Not every Marvel property is a "super hero." In fact, certain characters in the Marvel Universe stand out amongst the usual colorful and powerful cast of characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man. The Punisher has always been about a dark and tragic tale, about a man who's life was ripped from him, therefore giving him nothing to lose. It's surprising that such a violent and dark setting hasn't yielded more video games. Alas, we've been left mostly barren of game's starring Frank Castle. Punisher: No Mercy is a downloadable game for the PlayStation Network built by Zen Studios - but is it better than nothing?
Frank Castle is pissed. You see, we somehow managed to miss the fact that Punisher: No Mercy was released last week for $10 on the PlayStation Network. I tried to apologize to Frank, I didn't know the game supported a 2 player online cooperative mode. He didn't care, so he shot me in the knee.
