The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic, blood-soaked shooting gallery that throws relentless waves of enemies at you with little time to breathe.

About

While not a straight port, it is actually a mix of the game and its expansion, Painkiller: Battle Out Of Hell. Painkiller: Hell Wars was also announced for Sony's PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. However, both versions were canceled worldwide.
