Great graphics?! Did we play the same game?
Another cool FPS sounded... well, cool, so I tried this one out, although I had not heard much about it. At least not compared to the mammoth FPS releases of 2004, like Half-Life 2, Doom III etc. The back story seems to ... Read Full Review

Decent single player game, non-existant multiplayer. Overall dissapointment
Sometimes there are games that you hear such good things about that they can't just live up to the standards others' have set for them. Then there are other games that no one wants to set standards for. This game, is o... Read Full Review

Highly satisfying fast paced FPS wonder!
Painkiller is a satisfying and violent FPS that shows its old school roots in its simple yet fun gameplay. The gameplay is very fast place and simple, focusing on running around shooting everything that moves, but someho... Read Full Review

Intense action and gameplay, but gets repetitive.
For all of you OG Doom people this is the game for you. Painkiller takes you straight back to some of the OG style FPS games. Its in your face with lots of blood and gore, little story, and fast paced action. Beware, ... Read Full Review

The game isn't smart, but the action sure is.

I liked this game alot, in many ways better than DOOM 3. But..

"Battle out of Hell" alternates between greatness and mediocrity. It's worth playing for the great parts.
"Battle out of Hell” changes up the Painkiller formula a bit and offers 8 new levels and 2 boss battles. Some levels are shorter and smaller than the levels in the original, and they generally have less enemies. The ga... Read Full Review

Worthless Dreck!
I thought this game was absolutely retarded and broken because everything but the graphics is abysmal. I mean the level design is terrible, the AI is pretty much nonexistant and the music they play sounds like it was cre... Read Full Review

Starting where Painkiller left off, it's intensity to the extreme with this enhanced expansion of PCF's old-school FPS.
Back in April, Daniel Garner was involved in a car accident with his wife in which they both ended up dying. From the outskirts of Heaven, he was given a choice to help Heaven out and take out the army that Lucifer was ... Read Full Review
