Hellboy: The Science of Evil



As a casual gamer, I tend to be pretty easily impressed. Give me something nice to look at, lots of things to smash and some witty or clever moments and I'm happy. Konami's Hellboy: The Science of Evil does just that.

The game is not as in depth as Grand Theft Auto or Metal Gear and it's nowhere near as terrible as that old PS2 fireworks game. It's just a beat-em up platformer with a ton of familiar characters and environments.

Hellboy is Hellboy and he's fighting through a world with English witches, vicious werewolves and monsters of all shapes and sizes. Overall, the game has a very old school feel. You run around a level, beat the tar out of all manner of mythical beasts and you solve a puzzle or two.

If you're a Hellboy fan, check it out. If not, you've probably seen this before and you really should move on to Katamari or something like that.
