Dante Inferno
Dante's Inferno is very loosely based on the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy. The player controls Dante, a veteran of the Third Crusade, who chases his beloved Beatrice and attempts to free her soul from Lucifer, who needs to wed a heaven-bound soul to break free of Hell and make another attempt to take over the Throne of God. As his pursuit takes him through the monstrous entities within the nine Circles of Hell to save Beatrice, Dante must face his own sins, his family's past and his war crimes.

I don't know about you guys but a game that directly takes me into hell to battle the 9 rings of hell to free my beloved seems and sounds like a game that would crash off the shelves as a #1 game somewhere. Even though I haven't played the game yet I've played it a bit at a friends and watched videos on you tube and if you like gore, religious lore(not the pushy kind the gruesome kind
), and to play as a crusader with a giant scythe as a weapon this is your game.
Even talk of a movie.
So far the game as received favorable rating having been praised for its unique setting, art, and level design. Though criticizing have said that it is a little similar to the game God of War.
Some videos of the game play (Spoilers

Dante's Inferno has been optioned by Universal Pictures. The screenwriter for the film version remains unknown.
Film Roman, the Starz Entertainment unit behind Dead Space: Downfall will release an animated direct-to-DVD version of the story that is set to be released simultaneously with the video game.[12] The only known detail about the Dante's Inferno project is that separate anime studios are being tapped to create visuals of the nine levels of the Inferno. Starz Entertainment is looking to sell both animated films to international TV buyers at the MIP market.[13] The animation studios that participated in the making of Dante's Inferno in order are Film Roman, Manglobe, Dong Woo, JM Animation, and Production I.G. The released movie shows a difference in storyline and has been divided into four different styles.
