Painkiller

Painkiller. The first game by People Can Fly. Among all the First Person Shooters in the world today (most annyoingly trying to be like halo), this game is one of the most straight foward games, where all you need to do is go from the start to the end, killing everything in your path.

Simple enough to pick up and play straight away.

~~Story~~
-----------

Daniel Garner - Protagonist of the game. Is killed in a freak accident. Sent to purgatory for 30 years. Is visited by Samuel, who offers him a chance to be purified and sent to heaven. Accepts the assassination job to kill the 4 generals of Lucifer's army.

Catherine - Daniel's wife. Is also killed in the same freak accident as Daniel. Awaits Daniel in Heaven.

Lucifer - Lord of the underworld. Planned the assult on Heaven, and sends his army to Purgatory.

Alastor - Lucifer's right hand general. Is impatient and not happy that Lucifer constantly calling off the invasion of Heaven, and takes matters into his own hands.

Really, we're not here for the story, we're here to kill everything. (NOT like Grand Theft Auto, no annoying fetch quests or being chased by police here.)

~~~Gameplay~~~
-------------------

As soon as the first level loads, you're placed in the cemetary, armed with a rotating blade... thing... which can slice through enemies and scatter their body parts (gibbing).

Throughout the game, you find a number of different weapons, including a Rocket launcher cum chaingun, a stake gun and a shotgun. A new interesting weapon included in the game is called the "Electro driver", which shoots out limited ranged explosive shurikens and electricity.

Nothing much to say about gameplay, except kill everything.
