Ben of Xboxer360 writes, "Shooters from days gone by such as Wolfenstein, Doom, Serious Sam and Quake, offered amazing and unique experiences which were fast paced - full throttle all the way. These games held hours of endless joy without having to tackle gritty, Bafta Award winning concepts. This simplicity is something that the Painkiller series has strived to hold true, forget the graphic power held in computers today that rival what NASA used some years back and who cares about the plot really, sometimes I just want to blow stuff up and wreak some havoc on evil incarnate.
The story in Painkiller is simple, Daniel Garner a young man with everything to live for, was involved in a car accident which killed him and his young wife Catherine but while she ascended to heaven, Garner was held back in purgatory. An Angel known as Samael offers him a chance to see his wife, if he can kill four of Lucifer's most trusted generals, and so begins a head-to-head with hell's best and worst."
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.
