Although more than three years have passed since Painkiller first shot up hard drives, this deeply unfashionable shooter series hasn't done any growing up since 2004. And thank the gods for that. Not too many developers are bothering with old-school shooters anymore, so it's a real pleasure to blast through such a gleefully stupid stand-alone expansion pack like Painkiller: Overdose. All of the design attributes that made the original game as subtle as blunt-force trauma are back for more, including monsters that seem to have escaped from an Iron Maiden album cover, as well as slice-and-dice weapons that wouldn't be out of place in a torture chamber. Only some technical difficulties and the nagging sense of déjà vu interfere with the bloody good time on offer here.
"The Painkiller Complete Pack is 70% off a GamersGate, taking it’s price down to £5.40!
The pack contains:
-Painkiller Black Edition
-Painkiller Overdose
-Painkiller: Resurrection
-Painkiller Redemption"
Join forces with Daniel Garner and Belial once again to vanquish hordes of monsters in the never-ending battle between Good and Evil. The brand-new add-on, called Painkiller: Redemption, will be released on February 25th, 2011 as a downloadable game, and promises few hours of fun and engaging gameplay.
Once People Can Fly left this franchise, it became stale and developed by nearly anyone willing to make more levels for the game that should of stayed as mods. That's great for community and publisher, but the problem is, any game after Battle Out Of Hell is pretty diabolical and full of bugs also, you never play as Daniel.
Charismatic stallion Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw skyrocketed to fame with his hilariously degrading reviews of some of the most industry's most popular games, which tend to unknowingly provide him crappy gameplay joke material. NewTeeVee, intrigued by the Yahtzee's popularity, studied sales data for both Painkiller and Xbox Live Arcade's Braid, two titles reviewed positively by Yahtzee, to see if his videos affected game sales.
"I don't see any real case for Zero Punctuation increasing sales by a lot," stated Braid creator Jonathan Blow on the lack of a Yahtzee-created increase in sales of his downloadable game. "There definitely isn't a visible sales spike or anything like that."
I hope not. At first he was funny but now it seems like he's trying to hate every game as much as he can and talk only about the bad stuff.
I think it's ok to do this with games like MoH or Turok or Heavenly Sword or Army of Two, but hating on games like MGS4 is just wrong
i thought he was doing that from day one. the guy doesnt enjoy games, why play them?, more importantly, why review them?
Well... yeah you're right, actually.
The only games he didn't hate were Half-Life 2, SotC and Bioshock. They're great games, absolutely great, but his hatred towards ANYTHING ELSE is getting annoying
you might as well ask does bad reviews of wii music affect the game sales also.
personally no.
just because it is for entertainment, and is really really awesome.
and it makes it even better when you own or have played the game ha
he is actually..
incredible.
anybody who takes it as anything more than a funny negative opinion,
is a c*nt.
wow, almost as good as Ratchet & Clank.
