Second only to falling on his rear in front of colossal beasts, Hellboy is best when he's digging his demonic fist into smaller creatures. Check out these new Hellboy: Science of Evil screens for more punching goodness. Hellboy is coming June 24 on PlayStation 3, PSP and Xbox 360.

Hellboy: The Science of Evil trailer is chock-full of punching

Everyone's favorite stone-fisted, demonic antihero is following in the grand tradition of superhero adaptations -- begin with a cult classic Dark Horse mini-series, follow that up with a film adaptation starring the incredible Ron Perlman, and then continue to make the obligatory licensed action game of uncertain quality, in this case, the oft-delayed Hellboy: The Science of Evil. Our trademark trepidation is somewhat shaken by the above trailer's God of War-esque combat and frequent quips (delivered by Perlman himself, whose impressive video game repertoire includes voice acting roles in the Fallout and Halo series) -- has the ugly duckling we encountered at last year's E3 undergone a much-needed makeover?

Joystiq impressions: Hellboy

Hellboy is a licensed game. And it shows. Published by Konami, the game is developed by Krome Studios, famous for their work on Barbie Beach Vacation and Sunny Garcia Surfing.

Like so many licensed games, Hellboy simply doesn't feel original or engaging. Although designed exclusively for PS3 and Xbox 360, the graphics are mediocre at best. The battle system focuses on Hellboy killing everything in his way. The environment features fairly standard items to pick up and use as weapons, and the battle system is systematically formulaic.

Fans of the franchise will be comforted to know that Mike Mignola does have involvement with the game. However, strictly speaking, the Hellboy game failed to grasp our attention amongst a slew of much more interesting, original, and involving games.

A vampire, gunner, dancer and water drop go fishing by a playground and they spot a vengeful apparition. That just about sums up Konami's announced E3 2007 lineup:
  • Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP; Fall 2007)
  • Contra 4 (DS; 2007)
  • Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party (Wii; Fall 2007)
  • Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2 (PS2; Fall 2007)
  • Dewy's Adventure (Wii; Fall 2007)
  • Fishing Master (Wii; Fall 2007)
  • Hellboy: The Science of Evil (working title) (PS3, Xbox 360, PSP; 2007)
  • Konami Kids Playground (PS2; Fall 2007)
  • Silent Hill Origins (PSP; Fall 2007)
Not listed is Metal Gear Solid 4, but we already know that a new trailer is being debuted at the Sony, Konami keynotes.

Konami's Hellboy to feature film cast

Konami announced today that the actors from the film adaptation of Mike Mignola's Hellboy will reprise their roles in the upcoming Hellboy game from Konami. The press release details that Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones will reprise their roles as Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien respectively. While we certainly can't complain about the gravelly wonder that is Ron Perlman's voice, we're curious about Doug Jones. Hellboy afficionados will know that Abe Sapien was indeed played by Doug Jones but was voiced by Frasier's David Hyde Pierce, who refused to be credited for the film as not to detract from Jones' performance. So, here's the question: who will actually voice Abe Sapien?

We plunge GameTrailers for today's video pick, a Hellboy trailer that makes us tentatively look forward to comic franchises again since the Neversoft Ghost Rider game that never was. Of course it's still just a trailer, and a lot can change before the game is released this summer. But Hellboy looks good, with its 3D engine rendering in a style that fits its comic history.

Judge for yourself after the break.
