Armed with billions of bullets and a dodgy dictionary, Planet Moon's new shooter is probably the funniest adventure currently on the market. Read Review
Take a band of gun-toting rebels -a robot, a madman, a mole and a criminal mastermind. Put them in a vividly stunning fantasy realm. Then give them an impossible mission - pulling off the biggest heist of all time in the middle of a war. All you have to do is battle your way through dastardly enemies, giant war machines and an army of psychopathic robots. But don't worry; you have plenty of ammo and absolutely no common sense. Victory is yours in 12,000 bullets or less as your fight your way through 21 action-packed missions, explore five diverse environments, and brandish over 17 outlandish weapons like the Cyclops Sniper Rifle, the Vindaloo Rocket Launcher, or the Topsy-Turvy and Sticky bomb.
Anyone who's ever sat down for lunch with any development team knows that, as a rule, they're usually groups not known for comedy stylings. Talent, resourcefulness, toy collections, sure … but humor? Not so much, which makes Planet Moon Studios the odd man out, as things go. Its Giants: Citizen Kabuto was a twisted stroll through what might have been a mutated set of alternate English Isles. Now with backing from LucasArts, the not quite follow-up is Armed & Dangerous, an action blast that salvages Giants' shortcomings with heaps of humor and style. Read More »
Though it sports the same name as the classic Eugene Levy film, LucasArts Armed & Dangerous has nothing to do with the bushy-browed thespian. Instead, this action game tells the chaotic tale of a gang called the Lionhearts. A group of rogues turned heroes (not really by their choice), the trio get caught up in an adventure that thrusts them into the role of the saviors of the land. On a mission to recover the legendary Book of Rule, which will help them overthrow a tyrant king, the Lionhearts save the day the only way they know how -- by blowing up everything and everyone in sight. Armed & Dangerous is full of ridiculous action and injected with Planet Moon's unique sense of humor, making it ideal for gamers that want their funny bone tickled while causing mass destruction.

"You gotta boil it down to the essentials," said Jay (of Jay and Silent Bob) in Chasing Amy. In this day of angst-ridden adventures, melodramatic space ballets, and histrionic role-playing games, a healthy dose of mindless violence serves as a nice reminder of what's important in life: blowing stuff up. Planet Moon and LucasArts is serving up a most generous portion of one of gaming's favorite past times in Armed & Dangerous. Described by the publisher as an "action-action game," Armed & Dangerous is a third-person action game with some light tactical elements and a heavy dose of humor, but at the end of the day it's all about blowing up a lot of stuff.
