Electronic Arts rarely ventures outside the comfort zone of its existing stable of popular franchises and yearly sports sequels, but from time to time we get some truly unique games like Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, and this month's release of the much anticipated and heavily hyped Dante's Inferno. It's become commonplace for videogames to tap into movies and other modern pop-culture for their inspiration, but basing a game on a 14th century poem could be a first. Elements of the original story, location, and even characters were liberally borrowed and conformed to fit with this updated, twisted, and sinister action-combat game that will leave you feeling a bit uncomfortable at times. After all, what was the last game that rewarded you for killing babies?
Conflicting Gamers - "Dante’s Inferno was a much hyped game in the weeks before it was to be released. Too bad it didn’t QUITE live up to that hype, however, many gamers still feel there is fun to be had here. Now, for a limited time, you can pick up a copy of the PS3 version of Dante’s Inferno: Divine Edition for the same price as the ‘Regular Version’"
I had the mispleasure of playing this AFTER Gow3.
Still a fun game, but its like going from driving a ferrari to a prius.

I can get Battlefield 2 for under $20...seriously???
EDIT: nevermind, these prices are after the discount
lol when this was first discovered Bad Company 2 was at $39 making it $19.99 after this discount. It must have been flying digitally for them to mark the price back up.
Dragon Age Origins and Dante's Inferno were both 39.99 for the past couple days so people we grabbing them for 21$ shipped.
EA wised up and raised the prices back to normal. I didn't have funds in my account so I missed out =/
EA's Dante's Inferno is an epic descent through Dante Alighieri's nine circles of hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. At a blazing-fast 60 frames per second, each circle features unique environments, all new creatures, terrifying demons, story elements and are scored distinctly to set a tone that fits each circle of sinners.
