HAY GUYS

So I downloaded the demo for this little hack-n-slash title and, even though it has so-so flow for an action title that feels like a God of War clone, it's the imagery and the background that really got me liking this title. The game is based on the writings of Dante Alighieri (most notably, The Divine Comedy and Inferno) and and starts off in Italy and moves straight to the nine levels of hell. The boss fights are MAD crazy.

About the only central form of information for this game was (sadly) its Wikipedia entry.

Quote:

Later, in October 2009, it was announced that the game would include an Xbox 360 achievement and a PlayStation 3 trophy entitled "Bad Nanny", which rewards players for killing unbaptized infants. This sparked a conflict with the International Nanny Association (INA), in which they encouraged supporters to oppose the game. The INA claimed that the achievement is offensive to real nannies and that it also promotes real-life violence. In retaliation, the INA asked the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to omit the reward and elements of infant violence. The ESRB insisted that its role was merely to label products appropriately, not to censor them, so their request could not be met. Despite this, the INA is still boycotting the game with hopes of it being changed before release.

HOLY FUCKBALLS, YES! It's time to kill us sum chillun!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Come on, I didn't say it was an adaptation. I like the way they wove the "Nine Levels of Hell" into the story and it's taken from, yeah, great literature. If it makes you feel better, I removed "entirely" from "entirely based" so that it doesn't feel like I've cheated my dear readers into a bait-and-switch. We cool?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Have YOU ever stitched a quilt to your exposed-and-very-well-sculpted chest and abs? No? DIDN'T THINK SO.

(THE SHIT HURTS, OK? WHY YOU GOTTA HATE ON EVERYTHING A NIGGA DO. FUCK.)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nudity aside, I actually dug the setting and the enemy character designs. I don't know if I'll buy it on day one because, the last time I did that, I ended up with [PROTOTYPE]. Not that it's a bad game or anything but, goddamn, when was the last time I actually sat down to play that game?

(At least it's not Ninety Nine Nights, OK?)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You gotta admit that, while they serve a purpose in detailing the universe of Halo, they're still awful books.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So basically, stop being wrong all the time Paco damn.

I'm sorry. Not everyone can write like Dan Brown. MY BAD.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
