Meteor Entertainment, parent company of Adhesive Games and publisher of Hawken, has just been handed $10 million.
Painkiller is a game about frenzy, about being ‘in the zone’ and about bunny-hopping at 100 miles an hour around gothic castles packed with skeletons and cackling witches. It’s a game about violence and speed; the satisfying buzz of a well-executed headshot performed from the hip.
Or, to put it another way, it’s a game about ‘THUNK!‘ That’s the noise it makes when you fire half a pool-cue across the map and it lands, pinning your enemy’s collapsed body to the floor.
THUNK!
