PRISON IS HELL
Tired of playing horror games where you run around and try to solve puzzles, all the while even though you chopping up monsters with sickles you’re still the ‘good guy’? Very tired. Thankfully Midway games has heard the cries and have developed The Suffering, a game that puts you in the shoes of the psycho, to get a first hand look what it’s like to be filled with murderous rage. In a game…
You play as a man named Torque, imprisoned for murder and sentenced to the electric chair. Just when he thinks it’s all over for him, he gets a second chance when the spirits of those dead convicts rise up and overrun the prison, and Torque is left to his own devices in order to escape.
He’s subject to periods of blacking out, during which he becomes a monstrous beast that is able to kill anything in it’s path, but even when he’s normal he’s certainly not a nice guy. Evil creatures, other inmates, and surly security guards all pop up to try and keep the man down, but him being crazy and all, their efforts prove to fruitless.
The Suffering is due out in February for all three platforms from Midway Games, but you can still pre-order it through EVILSHOP to make sure you get yourself one. Check out Midway’s official site for more info on The Suffering, including video and screen shots. Looks to be just the amount of evil I was looking for!
