Can somebody remind me why I might have downloaded this? I'm sure it must have been pitched to me somewhat effectively already but I really can't remember what made me get it or why I never got around to playing it.

Edit: okay turns out this is the remake that just came out. I'm guessing I acquired this after having watched Ben Croshaw's review of the old one. Or seeing that it was being remade and remebering the old one being something he spoke well of

Painkiller is from 2004, excellent shooter with some unique weapons, mechanics and set pieces.

I think they're referring to the 2025 reboot

are you for real? sure its corny but this looks really good for a 2004 game. why does it feel like Doom and Left 4 Dead had a baby?
