Do you remember, back in April, I introduced you to the upcoming Stalin vs Martians video game?

It was being hyped as one of the oddest RTS (Real Time Strategy) games ever, and came with a ludicrous orange video of Stalin throwing some moves on the dancefloor at the same time as beating the cr*p out of Martian baddies.

Well, it was finally released a couple of weeks ago to some pretty impressive reviews. Impressive in the sense that it was universally acclaimed as the worst RTS game in history. I think Gamespot UK said it best:

Don’t be offended by Stalin vs. Martians’ subject matter. The genocidal communist leader may figure heavily in this budget-priced real-time strategy game, but it’s hard to be outraged when he’s gyrating his hips to the beat of Russian dance pop, or signing off his written missives with “xxooxx.” No, be offended because Stalin vs. Martians is an abysmal game that represents the dregs of game design. It isn’t strategic, it isn’t fun, and as hard as it tries, it isn’t even remotely funny. This is perhaps the worst RTS game ever created, worth neither the 1s and 0s that were used to program it nor the mental exertions expended on this creatively bankrupt waste of hard-drive space.

Stalin vs Martians. Available at today all gamestores without quality control.

Oh well. To cheer you all up a bit, here’s that video of Stalin dancing again.
