FW: The Literary Merits of Dante's Inferno

Dante's Inferno was made into a video game in February of last year by EA. While I have yet to play the game, I hear that it's an interesting take on the actual poem with some understandably video game-y concessions thrown in. Tonight I found a fascinating old article about how the game reconciles the allegorical themes in Dante's work and presents the world of Hell to the player. In many ways Carboncino is like the game in that they both seek to recreate and reinterpret a classic work in a different and exciting medium.

You should give it a read, especially if you've played the game:
