### 2/5 — Alien Annihilation

*2014-11-07*

In itself this game is very enjoyable and addictive, however it is spoilt by PPP up adverts which appear every few minutes. Wouldn't mind if they offered a paid upgrade to stop them! Pop ups makes the game unplayable. Now deleted it and won't be buying any of this producers games.
