Oroya fever or Carrion's Disease is an infectious disease produced by Bartonella bacilliformis infection.
It is named for Daniel Alcides Carrión.[1]
Carrion's disease has been known since Pre-Inca times. Numerous artistic representations in clay (called "huacos") of the chronic phase have been found in endemic areas. The Spanish chronist, Garcilazo De La Vega described a disease with warts in Spanish troops during the conquest of Inca Empire, in Coaque-Ecuador. For a long time it was thought that the disease was endemic only in Peru and that it had only one phase, the "Peruvian wart" or "verruga peruana"[2]
In 1875 an outbreak, characterized by fever and anemia occurred in the region of construction of the railroad line between Lima and Oroya.[3] This is the source of the name "oroya fever" sometimes used to describe acute bartonellosis.[4]
In August 1885, Daniel Alcides Carrión, a Peruvian medical student, attempted to inoculate himself with material taken from a verruga lesion of a chronic patient (Carmen Paredes), with the help of a local physician (Evaristo Chavez). After 3 weeks he developed classic symptoms of the acute phase of the disease, thus establishing a common etiology (cause) for these two diseases.[5] He died from bartonellosis on October 5, 1885 and was recognized as a martyr of Peruvian medicine and the term Carrión's Disease was used until our times (Peruvian Medicine Day is October 5 in honor to him).
Alberto Barton, a Peruvian microbiologist, identified Bartonella bacilliformis within erythrocytes in 1905, an announced the discovery of the etiologic agent (Barton bacillus) in 1909, which was called Bartonella bacilliformis.
It is caused by Bartonella bacilliformis.[6]
Carrion's disease is found only in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.[7] It is endemic in some areas of Peru and is caused by infection with the bacterium Bartonella bacilliformis and transmitted by sandflies of genus Lutzomyia.[8]
The clinical symptoms of bartonellosis are pleomorphic and some patients from endemic areas may be asymptomatic. The two classical clinical presentations are the acute phase and the chronic phase, corresponding to the two different host cell types invaded by the bacterium (red blood cells and endothelial cells).
Acute phase: (Carrion's disease) the most common findings are fever (usually sustained, but with temperature no greater than 102°F (39°C)), pallor, malaise, nonpainful hepatomegaly, jaundice, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly. This phase is characterized by severe hemolytic anemia and transient immunosuppression. The case fatality ratios of untreated patients exceeded 40% but reach around 90% when opportunistic infection with Salmonella spp occurs. In a recent study the attack rate was 13.8% (123 cases) and the case-fatality rate was 0.7%.
Chronic phase: (Verruga Peruana or Peruvian Wart) it is characterized by an eruptive phase, in which the patients develop a cutaneus rash produced by a proliferation of endothelial cells and is known as "Peruvian warts" or "verruga peruana". Depending of the size and characteristics of the lesions, there are three types: miliary (1–4 mm), nodular or subdermic and mular (>5mm). Miliary lesions are the most common.
The most common findings are bleeding of verrugas, fever, malaise, arthralgias, anorexia, myalgias, pallor, lymphadeopathy, and hepato-splenomegaly.
Diagnosis during the acute phase can be made by obtaining a peripheral blood smear with Giemsa stain, Columbia-blood agar cultures, immunoblot, IFI, and PCR. Diagnosis during the chronic phase can be made using a Warthin-Starry stain of wart biopsy, PCR, and immunoblot.
The drug of choice during the acute phase is Quinolones (such as ciprofloxacin)[9] or Chloramphenicol in adults and Chloramphenicol plus beta lactams in children.
For the chronic phase, Rifampin or macrolides are used to treat both adults and children.

Best Celebrity Chef
Why is Sean Kelly Denver's best celebrity chef? For doing what a chef was born to do: cook. After closing Aubergine and the Biscuit, Kelly could have done just about anything. By his own admission, there were people lining up, just waiting to throw bags of money at him. But for reasons of his own, rather than taking the devil's bargain and becoming one of those pressed-chef-coat clipboard-checkers and wrangling for a spot on the Food Network, he turned back to his roots and back to doing what he loved best. So now when you come to Clair de Lune, it's Sean Kelly who's cooking your dinner -- not Sean Kelly's sous chef or Sean Kelly's line cooks. For that, this year's Gold Chef Knife goes to you, Sean.

