Pest Control is a game that involves two of our favourite activities – killing stuff and picking on things smaller than ourselves – so hooray for that.

Without putting too fine a point on it, Pest Control is a bug-splattering game – you're a disembodied flyswat and you have to kill a certain amount of nasties in an allotted timeframe. But what pushes Pest Control above the realm of the ordinary is the sheer difficulty of the bastard. Pest Control doesn't just pit you against flies but maggots and snails and – in one particularly hair-tugging instance – fleas.
