Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon – Review

My mother’s side of the family is Ukrainian and, many years ago, back in the motherland, our family was cursed. The details are sketchy. Knowing us, we probably ran over a gypsy with a horse or some such, but whatever happened, our bloodline was doomed…
