Titled "Beyond Despair," this downloadable pack comes in at $8.99 and concludes the EDF 2025 story. The time has come to finally squelch the Ravagers once and for all, and save the earth from the hideous insect invasion. New weapons and new baddies appear on the scene for you and your posse to collect and/or blow holes into.
Modern shooters take themselves far too seriously. Sure, they might deal with mature themes like the brutality of war, or discovering the darkness lying in the hearts of all mankind, but they don’t have an ounce of humor at all. They resemble accountants in suits who feel uncomfortable when a client starts smiling. Earth Defense Force 2025, h...
The content features five missions with tons of bugs to crush. "Exploration" sends you to mountainous terrain where you must destroy a tunnel that creatures are emerging from.

The third person shooter pits mankind's last hope, the Earth Defense Force, against the invading alien hordes of the evil Ravagers. It looks as awesome as ever. Ok, "awesome" might not be the right word. It looks more like it will be absurdly entertaining. Or horrible. Probably both. Screw you; I like these games.
I got the chance to play some great games at E3 this year. I'm not going to lie - it's pretty awesome to get a early little hands-on time with some of my most anticipate cooperative titles. One of those games was the third-person sci-fi shooter, Earth Defense Force 2025. Players must defend mankind from armies of giant insects and massive robots. Part of the fun is destroying your own city while trying to eradicate the Ravager menace. It's just easier to shoot bugs when those pesky buildings are out of the way.