BEAU RIVAGE, Geneva
Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni could not have chosen a more pristine murder spot than Geneva's white-wedding-cake Beau Rivage Hotel (see slideshow). On September 10, 1898, Empress Elizabeth of Austria was leaving the hotel to catch a boat on Lake Geneva when Lucheni repeatedly stabbed her with a file that penetrated her heart and lungs. When aid was administered, the empress did not allow her corset to be undone until she had reached the relative privacy of the boat; when the stays came off, she was revealed to be bleeding to death. The assassination gave Geneva's reputation for pampering the rich and famous an extra frisson of danger. Today, most visitors to this ostentatious palace on Lake Geneva are ignorant of the more recent passing of prominent German politician Uwe Barschel, who was found dead, fully dressed in a bathtub full of water following an overdose of prescription drugs, on October 11, 1987. Barschel had recently been involved in a Watergate-style scandal and his career was over. The breezes off Lake Geneva seem to inspire the darkest deedsthere's definitely something in the water.

Although cullin-1 neddylation is crucial for the activation of SCF ubiquitin E3 ligases, the underlying mechanisms for NEDD8-mediated activation of SCF remain unclear. Here we demonstrate by NMR and mutational studies that NEDD8 binds the ubiquitin E2 (UBC4), but not NEDD8 E2 (UBC12). Our data imply that NEDD8 forms an active platform on the SCF complex for selective recruitment of ubiquitin-charged E2s in collaboration with RBX1, and thereby upregulates the E3 activity.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We bought the Presto FlipSide to replace a faux pro waffler made by the blender company who shares its name with Fred W's Glee Club (see my review titled "The Belgian Waffle Finally Comes Home (but only stayed for three years)"). That one cost twice the price and lasted a mere three years before going to pieces. It was "Pro" in name only. Presto took a simpler and possibly more durable approach: Add a second hinge to a traditional counter top Belgian waffle maker so it can flip over and let gravity work its special magic. The entire weight of the baking platform is supported by the counter top, not by a pair of screws driven into failure-prone plastic. When I unpacked the iron and set it on the counter, I noticed that the upper grid "floated" slightly when the grids were resting at the left side of the hinge. It might just be a mass-production variance but it was cause for concern because the iron has to close tightly for proper baking. When I flipped them to the right, the grids closed firmly, so the left side became the filling side and the right, the baking side. Do the same when yours arrives. The nonstick grids are deep enough to fall into, with dimpled tapered studs that assist in releasing the baked waffle. The baking surface is surrounded by a fairly generous overflow rim. At 1350 watts, it bakes hotter than the 1200 watt pro-look model. The Presto lacks a darkness control but you can compensate by adjusting the baking time. What's important is the initial temperature when the batter hits the grids, and if you turn a darkness control too low, the grids are too cool to "fry" the outside. What you end up with is a textured pancake, not a real waffle. The battery-powered timer is a nice feature but not really a necessity if your kitchen, like mine, has plenty of timers (the stove, the kitchen scale, the microwave oven). The waffles come out about an inch and then some in height with a crisp, crackly exterior and a cloud-fluffy interior. We make our waffles from Krusteaz Belgian waffle mix but use the professional technique of separating the eggs and beating the egg whites before folding them into the batter. Baking time is 3 minutes for a waffle you could charge at least a pair of Lincolns for on a hotel room service menu. Time will tell if the Presto FlipSide, at half the price, is twice the waffle iron for the money. Updates as they happen. Stay tuned!

Mesenchymal cells contribute to the 'stroma' of most normal and malignant tissues, with specific mesenchymal cells participating in the regulatory niches of stem cells. By examining how mesenchymal osteolineage cells modulate haematopoiesis, here we show that deletion of Dicer1 specifically in mouse osteoprogenitors, but not in mature osteoblasts, disrupts the integrity of haematopoiesis. Myelodysplasia resulted and acute myelogenous leukaemia emerged that had acquired several genetic abnormalities while having intact Dicer1. Examining gene expression altered in osteoprogenitors as a result of Dicer1 deletion showed reduced expression of Sbds, the gene mutated in Schwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome-a human bone marrow failure and leukaemia pre-disposition condition. Deletion of Sbds in mouse osteoprogenitors induced bone marrow dysfunction with myelodysplasia. Therefore, perturbation of specific mesenchymal subsets of stromal cells can disorder differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis of heterologous cells, and disrupt tissue homeostasis. Furthermore, primary stromal dysfunction can result in secondary neoplastic disease, supporting the concept of niche-induced oncogenesis.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 14, 2011 Contact: Charles Summers 207-626-8400
AUGUSTA, MAINE — Secretary of State Charles Summers testified before the Joint Select Committee on Regulatory Fairness and Reform today. The Secretary's testimony appears below.
