I just watched the first trailer for EA’s upcoming Dante’s Inferno, which you may also consume right here.

As far as cinematics that reveal no trace of actual gameplay go, it’s not bad. Heck, it may even turn out to be a fun game. But make no mistake: taking Dante Alighieri’s poem about sin and penitence and turning it into what appears to be a testosterone-thick slasher romp is an act of unbelievable vulgarity. Whose idea was this, and how do they plan to follow it up? Mona Lisa: Death Smile?
