Surely 'Marines vs God' is the game name of the year

God looks on as a load of marines get Old Testament on Him.

Every so often you're browsing Steam's upcoming releases, and a game's name makes you do one of those cartoon spit-takes. Say hello to Marines Vs God, in development from no less than the Marines Vs God Team. It is an eight-person PvP game where seven players bellow "ooh-ra" and rush forwards with third-person guns a-blazing, while the other controls a giant disembodied hand in a top-down view and does everything they can to screw over the tiny humanoid team.

"Put your soul at stake and experience the power of natural selection in an epic battle with God," booms the Steam store description, making clear that this is not one for the creationists among us. Each mission sees the four marines dropped on a planet cursed with a bomb that eventually explodes and "leads to doom of the God", which makes you wonder why the deity's hindering rather than helping things, then have to complete objectives as the God player casts spells.
