Welcome to Paradise… Arizona. They’re out to get you. Or are they? It doesn’t matter. You don’t have time to think, only time to kill. Blast, maim and fire-bomb your way through 17 unsuspecting locales, from a small town to a heavily guarded military complex. Don’t get too crazy – this killing spree is anything but senseless. Out here, strategy is key and the locals are packin’ - so take advantage of the third-person "premeditated" perspective that lets you see exactly who's cold and who's still able to pull a trigger.

Well, this game certainly didn't age well politically, but putting that aside it's cool to see a game this old alive on Steam with achievements and everything. Of course by today's standards it's not much more than what you could play online for free and it's hard to properly judge a game that came out in 1997 when I was 3 and not playing a lot of games about senselessly shooting civilians. But there were definitely enough different weapons and things going on to keep my attention, and I enjoyed the goofy things like shooting ostriches and the guy who says "Stop shooting you bastard, I'm already dead" when you kill him. It's a short game but worth a play if you enjoy revisiting older games, especially since it's free on Steam.
