Painkiller: Overdose demo out now

Prequel to the stake-powered FPS now available for tryout
You can now download a 730MB Painkiller: Overdose demo which features two single-player and two multiplayer maps from the PC FPS.

Overdose actually began life as a mod, but has turned into a full retail product.

It acts as a prequel to the original shooter from People Can Fly, and promises to deliver the same frantic gameplay we saw the first time around - but with a number of new bells and whistles attached.

Download the demo here.

I know a lot of people dislike the PK games, but for my money they've been the best pure shooters of the new millenium, and rightful inheritors of the Doom/Quake crown, much more so than the Serious Sam line, as good as that is.

I only found out about this last week, and it doesn't look to bad, I'll get the demo and give it a go, thanks for the info.

I really liked the original Painkiller. It was a no-nonsence, no brains shooter that didn't require you to think or solve mind bending puzzles, just to have a fun time blasting away all those horrible monsters!

I will defintily give the new demo a go, but I do hope they've upgraded the engine a bit. It was good a few years ago, but will be showing its age today. Still, even if they havn't I bet its just as much fun to play as the original.

I doubt you'll be disappointed. This demo is really good fun. Very Happy Even more so, because you've got access to around eight different weapons, all of which are really cool to use. I didn't expect it to be as good as I found it to be, but I can see myself having a lot of fun with the full release - and I was only playing on Normal difficulty.
