About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'Total Overdose' (PS2/Xbox/PC) - 4 New Screens

by Judy on Aug. 31, 2005 @ 4:54 p.m. PDT

Total Overdose is an over-the-top, adrenalin-fuelled, free-style action, 3rd person cinematic adventure with a strong whiff of tequila. Crash cars, steal hats, shoot bad guys with style, jump bikes, fight in the street, meet girls, shoot more bad guys, find your fathers killer, hot-wire tractors, eat Burritos, catch planes, drink tequila; the Mexican heat can make people do the strangest things.

1989: Deep in the heart of the Mexican jungle, undercover agent Ernesto Cruz blasts his way through an armed militia to board a DEA plane bound for home. He never made it, the victim of an alleged 'overdose'.

Present Day: After uncovering new evidence, Ernesto's son, Ramiro is set free from jail to join his twin brother Tommy, on the trail of their father's killer as they go on a super-cool, tequila fuelled rampage through Mexico's gun-toting, drug-pushing underworld.

  • A free-style combat and stunt system to take down your enemy with more outrageous moves than you can shake a hot chilli at
  • Cutting edge soundtrack featuring Molotov, Delinquent Habits, Control Machete
  • Uber-cool characters and missions with a strong whiff of tequila
