Snapshot: Derrick the Deathfin (PS3)
There are so many games out there we couldn't possibly review them all. Welcome to Snapshot, where we highlight games that might fall outside our usual coverage but are still something we think you should know about. An evil, or simply negligent, oil company pollutes the ocean a young shark lives in, and then carelessly kills his parents. The shark swears revenge and then goes on a rampage, traveling the world's oceans to personally destroy every piece of machinery the company owns, virtually emptying the waters of fish to keep himself alive along the way.In most media, including other games, this would be the setup for a grim, violent story. But Derrick the Deathfin somehow takes the murderous revenge story with environmental themes ... and makes it adorable.%Gallery-147232%
