-> HTTP 404 Error, this morning as well as right now.
Is ordering for the PC a no-go in the meantime?

Painkiller was reasonably fun as far as I got in it, but it exhausts almost all of its tricks in the first third of the game – the incredibly over-the-top weapons, giant bosses and occasionally unusual artistic direction are all worth experiencing, but like a straight-to-video action movie, they exhaust your interest far too quickly. The tarot-card-based-choose-your-buffs mechanism is actually reasonably interesting, but it feels a little out of place compared to the very Doom/Duke feeling of the rest of it.
(And the cutscenes are abominable in every single sense.)

But, no, I'd not spring for the sequels, since they were fairly awful. (And I'd take Serious Sam over the original, if I had to choose – Sam has a sense of humour.)

I might get this, I remember playing the original when it came out and enjoying the stake gun and the lightning thingy, but I just won’t play it. I’m only playing Torchlight at the moment. After that I’ve got £3.50 STALKER to try (for the first time!), then I’ll get DA:O, which may or may not keep me going until The Old Republic comes out.

I’m afraid I don’t like Painkiller. I’m all for old-school FPS shooty fun, blasting and blasting ’till my blaster is sore, but only if it’s well-done. Painkiller’s combat was good, but its level design was atrocious for such a game. It rapidly became formulaic, each level a series of arena fights connected by empty passageways. This was not helped by the nearly nonexistent signposting between some arenas, causing me to spend twenty minutes jumping around trying doors or attempting to leap off a handrail through a window in between fights.

No luck for me in getting the code to work either.

The original Painkiller is old school FPS shooty fun. Good stuff.

I was thinking that. Alternatively, depending on peoples countries the box copy might be worth a look. For UK folks like me Play.com list a third party seller in there marketplace selling Universe boxed for £7.99.

I enjoyed Painkiller lots, but that trailer above is AWFUL. Most of the big wibbly headings are apt, but they’re followed by absolutely cruddy attempts at justifying them compared to what could have been shown. There must be better ones available.

By six levels, do you mean the actual maps themselves, or the zones?

Like Senethro said, you don’t want Painkiller Resurrection. AVOID it like the plague.

Already bought the original Painkiller from gog.com at a weekend deal.

It’s a fun game. Lots of enemies come in. You impale them. Repeat.

Especially the decors are fun. A madhouse, cathedral, opera house,… None of it makes sense but it sure is fun.
