Just when you thought that Ed Wood Jr. won´t rise from the dead...
Ok, actually i had a look at metacritic.com because i wanted to check out the current metascore for 3CTM - so far so good. Then i had a look at the games on the left side of the page and there it was .. STALIN VS MARTIANS
The game´s got an incredibly poor metascore of 21 out of 100 and is probably one of the biggest stinkers in gaming history but what the heck, who needs good reviews when you´ve got a storyline like this:
"The player controls the Red Army as it defends Earth from the Martian Invasion of 1942, the highly classified military operation which even today remains a closely guarded state secret. Stalin himself conducts the mission briefings, and later even becomes a playable unit. The bold leader is duly serious even as he faces the most ridiculous threat the world has ever known."
Or to say it with the words of the official website ( http://www.stalinvsmartians.com/en/index.html :
Year 1942. Summer. The martians suddenly land somewhere in Siberia and attack the glorious people of Holy Mother Russia. It is a hard time for USSR as you might know from the history books if you ever attended school. The situation is really fucked up, so comrade Stalin takes the anti-ET military operation under his personal control. The operation is a top secret and virtually nobody knows about the fact of extraterrestial intervention.
— Well, that's it. Under the Stalin's command we must take control over Red Army forces and kick some alien ass. What shocks the most is that the martian forces look like a gay parade of Nintendo-styled cartoonish creatures [...]
This game is too good to be true. But it is true. It's here and now.
Wow!
