Painkiller: Hell Wars
Demolish a weird version of Purgatory in this super-speedy first-person shooter
The pounding, steel-on-steel heavy metal soundtrack blares from the speakers, encouraging bloodlust. Never has there been a better argument for heavy metal inducing violent tendencies because whenever you hear it, you know it's time to start killing. Harvesting souls as you race between the corpses of your fallen enemies, Painkiller's intense music keeps you in the mood for monster massacring.
Unfortunately, there are still some issues that need to be worked out before this game takes its place on the shelves this May. It's frequently difficult to figure out where you're supposed to drag Daniel and we wandered around for quite a while until finding the last demon hiding somewhere. Hopefully, this problem can be hammered into submission in time for the game's release.
