They call it the Mexican Max Payne, but it's so much more. In this 2nd episode of Dog Days, our Retrospective Reviews, I play Total Overdose for the first time, exploring why it's remembered so fondly and why I think we need more games like this today. Developer Deadline Games may have shutdown, but they created a masterpiece. Spicy move!
