Seems like I'm having a knack for finding modern references to classic literature this week. Here we see that EA is developing a game based off of Dante's Divine Comedy, most notably Inferno. The trailer does not impress me, but I will take into consideration that its a teaser trailer and the game is probably not very far into development at this point in time.

Regardless, Inferno is one of my favorite books of all time and I'm excited about the possibility of a game that will allow me to fight my way through the nine circles of Hell. This isn't a new idea, of course (Doom, Painkiller, Dungeons and Dragons, the list goes on), but this is the first time someone is saying, "This is Dante's Inferno." rather than making up their own storyline using his premise of battling your way through Hell.
