Painkiller’s gameplay will be familiar to anyone who grew up on Doom and Quake. You go from room to gruesome room committing mass murder against all manner of wacky demons, witches, ghosts, skeletons and other spooky shit. The range on offer is at least varied, although never seems to break the standard hell/demon/monster mode that often.
The weapons are the real stars here. You begin with a beastly shotgun as your basic weapon and it only goes up from there. A vicious spinning mêlée claw thing, a stake launcher and a rocket laucher/mini-gun combo are just a few of the tools on offer, and they all allow you to mulch through the waves and waves of enemies with immense enjoyment. There’s always a plentiful supply of ammo as well.
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.
