Hellgate: London E3 Previews

Both IGN PC and Gamer’s Hell have released hands-on previews of Flagship Studios’ Hellgate: London, after checking out the game at this year’s E3. A snip from IGN PC’s article:

One of the many advantages of actually getting to sit down and play the game is being able to inspect things at leisure, and I can confidently say that the interface is already pretty polished, and most actions pretty intuitive. It wasn’t long before I was wielding two handguns at once, which I’d modified in less than a minute, and blasting my way through sewers and post-apocalyptic urban streets.

And a snip from the article at Gamer’s Hell:

You can dual wield weapons and when both are equiped, each mouse button controls one of the deadly weapons. Some skills are on automatically activated once you select them. For example: you have the ability to chose an aura which, when enemies get within range, a purple ring shows up and depending on your skill with the aura or the distance of your foes, they may be damaged, possibly exploding or being consumed in flames.
