My time with the game was short, so I tried to cram as much in as possible before I was ejected from the controls. I was dropped in the middle of a graveyard with the dead coming to life all around me. A combination of the stone fist, a special flaming fist move and various weapons helped me make my way through the walking corpses. The controls were simple enough to pick up and I found myself getting around with ease. Combos can be used as well to really give yourself some extra power. There are also contextual grappling moves that can be used to pull your enemies close for those final crushing blows. Puzzles also play a role in the gameplay although the one I played was rather simple.

The graphics look pretty good and are definitely in the realm of what we have come to expect from our now-gen titles. All in all it was a fun gameplay experience that borrows liberally from several other games of this style. While that might not appeal to some gamers, fans of Hellboy will find it a fun romp with one of their favorite characters. Hellboy: Science of Evil releases June 12 for the PSP, Xbox 360 and PSP.

KONAMI REVEALS FULL VOICE CAST FOR HELLBOY THE SCIENCE OF EVIL
Hollywood Standouts Selma Blair and Doug Jones Join Ron Perlman in Video Game Adaptation of Hit Entertainment Property
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) - July 10, 2007 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today revealed the full voice cast for Hellboy™ The Science of Evil (working title), its upcoming video game adaptation of the smash hit entertainment property for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. In addition to Ron Perlman, who portrayed Hellboy in the 2004 feature film, Selma Blair and Doug Jones will reprise their roles from the motion picture as Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien to lend their voices to the game.
As Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien, respectively, Selma Blair and Doug Jones created enduring identities for their characters in the popular 2004 Hellboy feature film as they battled alongside Ron Perlman's imposing portrayal of the crimson-skinned warrior. Featured prominently in some of the most successful films of the last 10 years, Blair is well known for her roles in Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions, while Jones recently lended his talents to the Academy Award-winning Pan's Labyrinth and Adaptation.
"With voice acting from Ron Perlman, Selma Blair and Doug Jones, and creative guidance from director Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy The Science of Evil is shaping up to be one of the most faithful video game adaptations of an entertainment property of all-time," said Brian Christian, Vice President of Product Development at Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "Drawing from the mythology of both the comic books and the motion picture, we are able to tell an original story featuring all the characters, settings and visceral gameplay that fans could ever ask for in a Hellboy game."
Hellboy The Science of Evil lets players take control of Hellboy's incredible supernatural powers as they battle to overcome a terrible Nazi scheme. Wielding the massive Right Hand of Doom, players will be able to wreak havoc on both the enemies that stand in the way as well as the game's detailed levels, using the rubble they leave in their wake as weapons for even more bone crushing power. With the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 versions of the game, players will be able to team up with a friend to battle through the game cooperatively via online play as a number of characters from the Hellboy universe, each with their own unique fighting style.
Developed by Krome Studios, Hellboy The Science of Evil is planned for release on the Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 system and PSP system this fall. For more information on the game, please visit: www.konami.com.

We've been hearing a lot lately about the upcoming Hellboy game, including the recent news that Ron Perlman, who played Hellboy in the movie, will be providing the voice for the comic book demon. This new trailer shows a bevy of monsters and destructible environments for your viewing pleasure. The European gothic village setting is a particular favorite! Hellboy and his Fist of Doom is set to bust out onto PS3, PSP and 360 later this year. Let's just hope that Konami can make Hellboy's trip from the comic page to the game console as smooth as his 2004 visit to the silver screen. Flynn De Marco

Filming begins on the Postal movie next week and Running with Scissors president Vince Desi says that they have signed Ron Perlman to the cast.

Perlman joins Gary Coleman and Desi as the... C-listers? in the movie. Perlman, who will be playing Uncle Dave in the movie, is probably best known for his lead role in Hellboy. He's also done a ton of voice work for video games and already run the gauntlet with Uwe Boll as an actor in the Dungeon Siege film, In the Name of the King.

Desi says that they managed to get enough liquor into Perlman to actually sign him to a two-picture deal. So expect to see him in the next Desi-Boll joint as well.

Other cast members for the movie, set to start filming on Sept. 12, include Gareth Von Kallenbach, Will Sanderson, Ralf Moeller and future Boll punching bag critic Richard Kyanka. No word yet on who will play the lead roll, Postal Dude, but rest assured, Boll's gang is sweeping the bars looking for a leading man. Brian Crecente

I'm a huge Green Arrow fan, of course. I mean, he's got the whole piratical facial hair thing going.
