There’s always a place in my heart for “Painkiller,” “Serious Sam’s” slightly evolved older brother in the shooting gallery FPS world. So it’s with great pleasure that I just got word a remake of the original 2004 game titled “Painkiller: Hell and Damnation” is making its way to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 31st. There’s going to be a Collector’s Edition with stickers and other stuff you don’t care about, can we just skip the part where I recite all of that? Awesome.
What is interesting, however, is that the remake is running on Unreal 3, so if the team at Nordic keeps their ducks in a row we should have a gorgeous update on our hands. Between that and “Doom 3: BFG Edition,” my cup runneth over with old-school fragfests. Now if only we could see THE ORIGINAL UNREAL TOURNAMENT ON XBLA FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY okay I’m done.
