Earth Defense Force 2017
Published by D3 in 2007, Earth Defense Force 2017 or better known as simply EDF was a cult classic for the Xbox 360. EDF was a third person, over the shoulder video game where the player gained increasingly less realistic guns as they progressed. Starting out with only a single machine gun, to eventually unlocking the Genocide gun which levels the entire city.  The premise of the gun is very simple: Aliens are attacking Earth, and you are the only one competent enough to stop them. Although you spawn with nearly 60 EDF troops, nearly all of them either kill themselves or are taken out before you even get to the first fight. The game begins with large space ships dubbed "Ravagers" which are only seen overhead. Quickly after they arrive, they begin to drop giant insects, mainly ants that spit acid. After fighting ants off of Tokyo, the game introduces robots, spiders, and jets all of which drop a weapon drop granting a random weapon. The most enjoyable part of the game is the explosive weapons, which make up most of the arsenal, sends ants flying and buildings crumbling in a single hit. However most of the other weapons are nearly impossible or impractical to use, such as an acid-spitting shotgun, which in a game of unlimited ammo, can only shoot 100 shots. The Game supports 2 player, drop in drop out gameplay which enhances the arcade style of the game. Ammo is unlimited, and there are five difficulty levels allowing for ease for new players.
