EA has given an advance look at the Dante's Inferno television commercial due to be shown during the Super Bowl on Sunday, revealing a somewhat different approach to marketing Visceral Games' blood-soaked adaptation of the revered epic poem.

"You have to fight these guys, right here and right now," developer Visceral Games says of Fraud, the eighth circle of hell, in this trailer for its poetic beat 'em up Dante's Inferno.

"[It's] like a high school reunion, except you get to cut everyone's heads off."

Thing is, they're talking about fraud. Can we trust them? Is it actually the hardest circle in the game, or is this a clever ruse to hide a level filled with rainbows and unicorns? Read more »