Testimony of Charles E. Summers, Jr., Secretary of State Department of the Secretary of State
Before the Joint Select Committee on Regulatory Fairness and Reform Hearing Date: February 14, 2011
LD 1, An Act to Ensure Regulatory Fairness and Reform
Senator Courtney, Representative McKane, members of the Joint Select Committee on Regulatory Fairness and Reform I am here today to testify in support of LD 1 and am encouraged by your intention to craft and enact legislation to improve Maine's regulatory process. I believe the Office of Secretary of State can be a key ally in this effort.
Given our shared interest in a better regulatory climate in Maine, I respectfully request that you consider the following elements in your regulatory reform package. I believe these proposals will allow the Secretary of State to play a more active role in ensuring that our regulatory processes work for Maine's citizens and employers.
Specifically, I suggest the following four steps aimed at ensuring Maine's small businesses are not disadvantaged by the state regulatory process:
Create, within the Office of the Secretary of State, the position of Small Business Advocate, who will assist businesses when established agency procedures fail to resolve problems or disputes.
The duties of the small business advocate would include:
Accept and review confidential complaints of improper actions by a regulator against a small business.
Recommend a Stop-Action declaration to Secretary of State (see #2, next page).
Monitor and report on agency compliance with small business protections within the Administrative Procedures Act.
Empower the Secretary of State to issue temporary stop-action orders upon the advice of the Small Business Advocate.
A stop-action order would instruct a regulatory agency that is subject to a claim of improper action, to take a specific course of action or refrain from a specific course of action in order to protect the claimant small business from significant hardship while the Small Business Advocate is assessing the claim.
Stop-Action authority is not a substitute for the formal appeals process, nor could the Secretary of State reverse adjudicatory determinations.
Empower the Secretary of State to enforce agency compliance with the small business protections within the Administrative Procedures Act.
This proposal would require that the Secretary of State certify that agencies have complied with the small business protections within the APA before a regulation can take effect.
Amendments to the Maine Administrative Procedures Act (APA) enacted in 2007 require regulating agencies to engage small businesses in the development of regulations that affect them. However, it is not clear that agencies are complying with these new procedures.
Establish the Secretary of State as the chair of the Regulatory Fairness Board and move staffing responsibilities to the Office of Secretary of State.
Currently the State Planning Office (SPO) is charged with providing assistance to the Regulatory Fairness Board and board appointments are made by the Governor. This structure does not provide adequate independence from the executive branch, whose functions the board is charged with reviewing.
It is my sincere belief that imbedding these new responsibilities within the Office of Secretary of State will create an independent, accountable and appropriate check on the state's efforts to regulate Maine businesses.
While these new duties would require legislative changes to the functions and authority of the Secretary of State, I believe they can be effectively executed within the existing resources of the Secretary of State's Office.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with you to strengthen Maine's business climate in Maine.

By Brian Fry
You can tell a lot about a restaurant's commitment to and appreciation of wine when you first walk through its door. It is clear from the moment you enter Liberty's Station Square Ristorante that it has embraced the concept of how important wine is to the dining experience.
There is a bottle of wine on each table, and great pictures of wine and food adorn the walls. Most importantly, a new wine list is available for diners to select the right bottle for their dining experience.
Owner and Head Chef Ottavio Musumeci has been working hard to improve many facets of his restaurant since he purchased the building a few months ago. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment is the new wine list he launched this month. Musumeci has produced one of the finest and most comprehensive lists in all of Northeast Ohio. The list offers 138 different wines from 11 different countries ranging in price from $12 to $1,300 a bottle.
Musumeci, born in Torino, Italy, immigrated to the United States in 1999 and became a U.S. citizen in 2004. He met his wife, Bridgete, in Italy while she was studying Italian culinary arts.
Musumeci says designing and implementing the new list was a labor of love.
