True to our word, we've returned with the second string of Video Game Award 2008 videos -- the "B" squad, if you will. It's not that these clips aren't exciting, they're just ... less so. Right after the break check out Dante's Inferno, Watchmen, Terminator Salvation, Mafia II and Fight Night Round 4.
So, what's the verdict? Do these clips have you pumped for 2009? Or are you holding out judgment until you can see a little more gameplay and fewer cinematics?
I'm excited for Dante's Inferno. Only one request, though - DON'T MAKE THE MAIN CHARACTER DANTE. Dante wasn't a warrior, never whooped any ass, and actually spent most of his (obviously) fictional time in Hell scared shitless and confused. Technically, if the game follows the story of someone else taking a similar journey to Dante's, it will still be DANTE'S Inferno - the Inferno he wrote about in his epic comedy.
When I heard that there's a Dante Inferno game, I was skeptical. Now, I am even more [skeptical]. I was hoping for a modest adventure game (even though they are out of vogue), but what I saw was a Diablo clone. Teh sad, they had (have?) so much potential there. Hopefully I'm wrong.
