May 2024

Now, when you first install this game, which is an action I highly recommend, your first thought will very possible be, "man this game looks like crap." However, it's not all about that. What its about is the thrill, the fun, and the exhilaration of running on infinite stamina screaming with your friends from some murderous thing. If you can get your friends to get it, please give it a chance, the levels get even more fun as the game progresses and your gang of hazmat fellas gets sillier.
