What might be already one of the most anticipated games of 2010, Dante's Inferno might just be one "hell" of a ride for gamers. Fans of God of War and Devil May Cry may know what we're talking about here.

It doesn't sound like the most obvious candidate for a videogame adaptation but Visceral Games is on to something with Dante's Inferno. Even though Alighieri's celebrated poem doesn't quite match up with what Visceral Games is working on, its inspiration is more than apparent. Dante returns home to find that his love Beatrice has been murdered. Arriving in time to witness Death drag his slain lover into Hell, Dante chases Death, steals his scythe, and begins his journey to free her soul—intending to scour all of Hell for her, confronting Satan himself if need be.
