I was introduced to a slightly disturbing and very interesting game last week. PAIN for the PS3 has been out a while now but I had never seen it.

The basic concept of the game is to pick one of the many selectable characters, stick them in a catapult and fire them into a large city environment attempting to cause them as much “pain” as possible.

Characters can get hit by buses, trains, take out other people, go through windows or just trigger various explosions. All you have to do is keep their momentum going hoping they get hit by something else!

I think the idea is brilliant and it’s extremely addictive but as you play it, it just seems a little bit wrong and sadistic!
