Sales are a great time to give uglier games a chance. You know, games you weren't dying to buy at launch, but always kind of wanted to play.  With that in mind, now's a great time to try Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon. The Xbox Live Arcade version has just gone on sale for 400 MS Points (its first discount) as part of Microsoft's Shocktober promotion. Also on sale are a handful of other horror-themed games, including co-op zombie slaughterfest Dead Rising 2.

Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon is a twin-stick shooter based on the lovably bizarre Adult Swim cartoon. How many other games let you collect demon babies and swap them out at an orphanage?

Ugly Americans is a cartoon series on Comedy Central about quirky, undead, and other unique individuals that become integrated into life in the Big Apple.  The show's characters are now part of a new game called Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon.  With characters like a wizard, a zombie, and a police officer - it seems ripe for some ridiculous looking action.  The game features all of the voice actors from the show, while the story is penned by the writers and the show's creator Devin Clark.
