Also over at PC.IGN this afternoon is a review on Metropolis Software House's upcoming third-person Action title, Infernal. Labeling it all flash and little substance, they didn't seem overly thrilled with the game and only gave it a final score of 6.6/10. We'll have to wait and see if other reviews agree. Until then, here's a nugget on the combat and AI:

While, for the most part, you can gun your way through legions of enemies without much trouble, the game keeps engineering unnatural ways to kill you, frustrate you and make you wear out the Quickload key. A couple of these instances, usually boss battles or death traps, are more likely to have you wishing the whole damn thing to hell rather than thoughtfully studying your next move. This is the lack of balance we were bemoaning in the preview and while we were hoping these issues would be redressed, it was never going to happen without pushing back the release date another six months. Ditto for the enemy AI, which still feels anything but intelligent.
