So, not to sound like a giant literature nerd (because to be honest, I slept through most of AP English), but one of the few assigned works I actually read was Dante’s Inferno. Yes, it’s a bit wordy, but I’ve always found the overall concept to be kind of interesting—a middle-aged man possibly contemplating suicide journeys through the circles of hell and sees all kinds of effed-up stuff (let’s call that the Cliffs Notes version). Therefore, I’m intrigued by the possibility of an Inferno-based video game, which, as it turns out, is currently being developed by EA.

According to Variety, the game will be a modern retelling of the classic and is due out in late 2009, and almost nothing is known about the game right now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this could turn out to be one of the worst ideas ever, but between Dead Space and Mirror’s Edge, I’m willing to hear more about what EA has to offer. Whoa, who ever thought I’d be saying that?
