Story                   : Hell's minions have overrun
                          the world. Citizens have banded
                          together into Militias to fight the
                          onslaught, but their every effort is
                          hampered by a human traitor called
                          the Rakehell. Your job is to hunt
                          down and kill every Rakehell. Only
                          Rakehells count toward your kill
                          total. They move fast and use
                          railguns, so watch your health and
                          know when to withdraw.

respectively), from "3D Game Alchemy" by Sams Publishing.
