Hellboy

Konami releases twenty new images of Hellboy, their old-school beat-them'all. After one year of development, let's hope it will at least provide some decent fun.

Let's talk again about Konami's Hellboy ! The Japanese company led slip fourteen screenshots of their action game starring Mike Mignola's red giant. For those who'd like to know, last time we saw it, it was a beat-them'all with on-rail camera, and it didn't look particularly bad.

Konami's Hellboy was at the Barker Hangar, and we captured a short gameplay video for your pleasure. It's definitely more pleasing to the eyes than what I was expecting, but gameplay-wise the game is as generic as it comes for an action game.

With the movie release delayed to late 2008, Hellboy seems to try and sell it by itself all alone later this year. It looks much better than it did at last E3, but is it enough?

Konami released these images of Hellboy, to be released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, plus PSP. The game will be released next year, probably in time for Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy 2 which will be unleashed in the summer.
