And it's with some glee that Volition has accepted the task of devising one of the most brutal videogames ever - but with a touch of dark humour that allows them to take the gratuitous violence to levels that most developers would never dare cross the line into. Mr Frank Castle is a one man army with a zero tolerance policy for the city's crime lords, and with every fibre in his body he wants to mete out his own special brand of justice to those on the wrong side of the law.

For many arch criminals, the idea of a few months or years in chokey is all part of the deal - but what if you knew that the consequences of your illegal actions would result in you being chucked headfirst into a wood-chipping machine, or fed face down into a Piranha pool? Would you be quite so blasé in your flagrant disregard for the law if you knew Mr Castle was about to pay you a visit and intimately acquaint your face with the nearest kerb? You might have second thoughts at the very least.Īs fans of the Marvel comic will know (we're not sure the new film starring Thomas Jane has 'fans' yet), his deranged methods are driven by a hatred of crime "bordering on insanity" following the murder of his entire family. In Frank Castle's world, wrong do-ers had better watch out.
