When your video game is all about the evils that will land you in hell, expect controversies and uproar left and right. This is true for Electronic Arts' video game interpretation of the Divine Comedy, Dante's Inferno (PS3, PSP, Xbox 360). Their latest predicament involves a nanny group not being so happy about the game's "Bad Nanny" achievement.

Visceral Games has released yet another dev diary of their upcoming third-person hack and slash game Dante's Inferno (PS3, PSP, and Xbox 360). This time, the game's Executive Producer Jonathan Knight talks about the second circle of hell and what would probably be the most controversial level of the game, Lust. Warning: epic bare-breasted boss after the jump.

Visceral Games has released a new developer diary of Dante's Inferno (PS3, PSP, and Xbox 360). This time, the developers discusses the fifth circle of hell, anger. Check out how Dante incorporates the anger level to dish out some intense violence and rage. And don't forget the awesome weapons of the game.

I never imagined that if a video game was made out of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, it would look so much like a Greek mythology-based game that we all know. Comparisons aside, Electronic Arts still managed to craft some impressive detail into Dante's Inferno (PS3, PSP, and Xbox 360), although it's admittedly hard to get over the similarities to that other game.

Your trip to hell's been dated. During the Electronic Arts conference at the currently ongoing GamesCom event in Cologne, the North American and European launch dates for Visceral Games' Dante's Inferno were finally announced.

If you're working on a game that highlights the nine circles of hell, you may very well expect debauchery to ensue, at least as far as the storyline or gameplay will go. But having said that, it does not necessarily follow that you'll have a free pass here on Earth when marketing such said game. Electronic Arts should have probably known that from the onset, but I guess they were busy getting all excited about sinning to win. Their newest marketing ploy for Dante's Inferno (PS3, PSP, Xbox 360) launched at the Comic-Con was quite a controversial one, requiring them to make an apology to the offended public.

A couple of guys at our comments section called it yesterday (ie. NarooN and buttheadrulesagain). Amidst the heated discussion about heaven and hell and everything in between, and the protest that happened outside of the E3 event against EA and Dante's Inferno (Xbox 360, PSP, PS3), they said that the rally was just a [crappy] viral marketing campaign.

Not everyone who came to the E3 2009 Expo went there to enjoy the games being displayed. A religious group going by the name Salvationists Against Virtual and Eternal Damnation staged a protest outside the LA Convention Center to make it be known that they do not think Electronic Arts' video game adaptation of the classic Dante's Inferno is classy at all.

The PSP version of Dante's Inferno is one of the bigger action titles slated for the Sony handheld next year, and Electronic Arts and Artificial Mind and Movement are planning to bring everything that Dante can do in the console versions to the PSP. It's a lofty undertaking, but it looks like the Dante's Inferno team is really dedicated to scoring a lot of points with the action-adventure crowd with this game. Learn about what they gave in store for PSP gamers in this video interview with senior producer Justin Lambros.

Here's some interesting teaser for the upcoming third-person action adventure game Dante’s Inferno (Xbox 360, PSP, PS3) courtesy of Visceral and Electronic Arts. The trailer, called Lust and Heresy, is just a sneak peek for an even larger trailer hitting the web on June 1. Hopefully we can see some gameplay action then. Watch the trailer after the jump.
