Those Left Behind
April 05, 2008
I pointed you in the direction of Retro Sabotage a few weeks ago, but their latest video game parody deserves some additional attention. Have you ever wondered what happens to video game levels after the battles are over? Sure, we see the action first-hand with guns blazing and enemies swarming, but what happens next? What becomes of those left behind? Who cleans up the bombed rubble and smoldering craters? What keeps the lush greenery from becoming a dusty desert? Although devoid of action, the Autopsy of a Battlefield retake of the classic arcade shooter Xevious tells a powerful story. Make sure to see it through to the end out of respect to those who came before.
