THQ is giving Evil Dead fans some sugar with Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick.
Dateline: Dearborn, Michigan, today. When the infamous tape recording of incantations from the Necronomicon ex Mortis tome is played on live TV, demons rise from the bowels of Hell in Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick, an all-new adventure based on the horror film trilogy. Again it falls on the reluctant hero?ex-S-Mart clerk Ash?to stem the tide of cackling deadites by blasting, immolating, dismembering, and decapitating them with shotguns, dynamite, and, of course, his trusted chainsaw. The preview build of Fistful showcased enough action and gore to sate fans of the films; Ash could bust out killer attack combos and even shoot encroaching ghouls from behind the shoulder. The graphics, however, were blocky and cartoonish, which looked odd given the game's macabre nature. Hopefully, they?re still in progress.
