Painkiller: Hell and Damnation Hits on Halloween

New screens and a sexy collector’s edition herald the impending arrival of Painkiller: Hell and Damnation.

So you’ve heard good things about Painkiller but just can’t bring yourself to bother with a shooter that’s been kicking around for the better part of a decade. Fair enough. Perhaps you might be interested in Painkiller: Hell and Damnation, a hi-def overhaul that brings the game up to date for current PCs and consoles.

Painkiller: Hell and Damnation will be released in both a standard edition and, for fans and gamers with an extra sawbuck to spare, a nicely packed Collector’s Edition that will include stickers, “postcards from Hell,” an art book, a couple of posters, a ten-track soundtrack CD, a making-of DVD, a special in-game tarot card and an exclusive multiplayer skin. Both editions of the game include all the murderous action of the original Painkiller plus the very solid Battle Out of Hell expansion.

And now, some screens!

The “uncut” version of Painkiller: Hell and Damnation comes out for the PC on October 31, while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, as well as a “toned-down” PC edition, will be available on January 22, 2013. To find out more, hit up painkillergame.com.