"I wanted to do this because I love wine. I did it for personal satisfaction, so I can say with certainty that I have one of the best wine lists in the area."
Musumeci has submitted the new list to The Wine Spectator for consideration for an Award of Excellence. Each year, the publication selects the best wine lists in the United States and features them in an annual issue.
Musumeci has a few personal favorites on the list, including Veuve Clicquot Brut sparkling wine from Spain, Ridge Montebello Cabernet, Groth Oakville Cabernet, and an incredible selection of 2005 Bordeaux from his private collection. The 2005 vintage from Bordeaux was historic in both the quality and depth of the wines, including the spectacular Chateau Leoville Las Cases, which earned a rare 100-point rating. These wines carry a hearty price tag ranging from $170 to $1,300.
If you are looking for great value on the list, Musumeci suggests his Station Square Private Label Cabernet. A bottle of this wine sits on each table ready for you to enjoy. It is a blend of Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petite Verdot, with the grapes originating in California.
The wine is fruity and delicious and represents a nice value at under $20 a bottle.
True, Station Square is a wonderful restaurant, but Veuve Clicquot is not a Spanish Sparkiling Wine. It is one of the oldest French Champagne houses in history check out

Great article! I hope you are going to stop at YOLO in Canfield!

Oh, thanks! The green words aren't synonyms ... they are words that are used in similar contexts. For example, mustard and mayonnaise aren't synonyms, but people talk about them in similar ways.
Of course, even with that explanation the same-context words for Godzilla don't make all that much sense, either. Good thing we're working on updating that data, huh? -
cool! i tried a difficult one at first just to test its intelligence. Godzilla.
( http://www.wordnik.com/words/Godzilla#related ) rhymes look great, but
the synonyms make little sense. -
We've added wordmaps to many of the words on Wordnik -- check them out in the Related section. This is still a beta feature, so feedback welcome!

Wander through the light-filled 2nd and 3rd floors, where you can see founding father Joseph Jenkins Roberts' dining table – a gift from England's Queen Victoria. The building was the former legislature.

About this location
The Island of Malta region
The Island of Malta region
The Maltese archipelago of Malta, Gozo and Comino is a relatively small group of islands in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea but with a rich history built through the years which now offers many places of interest and things to discover. Just over 90km south of Sicily and 288km north of Africa, these islands have had various conquerors during the years leaving behind them a mark in history.
Having a total population of around 400,000 people, Malta is the largest island and is the one with the most history and commercial entities. Gozo is the second largest and is 'greener' because it is more rural than Malta, where more crafts and traditions are still practiced among the inhabitants. Comino is mostly known for its Blue Lagoon, a crystal clear rocky beach in front of a nice four star hotel.
Enjoying sunny weather for the majority of the year, having a wide selection of different beaches, having an exquisite cuisine made of traditional ingredients and over 7,000 years of history, there is a great deal to see and do during your holiday.
These islands have their own language – Maltese, which is similar to Arabic. However, English is also an official language and many people talk and understand English very well. Other spoken languages are Italian, some French, some German and some Spanish. Also, since 2008, Malta adopted the Euro as its single currency and is one of the members of the European Union.
Malta's capital city is Valletta, the hub of historical sites and museums. Places of interest not to miss in Valletta are St.John's Co-Cathedral, the Grand Master's Palace, the Museum of Archaeology and the War Museum. There are a lot of activities and exhibitions which take place in Valletta throughout the year. Prior to your arrival in Malta, check any local websites to see the events taking place at the moment. The Alarme and In Guardia Historical re-enactments, together with multimedia attractions offer an overview of Malta's history. They are very interesting especially to those who would like to discover more on Malta's past.
The pre-historic temples of Mnajdra, Tarxien and Ggantija (in Gozo) are a must visit. There are also the underground catacombs of St.Agatha and St.Paul in Rabat, and the Hypogeum in Paola (selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO). The Roman Villa in Rabat is truly a historical place to visit, which is next to Mdina.
Mdina was the capital city of Malta before Valletta. Mdina is also full of history and do visit Mdina in the evening and walk along the old alleys while admiring the whole city lit up creating a unique experience.
Unique activities not to miss are the weekly village feasts in summer, the Sunday open markets of Valletta, Marsaxlokk and Victoria (Gozo) all year round, a harbor cruise for spectacular views of the capital, the Carnival of Nadur (Gozo) and Valletta in February and the Good Friday processions.
