Dante's Inferno gets a new cover

[phil_]

I just read the Wikipedia article for Equilibrium and it sounds like an awesome movie as long as you shut off your brain and enjoy the gunfights and the "Viva la Revolution!"

As for this cover, I'm just shaking my head at it like I've been doing at this whole game since the start.

Pyros watched a nice modern version of Dante's Inferno that used handdrawn paper puppets that was amazing in execution and pretty funny.

I look at this and feel sick, yet if it will get some people reading old classics, maybe it's for the best? Maybe?

Oh fair Beatrice, send a guide to lead me through this hellish abyss!

I actually can't wait for the game based on The Canterbury Tales where you play as the Host and are forced to battle through each person's "story", actually a blood-soaked level of mayhem with the pilgrim at the end of it. Thrill to the Pardoner's Tale, wherein you face death himself and the trio of doom, armed with sharp knives and belching poison "wine", really radioactive blood! Gude the Host through the Wife of Bath's tale and escape the clutch of the succubi! Can you guide the red-hot poker to scar the bard's ass and sail across the sea of blood in the innkeeper's tub to finally take on the Miller? It's a no-holds barred action-packed tale of woe!

And after you've played through the Canterbury Tales, buy this all-new edition which shows you how our creative team adapted it to video-game form through the addition of SIXTEEN, count 'em, SIXTEEN illustrations. Boo-yah!

I can usually shut off my brain to enjoy a movie, but Equilibrium demands that you turn off physics altogether. I find nothing enjoyable about gunfights where one guy consistently makes it unscathed because he's able to stand where he's statistically "least likely" to be hit. Dude, there's fifteen thousand bullets going in your general direction, statistically you're kind of screwed.

But I do love the part where he gets off the meds and feels for the first time in his life. At that point the movie reminds me of Youtsuba&!

Now what were we talking about again?

Wait... so basically nobody actually aims?

Not to keep beating the nail's head saying "But it's not at all like the original poem!" but I think it would've worked quite well if it was in the form of a point and click adventure game. Heck it could've been made more modern so the people you encounter give it a new twist and it could have a ridiculous amount of black humour in it.

Can you imagine if this game sells well and they try to make games for the other parts of the Divine Comedy?
