Exclusive Painkiller screens!

Frantic purgatory-based shoot-'em-up action from the interestingly named People Can Fly. Tell that to John Denver
Shooting monstrously bloated digital depictions of unspeakable evil whilst running frantically hither and yon is one of our favourite ways of spending time (the other being staring listlessly out of a window whilst sipping from a bottle of buckfast, asking ourselves earnestly "where did we take the wrong turn?"). People Can Fly's PC shooter Painkiller lets us do just that, as the inestimable screenshots below will prove.

On the briefest of plays we've already clocked a new improved physics engine, but what really impressed us was the speargun - catch a hapless badguy with this badboy and you can impale him or even pin him to the wall with a satisfying thud. Over 20 levels replete with graphics that even in the oversaturated PC market, we'd happily describe as ace - this looks like a small gem.

Published by Dreamcatcher, Painkiller will be released on PC in 2004 - but we'll strive to bring you an in-depth hands-on playtest and exclusive footage very, very soon.