For the young visitors there are also some great attractions not to miss. To mention a few there are the Splash and Fun water park, Popeye Village, Mediterraneo Marine Park, bowling and cinemas.
Going out of the central area of Malta, one discovers the rural side of the nation. The old villages comprising of the church and houses along narrow alleys in the centre are spectacular to see and walk through. There are over 360 churches in the islands, some of which deserve a visit, including the Mosta Dome (having the third largest dome in Europe), St.John's Co-Cathedral, Mdina Cathedral, the church of St.Philip in Zebbug.
These are only some of the attraction one finds in the Maltese Islands. There is so much more to see and discover, either on your own or with an organised tour.
Mellieha Bay is on the north-eastern part of the island and is Malta's largest sandy beach. It is popular with locals and foreigners and many have their own summer residence in Mellieha Bay. The area is a paradise for sandy beach lovers and is very well equipped with a lot of facilities, including restaurants, pubs, bars, lidos, hotels, water sports centres and many other amenities. The area is also a very good base for exploring nature, including the Ghadira nature reserve with its various migratory birds observation viewpoints as also the opportunity to go to interesting walks to places like the Red Tower, the Ahrax, Anchor Bay (where the Popeye film set is located) and much more.

It's about eight to ten hours of pure, fast-paced action no one should look down on, unless you're just not a fan of the genre. With such an appealing story and addictive gameplay, Dante's Inferno's only sin seems to be its shameless similarity to Sony's celebrated franchise.
A copycat, yes, but when it's this thrilling, brutal and frankly, awesome we don't care.
One of the most intriguing action games of the last years. The setting is great, and despite the similarity with God of War this product can entertain for many hours.
You're not going to find a wholly original gameplay experience with Dante's Inferno, but that doesn't mean it's not a hell of an entertaining package -- it's one that fans of action shouldn't miss.
Maybe some recently released games are quite the same (Bayonetta or Darksiders), but none of them entertained me that much. The creepy sound effects, the great graphics and the story make this game to one of my favorites. We will see if God of War III can handle this one.
With Dante you go in to the nine circles of the hell and you have to beat a lot of strange creatures and huge bosses. The game is a copy of God of War, but it is a very good one. Everything in this game is great, the only thing that's a little bit poor are the graphics. Do you like hack and slash? Well, this game is a fantastic one.
Dante's Inferno is not an innovator of the action genre, but a game that can entertain until the end credits. The gameplay is solid and the great design is an added value, able alone to raise the level of the production. Ultimately a title not brilliant as Bayonetta, but perfect to be played waiting for the upcoming king Kratos.
If you are looking for a slightly darker and edgier version of God of War then look no further than Dante's Inferno. What it lacks in gameplay originality it more than makes up for with style and substance, painting a dark and sinister portrait of a literary classic and creating a gameplay experience that you won't soon forget.
Playstation gamers will probably turn their noses up at this whilst Xbox followers finally get a chance to play a game like God of War.
Dante's Inferno has taken a bit of flak from the gaming community for borrowing a lot (and I do mean a lot) of gameplay elements from God of War. But when it's all said and done, Dante's Inferno is a fun experience.
God of War fans will enjoy Dante's Inferno but will most likely pass it over right now given the timing between the adventures of Dante and Kratos.
Dante's Inferno is an incredibly fun game with exciting and fast-paced gameplay. However, with a dull storyline experience, Visceral gives me no choice but to call the overall experience of the game mediocre. Of course, if you're looking strictly for the fun of the gameplay, you can be assured that they've delivered on that end.
Dante's Inferno offers an unique experience with an excellent story. It's too bad the gameplay and graphics can't reach that level. But it remains a game you should definitely consider.
Obviously, critics will obsessively compare Dante's Inferno to other games, or complain about the quick time events, but don't let those nitpicky issues prevent you from experiencing this imaginative and fun adventure. It's one Hell of a good time..
If you like this type of games you won't be disappointed, but the genre is crowded enough and you should consider it depending on your budget.
With some impressive combat mechanics, an excellent game world, some of the most disturbing enemies ever seen and tight production values, Dante's Inferno delivers the goods.
