fantastic.

Good lord. I have never seen a better trailer. The bar has been raised, gentlemen.

Zek

this is definitely a very funny concept to compensate for what is almost assuredly a very bad game

Inzigna

Guys, I don't think I'll be buying this.

Unless it happens to be 1 zillion times cheaper than Red Alert 3.

mxmarks

So Pikmin are on the martain team. Thats pretty sweet.

DanHibiki

Sold!

Also, I like the idea of a simple arcade style RTS and this game will probably be dirt cheap, like the bootlegged vodka that inspired it.

I'm coming to your house... SOON!

Is there some video or something that I'm missing? Or is this the "oh shit it's so bad it's gotta be good" sorta thing?

Because.. Seriously. People bitch about Capcom releasing another light gun game for the Wii, yet jump aboard this train wreck of a game?

Y'all bitches are crazy.

When building hype, absurdity is an acceptable substitute for quality.

I like to call this the Snakes On A Plane Effect, and it is the marketing department's most lethal weapon when hunting those slippery 18-34 males.

The difference is: Samuel L Jackson is awesome. Stalin is not.

Depends on how much you like genocide.

And honestly, who doesn't like genocide?

You've got a point, and I'd like to subscribe to your RSS feed.

I for one loved House of the Dead Overkill

This looks pretty funny, but if the gameplay isn't solid then I'm not sold.

Their website has that amateur stink. Lots of claims and reassuring us that the game doesn't suck without backing it up with anything.

Someone's bound to be offended by a giant Stalin.

That and Madworld are basically the only reason I'd buy a Wii.

Lurk

The game seems like a fun XBLA title in all fairness, but it could have a funny campaign.

Darklyre

Fuck the game itself. If the FAQ page alone is that awesome, imagine how good the manual will be.

Like the Americans huh huh huh.

Interview!

If they make a giant radioactive Stalin that can kick aliens apart (like George Washington) then I might have to buy this game on principle alone. A dancing dictator screensaver could make the deal even sweeter.

I noticed that it was linked on their website, but I held off posting it when I noticed that it was a year old.

It's easy to miss and for a game with no real info, any news is good.

Claw Shrimp

On the one hand, the gameplay in that trailer looks kinda bland.
On the other, Rhythm IS a dancer.

I would guess at Nixon getting his own expansion pack.

Zombiemambo

There's a new trailer up, featuring more gameplay footage and even more dancing. I won't post it here because a) I'm too lazy and b) I'm not sure if I should be exposing myself to this...thing any longer than I have to.

Oh absolutely.

I'm glad that such an overlooked period of wartime history is finally getting its time in the spotlight. The media focus on Hitler and his Amazing Reggae Brigade is understandable, given its more global implications, but that definitely doesn't mean that the heroes of these lesser known conflicts should be forgotten.

I'm digging this game's attention to historical accuracy; like how the Martians are ranked depending on hue and they've really captured the Father of the Motherland's above average stature.

BloodySloth

In my heart i know this game will be terrible, but I want so badly for it to be great that the delusion will probably carry me through a purchase.

Stalin killed millions, but Robot Nixon is fuckin' evil.

And people ask themselves, "is there life on Mars?"

the answer?

NOT ANYMORE

Stalin vs. Martians is available for pre-purchase on Steam.

Well that's annoying. There is a pre-purchase option for Plants vs. Zombies though, no idea what it is. Doesn't look too good.

Up for sale now?

Anyone been brave enough to buy it and tell us if it's worth the money or not?

subedii

RPS just put up a little opinion on it

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/04/29/rps-vs-mezmer-stalin-vs-martians-impressions/

Shortly put:

Would I recommend it to buy after my experience of its five levels-of-its-twelve? For fifteen quid? Not on your nelly. But there’s certainly car-crash value, especially if you tie yourself in theoretical knots deciding exactly how much of the game is satire.

Lurk

I am surprised it will cost so much : /

xzzy

Yeah with a review like that.. I ain't paying $17.

I might spend 5. Might.
