"Okay. I understand that the Dante's Inferno videogame has very little to do
with the classic literature. As a English lit nerd, I don't like it, but I
understand it. So rather than bitch about that, I'll bitch about how Dante's
Inferno looks like hell's biggest God of War rip-off. Okay, there are certainly
worse games to rip off, but I swear Dante has the exact same attacks as Kratos,
except when the swishes stop, he's holding a scythe instead of Kratos'
ridiculous yo-yo blades......oh.You're probably more upset about the giant lady
who shoots demon babies out of her nipples or the other evil lady with the
vagina on her stomach with its own hideous tongue tentacle, aren't you? Yeah,
those are bad too."--http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/10/dantes_inferno_game_has_shaky_understanding_of_lus.php

I've been very surprised how much negative press I've seen about this game; I've always thought it was a fairly good premise and an interesting setting. Who knew that there were that many people that really love Dante. "--http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/10/dantes_inferno_game_has_shaky_understanding_of_lus.php

I don't like this too much, either. My main reason: I *am* an English teacher, and I am now terrified about what I will see and hear in papers, discussions, and projects when we do Dante's Inferno. Not to mention the angry parents who think I'm talking about this game because they too did less than stellar in their English classes.Do all the crazy alien fantasy games/characters you want, but just stay away from our literature.