Dante's Inferno is a decent action game packed with 60 frames per second and a lot of fun. Some problems related to the gameplay, the story and balance of difficulty prevents it from being on par with the best action games around.
Because most gamers aren't familiar with the Divine Comedy, the devs were free to safely take creative liberties but that doesn't absolve them of the burden of crafting a coherent narrative where your actions actually matter. Dante's doesn't do that particularly well and while the combat and level architecture is interesting enough that I stuck with it to the end, I was never fully invested in the story nor did I ever come to truly care about Dante's quest.
Beyond the similarities with Kratos saga, it's an intense and frantic hack'n slash with brilliantly artistic graphics. Too short and without innovation, Dante's Inferno has what's most important: fun.
Dante's Inferno feels a lot like God of War, but in the end it is a great game to play!
Yes, purists might not appreciate the changes made to the source (and Dante will be turning in his grave) but as a gamer I had a blast.
One hell of a ride that loses impact because so many others beat Dante to the punch. [Mar 2010, p.82]
Fans of the genre should absolutely experience Dante's Inferno, at least through the first seven circles of Hell.
There is no doubting that Dante's Inferno owes a lot of what it does right to a certain other franchise, but honestly who cares? The game is an action thrill-ride that will entertain anyone who enjoys action games at all.
Decent clone of God of War but barely any innovations.
In basics Dante's Inferno might only be a standard run, but it has its own unique challenges and dynamic atmosphere to keep you interested until the final confrontation at Lake Coeytus.
Dante's set its own standard in levels of exploity, B-movie style unpleasantness. [Mar 2010, p.112]
Solid action that's let down by a weak story and lack of momentum. [Mar 2010, p.74]
Falls just short of brilliance, and that's its greatest sin. [Issue#189, p.72]
Yes, they took God of War and put it in the cauldron with Prince of Persia but they made it with their own hellish and dark style. Classic literature rocks! [Feb 2010]
Derivative and simple, but well-produced and very playable. Please, just go to Hell. [Mar 2010, p.68]
A hell of a good time. [Apr 2010, p.72]
A brutally entertaining interpretation of the classic poem with some really inspired backdrops. We don't care who they stole the basic concept from.
On the whole, the game has enough extras to keep it from being too dull - puzzle levels for example - but apart from some of the boss battles the combat as a whole is a little underwhelming and a bit same-same, even on the higher (punishing) difficulty levels.
While the level designs deserve plenty of praise for creatively exhibiting the Nine Circles of Hell, Dante's Inferno really has nothing else to offer itself other than its obvious comparison to God of War.
Dante's Inferno doesn't play the same league as Visceral Games first gem, Dead Space, but it's a nice old school Hack and Slash. The game works like an interactive compilation of God of War mechanics, but at the same time Hack and Slash action fans should ignore its references and enjoy it for what it is: A good action game.
Dante's Inferno takes a bold, visually impressive take on a literary classic and adds in an intriguing action focus to create a different kind of action title. Unfortunately, some derivative combat sequences and a shallow combo system prevent the title from becoming a truly great experience.
Dante's Inferno is an enjoyable and technically impressive action game which is otherwise blighted by its unappealing aesthetics and wholesale lack of originality.
If you can get this game on the cheap or rental you'd be damned not to check this game out - even if it is for stunning CGI sequences, epic bosses, the odd boob shot and the brainless bashing of the undead.
It's not the poem in game form by any stretch – but it is a gorgeous action game – one of the best looking games you are likely to play and if you're a 360 gamer who has never experienced a God of War game then it's actually a fairly easy sell. However, those who know Kratos will quickly realize this is mere imitation.
There are a lot of interesting things about Dante's Inferno. Unfortunately, these positive elements are somewhat undermined by a sketchy camera, an unintuitive right thumbstick control, an excess of unnecessary falling deaths, a series of frustrating timed puzzles, and a default difficulty level that's higher than it probably should be.
All in all, it was a fun trip though hell, even with one circle being lackluster and the game feeling rather short, I still have no issues or moral objections to recommending Dante's Inferno for fans of this genre.
Dante's Inferno offers little new to a genre dominated by franchises like God of War, yet it's graphical depiction of Hell helps create an interesting, and entertaining experience. As a game that took an awful lot of liberties with the original story, more liberties should have been taken with the gameplay to set it apart from its competitors.
