Codemasters pick up Blade

Codemasters have announced that they will be publishing "Severance : Blade Of Darkness", the impressive looking action-adventure game formerly known as Blade which is currently under development at Rebel Act Studios in Spain. The game is expected to be rated 18 because of the gory hand-to-hand combat, which Codemasters seem to have fixated on. Even without the gore, the game's graphics are excellent and the physics system means that you can move objects around and use almost anything as a weapon, from a torch to a severed limb. Expect the game to appear in the UK this November.
