Did I mention that the Painkiller Alpha is in the wild?

If not, sorry I meant to. I posted up a bit about it last night, but I woke to find out that Hanners had made it into a full-blown front page story. (I know EB has a front page, but only 'cause I get to play with it.

)

.nfo from the leak:

of painkiller, the much anticipated shooter. this build is
labeled a pre-alpha and serves as first look build for very
few chosen magazines. it contains 3 singeplayer and 2 multiplayer
maps, of course fully playable, no ****ed **** like HL2 leak...

heh, dosent suprize me after they sent it to so many review sites/mags that it leaked.

Wow, this game is fun. Mindless shooting at its best. There's no music in this (well, I didn't hear any), but I just played some rock in the backround and thay fixed that problem. I love that effect that turns on when you go into some kind of super-pwn-everything-in-your-way-with-psychic-powers mode.

/me wants this game to come out.