An enjoyable game. But a forgettable game.
Much like how Saints Row is a damn good GTA clone, Dante's Inferno is the best God of War clone yet that should be enjoyed be all.
If you can look past the fact that Dante's Inferno is a very loose adaptation of the classic poem, the game offers eight to ten hours of fun occasionally interrupted by unnecessary annoyances. Though it's an entertaining game, it doesn't do anything original, and feels like it never quite reaches its full potential.
Despite its visual aspect that was a bit below the standard ofn the genre, Dante's Inferno is able to provide fun and hold you until the end of the game. For some it can become repetitive and uninteresting, but it is a great choice for lovers of the genre.
Despite its refusal to innovate, its blatant copying from the God of War rulebook, and its missed opportunities, Dante's Inferno is nonetheless a solid title. At the very least, it's an engaging prospect for Xbox loyalists who've never played a God of War game. However, with the likes of Darksiders and Bayonetta on the market (as well as God of War III in our sights), Dante's Inferno is the weakest proposition of the bunch.
Ultimately, our issue is simple - if you're going to shamelessly riff on a formula popularised and pretty much perfected by another massive game title - yes, God of War in this instance - you better be damn sure you do it better. And, sadly, aside from its excellent combat system, Dante's Inferno misses the mark in almost every way.
There's nothing broken about Dante's Inferno, and much that's enjoyable, but it's more an act of homage than a game in its own right. Like the shade of the Roman poet Virgil, the Ghost of Sparta keeps Visceral company throughout its underworld adventure, but unlike the former, Kratos casts a very long shadow.
Dante's Inferno features some interesting aspects (like its combat), but early innovation loses out to repetition. The game's biggest strength – Visceral's recreation of hell – wanes during the second half. Some entertaining unlockable content adds to the replayability, but for most gamers, Inferno doesn't have enough new ideas to warrant a return trip through hell.
A Kratos in Crusaders clothing, Dante's Inferno isn't much more than a carbon copy of the God of War series, which is a pity since the setting is impressive and the series has a lot of potential. Dante said it best himself: "I cannot well repeat how there I entered, So full was I of slumber at the moment. In which I had abandoned the true way".
A nice action game with a great setting, but far too similar to what we've already seen in the God of War franchise.
A ballsy take on literature that worships at the altar of God of War.
Dante's Inferno would be a much better game if it had spent a bit more time in development. The last half of the game isn't very imaginative, the final two levels are just terrible, enemies are reused far too often and it really feels like there should have been two endings (one for each alignment).
It sets itself apart with its story and environment.
Overall, I see Dante's Inferno as a noble effort and interesting spin on a made-for-gaming body of work that falls short of the rarified air enjoyed by other legendary action titles.
Dante's epic quest loses momentum long before you reach the end.
As it is, we have a solid and very playable game which will no doubt entertain genre fans, but never dares to do much more than parrot good ideas that came before in a slightly grosser way. It's hard to dislike, but for the same reasons hard to love, too.
The fatal flaws of Dante's Inferno are not even its dated graphics or depressing lack of originality. It's monotony and endless repetition that will drive you nuts.
Dante's Inferno copies God of War in every way possible, except the part that makes God of War really good: the epic scale, the fantastic build-up and original puzzles. These elements are simply lacking in Dante's Inferno, and what remains is a brown version of the game that it was inspired by. EA could have done better with the source material.
Dante's Inferno fails to rise above its peers, the punishment for which is not damnation, merely a place in limbo.
It fluctuates in both difficulty and quality, never quite realising the potential of such a ghastly setting.
You can see glimpses of what could have been, but it is spoilt by some bad choices and a sloppy ending.
But these hopes were dashed in the final third where poor design, repetitive waves of enemies and button-bashing gameplay took all that my enjoyment and curdled into a numbing disappointment.
It's a game that doesn't commit any great—wait for it—sin, but it's so dead-set on copying a superior game that it's destined for mediocrity.
The game is filled with lots of good and well-executed ideas, but they all seem to exist independently of one another. It's a popcorn movie that clearly took a good deal of talent to pull together, but comes up short of creating the grand adventure that it seems to be trying for.
Another major annoyance is the save system. You can only save at designated statues, and there are only two or three per level.
For once gamers can honestly believe the hype. Dante's Inferno lives down to expectations in spectacular fashion
