Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition is one of the more obscure new games coming out, but it's certainly interesting. Its medieval setting and quasi-religious tone gives it a very unique premise, and today we've been introduced to the game's main character, Godric of Glastonbury.
Godric is a Dominican knight, dedicated to the Pope and determined to rid the world of evil, following a traumatic event in his youth. A skilled sword fighter, he learns the ways of exorcism and joins the inquisition, ready to battle heretics, demons and any other blasphemy that decides to take him on.
Hellion has potential to be a very memorable game indeed. We really need to see some gameplay however, in order to seal the deal.
Frankfurt, Germany / Gdynia, Poland, June 09th 2009 – As the satanic brood turns the world into chaos, today Flying Fish Works announces the main character for their upcoming product “Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition”. “Godric of Glastonbury”, a European sword master full of honor and devotion to the Holy Roman Church, is a religious servant during the unpromising resistance against the inconceivable evil.

No thanks. I think I'll just take my fair dose of religious murder in the form of Assassin's Creed 2. But I will play this game. Because I do love me some killing of some demons.
Seems in the last few years we've had games on Classical and Norse mythology, between this and Dante's Inferno, it looks like we'll be gaming-up Christian mythology as the new backdrop for hack'n'slash.
Can anyone please tell me what's so goddamned special about FPSs, that everyone seems to be making them these days?
