Aw. Given the numerous, hysterically awful, and insane promotions they’ve done for the game I was hoping for something spectacularly bad.

Sorry, this does not top them offering hookers as a prize in a promotional contest.

What is Dante’s Inferno? If it is a serious video game take on the famous novel by Dante, I don’t grasp why laughter would be warranted, so I must conclude it’s a “joke” game instead.

It’s a God of War knock off that used the name of the poem and little else.
