In this oddball, Russian-developed first-person shooter inspired by John Carpenter's film "They Live" (1988), you play as Jim Fail, a recently laid off engineer living in Moscow.  When Jim stumbles across a pair of magic glasses on an assignment that could land him a new job, all hell breaks loose.  With the glasses on, he sees things invisible to the naked eye:  Variations of posters, aliens in place of certain humans, and even hidden doorways leading to alien bases.  Worst of all, the aliens know he has the glasses and will stop at nothing to take him out.

This game, though neat and sometimes pretty to look at, is not without its flaws.  The gunplay is mediocre at best and the A.I. is among the worst I've seen in a modern game.  The story is also difficult to follow and the voice acting is just plain bad.  If you're a big fan of "They Live" like me and want a strange new shooter to try that uses the "magic glasses" concept, you can obtain "They're Alive!" from GamersGate at the following link:
