Synopsis

You are a god-fearing, law-abiding citizen, it's the year of 2005, and society is corrupted in a way never before seen in human history. Feeling to swim against a current, you still have your trust-worthy gun with you, you take a look at the city lights and you have no doubt about it, it is the right thing to do. Take a trip through six locations to seek and kill some of the most influential media people in the world.
