Destroy All Humans! Available On The PlayStation 4 Store
Over eleven years after its initial release, Destroy All Humans! is now on the PlayStation 4 digital store for $19.99, complete with trophies and widescreen support.
Destroy All Humans! stars Cryptosporidium-136, an alien hellbent on taking over Earth in the 1950s through destruction, psychokinesis powers, and, yes, anal probing. Game Informer's Joe Juba gave the game an 8 back in his 2005 review.
Destroy All Humans! 2 has not been officially announced for a digital release PS4, but it has been recently rated by PEGI, which heavily implies its impending release.
For a look at Destroy All Humans!, check out our Replay of the PS2 version here. 100ft Robot Golf's Dan Teasdale also had a hand in Destroy All Humans!, which you can hear more about on the Game Informer Show here.

Our Take
While it's nice to get older, more niche games available digitally, the $19.99 asking price is a bit steep. Considering how no details were given on any possible technical upgrades, it looks like it's just a slightly above standard, more expensive PS2 game on the PS4.
