Ever wished games were more realistic? Try this one. By shooting aliens, this game randomly deletes files from your harddrive. Wonder how long you can keep playing before you take that critical hit. (Mac only, but who's gonna play it anyway?)

"Apparently you can't produce anything anymore without filming it's production, and then including that in the final footage.

I'll preface future comments with a video link of me reading the Giz article, thinking, preparing my witty comment, and then typing it out furiously on the keyboard. The comment itself will be mediocre as usual, but the production value will be fantastic!"
