Greyhill Incident

I can't recommend Greyhill Incident. It's just not a very good game. It has some great ideas and I'd love to see the 50s horror-style alien invasion done justice, but it's just not happening here. You'd have more fun sitting on your porch rooftop and sticking your bum in the air, hoping for a probing.
