   Evil Dead: A 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.
