Game: Dante's Inferno
Platform: PS3
Developer: Visceral Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts

If you were to imagine a developer trying to come up with a new idea for a video game, you probably would not place a 14th century poem high up on the list of subject matter. Yet that's exactly what the minds behind last year's Dead Space have done; although they have taken a few liberties with the source material. Whilst I have never read 'The Divine Comedy', I do not think there is a section in which Dante hacks The Grim Reaper to pieces, takes his Scythe, and uses it to destroy the legions of hell... With a massive red cross sewn in to the flesh of his chest.

Left 4 Dead DLC Impressions

crashcourseNAME: Left 4 Dead DLC: Crash Course

FORMAT(S): PC, Xbox 360

DEVELOPER: Valve

PUBLISHER: Valve

Valve have just released a new DLC pack for Left 4 Dead called Crash Course. This adds a new campaign designed for versus mode (but fully playable in campaign mode) and 2 associated survival maps based off the new campaign. Being quite a big fan of Left 4 Dead myself I took a look at the DLC to give my own honest impressions. The new campaign is about half the length of the standard campaigns that shipped with the game, however it is split into 2 sections each of which seems longer than a single section from a standard campaign.
