"There have been so many Painkiller ports, expansions, and semi-sequels in recent years that the series has almost become the gaming equivalent of Steven Segal’s filmography; a long succession of very similar titles that exist simply because ‘the first one’ was good and the creators aren’t quite sure why, deciding to constantly rehash it. Most agree that the original Painkiller was by far the best one, and now Nordic Games themselves seem to realize it, as they and Farm 51 have gone back to pentagram one and remade it in the form of Painkiller: Hell and Damnation. Is it a successful update, or are you going to need a painkiller to endure it? Let’s find out!" (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
Painkiller: Hell & Damnation launched 10 years ago today, and offered a hell of a good time for chaotic FPS fans.
There is currently a reprint circulating around the market. I've only seen on ebay. They claim it's legit. But I've never seen a reprint that cost more than the original so I don't know how true that is.

VRFocus - Over the past few weeks VRFocus‘ Mod of the Week column has delivered a breakdown of how to adapt existing titles for use with the Oculus Rift headset via the Tridef 3D injection driver. Given the wide variety of uses and the fact that a free demonstration version of the driver is available, this has proven very popular amongst our readers. Therefore, today’s Mod of the Week will be now different. The Tridef 3D injection driver will be the catalyst once again, and this time it’s the turn of The Farm 51′s Painkiller: Hell & Damnation.
Never played Painkiller but I feel this whole VR thing is going to be awesome, would love to be able to try one out.
Seriously one of the most underrated and insanely fun FPS titles ever! Great read.
