EA has declared that Dante's Inferno - the game of the poem of the mythical location will be coming to (as a free download) to PlayStation Network on December 10 and on Xbox Live on December 24.
December 24th? Is anybody going to be playing video games on December 24th? To the forum please.
"The ‘Gates of Hell’ demo includes the entire opening level and gives gamers a taste of the terrifying odyssey to come in the Nine Circles of Hell as depicted in the full game."
"In the demo of Dante’s Inferno, players are introduced to Dante Alighieri’s re-imagined past as a crusader who returns home to Florence to discover his true love, Beatrice, murdered". As her soul escapes her body, she is kidnapped by the dark shadow form of Lucifer. Sworn to her rescue, Dante must journey to the Gates of Hell and beyond to battle undead monstrosities, unholy boss demons, and Death himself. Offering a glimpse into the vast world of Dante’s Inferno, the demo serves as a prelude to the player’s perilous journey to the inner bowels of hell."
So, bit of a rewrite of the source material there. No matter though, as Visceral's Jonathan Knight has already pointed out, one of the key works of Western literature is "quite clearly is a crazy fantasy. That's what we focus on for the game".
Full game is out on February 5.”

I may play a bit during the day, depending when I get up, but mostly if all goes to plan I will be out getting pissed.
