This game's been out for a while, I know, but I just love it. Dante's Inferno. I mean, come on, you get to kill the Grim Reaper within the first five minutes of game play and then you steal his scythe to go and kill all the little demons with. Not to mention just the fact that they made a game based loosely off of The Inferno by Dante Aligheri makes an English major like me want to jizz my pants. Now a lot of people's major gripe about playing Dante's Inferno is that it's just too much like God of War... People like Yahtzee from The Escapist.
O.K. it might be, but the fact that Yahtzee and the rest of the staff got rickrolled by EA for this review is nothing short of hilarious. And nevertheless, this game offers some pretty disturbing images for those who are of a depraved mind like me. All the rest of the game is a load of frustration and a bunch of "Ah ha" moments when you recognize certain of the damned from mythology and Bible verses and such. But it's all still fun, especially the part where little demon babies with knives for arms start skittering around cooing and trying to chop your legs off right out from under you.
