Bulletstorm: Murder by the Numbers

Today's post concerns some initial thoughts on playing Bulletstorm. These thoughts concern tone more than gameplay.

I expected Bulletstorm to provide over the top parody of action games (the way that, say, Machete provides a similar critique of the exploitation film), what I got was over the top but an also altogether too familiar images of men in video games. If Bulletstorm is supposed to be a joke, how come it feels so much like Gears of War or Turok or Darksiders or any number of other games? Where's the parody?
