I felt like being a little dramatic with the title of this post because Dante’s Inferno brings out the poet in me… and as it should. The game is based on ‘The Divine Comedy’ and is riddled with excerpts from the poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. If you haven’t the faintest idea what The Divine Comedy is, that’s OK too, you won’t need to know to be able to enjoy Dante’s Inferno but it helps if you want the full experience.

I can’t yet talk about Dante’s Inferno (it doesn’t release until the first week of February worldwide) in specifics but what I can say is that the storyline and characters are truly out of  this world and if you’re into your character driven games, you’ll love it. It’s set in third person perspective with lots of fighting and bloodshed, especially of the demon-killing kind.

I thought I would post a different image this time instead of a screenshot of the game. This image is taken from the DC comic based on the game released last month in the US on DC’s Wildstorm imprint. There is also a really cool animated movie based on the game releasing in the UK early next month. Created by some of the best animators in the world, Dantes Inferno the movie looks positively fantastic as does the graphic novel.

You can find the official website for the game here, the website for the movie here and the comic details here.

So what are you waiting for? Go to hell why don’t ya
