    Well done, but boring!

    This is a great game, if it had not been so boring. Some of the levels are quite fun actually, but some of them are awfully boring! Like there are few levels in the military and they're just totally f*cked up, ruined the... Read Full Review

    It's a HELL of a game, but...

    Straight forward action-packed first person shooter with a horrific degree. Similar with Serious Sam, but with less opponents at a time. The end bosses are quite a challenge though... I have played the game till the last... Read Full Review

    Painkiller

    Painkiller is one game worth its price. For the price of $30 you just can't say no to it. GAMEPLAY: Fun, gory, everything a game in its genre should be. If you like shooter games you will like this. Very easy though, ... Read Full Review
