Joystick Division: Homefront Review

The purpose of Homefront is to tell a story. Kaos Studios has made it abundantly clear by repeatedly noting the script is penned by John Milius, most famous for his quirky zen-anarchist beliefs and his writing and directing of Red Dawn. In fact, calling Homefront a video game update of Red Dawn isn't a far stretch, they both take place in Colorado during an invasion. Besides being a story, it's also a game, one in which you actively shoot people in the head as often as possible, but it's the story that appears to be the real ambition here.
