Infernal

Just spent some time with PlayLogic's Infernal, and at 85% complete, it's looking pretty good. The game casts you as Ryan Lennox, a half-man, half-demon intelligence agent formerly working for Heaven's version of the CIA. Having been "fired" for his particularly brutal methods of solving problems, he gets picked up by the other side at a time when the good guys are about to completely wipe out the bad, thus throwing off the balance of the universe. Throw in cliché names like Lucius Black and Professor Wolf, and it starts to sound like any other generic shooter, but the proof is in the pudding ... or in this case, the gameplay.

[...]Rather than overcomplicate the controls, everything is at your fingertips from the start. Double-tap the WASD buttons to do a dive roll in the desired direction, and if you're within arm's reach of the target, clicking the attack button (left mouse) engages in some martial arts fisticuffs. Keep your eyes peeled for things you can use to your advantage, like bad guys who still use exploding cylinders for cover. When will they learn? It may feel average and slow at the start, but once you start unlocking the infernal powers, things get interesting, forcing you to rethink your strategies for battle.

Overall, Infernal seems to borrow the best aspects of several other games and make something a little different in the process. Take the gunplay perspective of Resident Evil 4 combined with the man-devil powers of Devil May Cry and the likeness of a goateed Bryan Fury from Tekken, sprinkle in some Splinter Cell-style imagery and sneakery and a little Max Payne time slowdown, and you're about to what Infernal has to offer. It's certainly worth a look, even at this stage in development.

On the technical side, my Nvidia Geforce 7900GT 256MB was cranking the game out at a solid 100+fps, and it was looking tasty every step of the way. It also has built-in support for the Ageia Physx hardware, for any of you early adopters to the dedicated physics processor bandwagon. However, one thing to be aware of is that the playable preview used StarForce anti-copy technology, which has received a lot of bad press lately and is largely hated by the gaming community for the underhanded way it works. Ubisoft recently caved to user sentiment and dropped support for StarForce, so it'll be interesting to see whether or not PlayLogic sticks with it until the retail release.
