Didn't introduce anything new? It's one of the first games released to feature full ragdoll deaths and a physics enabled world for awesome explosions. The stake gun that pins people to walls was also pretty new. And they had humongous bosses... bigger than anything I'd ever seen before in a 3D game... probably only topped by Shadow of Colossus! “While Painkiller definitely wasn’t a smart game, or introduced anything new, it was well done and offered tons of fun for me.”

They make great brainless shooters, as Yahtzee and my own experience can testify, but considering that what we have are a tiny sampling of unnecessary purple prose and some screenshots aping Zeno Clash, I think the intent here (CASH-IN!) is obvious.

That’s the first thing I thought also – maybe they will release the game under the title “Bashes to Bashes”, starring Alice Drake and Sean Punt…

And it's a lot of mindless fun. There's something about impaling people with huge, wooden stakes. And the levels just look gorgeous. Huge cathedrals, medieval villages, snowy bridges, opera houses,... Seeing how this game isn't made by the original developers I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
