Fresh Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland (DS)

Gears of War (Xbox360)

A team of space marines land on a distant alien planet to do battle with a terrifying alien force. You control each team member as they split up into mobile teams. Throughout, instead of aliens, the team ends up in terrifying dreams from their military past. Consumed by madness, and unable to distinguish reality from fantasy they slowly kill one another off until only a handful remain. Alyssa, the straw-haired slim optimist of the group tries to get them to work together to overcome the all-encompassing madness. She is ignored and raped by each of the remaining marines in turn and then forced to watch while her father and children are forced into the white slave trade.

Eventually the slavering alien hoards do come, and it turns out Alyssa is one of them. In the final epic boss fight, Alyssa and the aliens methodically tear to shreds and eat each of the remaining marines. Their families hang themselves.
