Oct 31, 2007 Theres a grand, almost royal disappointment lurking at the heart of Hellgate. Its a disappointment wrought from the strange collage of game styles its inspired by. Its both a fast-paced first-person shooter recalling Half-Life and Call of Duty, and a simple action-RPG like Diablo. On paper this could, and should, be one of the great addictive pleasures of our time - an engrossing treadmill of leveling up and upgrading your weapons, skills and items, mixed with the violence and ...

We dive into the depths of London once again
Jul 11, 2007
Everybody wants Diablo III... but they're not going to get it. Fortunately, Hellgate: London continues to shape up to be an appealing alternative. Though the game plunks you down into London's grim future, the mixture of knight-like Templars and other updated fantasy warriors gives the game an instantly understandable hack and slash style. That, and London's sewers don't look a million miles away from ...   » Read Full Hellgate: London preview
Hellgate: London - updated impressions
New Guardian and Blademaster classes slice their way to the frontlines
Mar 9, 2007
With deep role-playing elements and fast-paced first-person shooter goodness, Hellgate: London keeps looking better and bloodier. Today we got our first look at the Guardians and Blademasters, two never-before-seen classes from the Templar faction. Although both classes excel at up-close combat with melee weapons, they play quite differently. The tough-as-nails Guardians are the most defense oriented class in the game. They excel at soaking up damage and drawing the attention of surrounding ...   » Read Full Hellgate: London preview

If there was any doubt that Hellgate: London will be dark in both its setting and its offbeat humor, its lost as soon as you begin playing. The search for a kids missing appendage took me from Covent Garden tube station, through randomly generated tube tunnels and desolate London streets, on to a final encounter with a 15ft hulking mass of flesh. Exactly why he'd jack the leg of a kid remains a mystery to us, but Lil Timmy promised hed give me the stump of wood (an entry-level melee weapon) he ...   » Read Full Hellgate: London preview

It's rare that the best games are totally original. More likely, the developers take a bunch of elements that they know everyone likes, mix them together vigorously, slap on a coat of polish and send it out. Leveling up characters, learning abilities... fighting monsters in dungeons... shooting from the first person... Hell invading Earth. Taken together these ideas are all typical. Hellgate: London, however, is set to blend them with such panache that the result will be a delicious Satanic ...   » Read Full Hellgate: London preview

Hope you like your bangers and mash well done

There is nothing we like more than being consumed by a role-playing game ... or a first person shooter ... or the flames of Hell. Give us one game that does all three, and we surrender. Melding the genres of RPG and FPS, Hellgate places you into a nightmarish future in which the flame-scarred surface of Earth has been overrun by demons. You play one of the last human survivors, the Templar. And guess whose job it is to venture from the safety of the underground sanctuary to see how many demons ...   » Read Full Hellgate: London preview
