Hunted: The Demon's Forge video - Design your own dungeon and slaughter your friends in The Crucible

Publisher Bethesda's upcoming hack 'em-up Hunted: The Demon's Forge could be a real treat. It looks lush, it's got a nice sort of "Gears of War in loincloths" feel to it, and the two characters play very distinctly from one another. And best of all, once you've head-chopped your way through the main storyline, you can keep satisfying your urge to cleave flesh from bone with The Crucible. It's a dungeon creator with a slick, easy-to-use interface and just enough depth - you can quickly make your own murderbox just the way you like it, but without having to worry about minutiae like how many torches to put on the wall or where the pile of skulls should go. Then, you can either play it yourself, bring a friend into your custom-crafted nightmare, or upload it for the world to suffer through. I mean, enjoy. I am totally not thinking of this assome sort ofsadistic fantasy fulfillment...

I was the founding Executive Editor/Editor in Chief here at GR, charged with making sure we published great stories every day without burning down the building or getting sued. Which isn't nearly as easy as you might imagine. I don't work for GR any longer, but I still come here - why wouldn't I? It's awesome. I'm a fairly average person who has nursed an above average love of video games since I first played Pong just over 30 years ago. I entered the games journalism world as a freelancer and have since been on staff at the magazines Next Generation and PSM before coming over to GamesRadar. Outside of gaming, I also love music (especially classic metal and hard rock), my lovely wife, my pet pig Bacon, Japanese monster movies, and my dented, now dearly departed '89 Ranger pickup truck. I pray sincerely. I cheer for the Bears, Bulls, and White Sox. And behind Tyler Nagata, I am probably the GR staffer least likely to get arrested... again.
