You're going to want to stop whatever it is you're doing and watch this. Bulletstorm is the new, over-the-top, shooter by Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski. It contains an Achievement called "Fire in the hole" which you get when you shoot someone in the anus,  causing fire to shoot out of it like a small volcano.

Seriously just watching that happen has improved my day immeasurably. Think Gears of War with a sense of humor and a slapstick style of gun play that I really haven't seen done this well as of yet. The level in the video is one called "Hideout" and is the same one that was being shown at E3 2010.  So if you missed that footage...well...here ya go.

But don't take my word for it. Watch the video and let the man himself show you how its done.

    Cliff sounds very calm in the walkthrough, like he's commentating on a golf match. The vocabulary is the same though. None-the-less, this makes me very excited for the game. Too bad it's not coming out for upwards to a year or so.

    I wasn't sure what to think of this game when it was announced, it looked cool, but I wasn't sure if it was worth buying. But after seeing this video, I'm definitely sold... Probably because of the fire in the hole...

    This is like mocking me, teasing me with all of the cool stuff they COULD HAVE done with UT4.

    Love the commentary, and this was definitely a good video. Only game that lets you do colon cleansing with lead. Win

    I really enjoyed People Can Flys first foray into the gaming industy with Painkiller and it's Subsequent expansion (Note the lack of plural, the stand-alone sub-sequels were... Less-than fresh.), For what it was it was a very solid and action packed game, even getting kinda creepy at times, ESPECIALLY if you disabled battle music.

    Needless to say I have high hopes for Bulletstorm, which seems to carry that same je ne sais quoi as Painkiller did back in the day.

    Ahh! Cliff=Bad but Bulletstorm=Good(looking). I'm so conflicted! I guess I'll have to get it.

    The only shooter other than Ghost Recon: Future Soldier that I am excited for. The environment (or what we've seen of it) looks gorgeous and above that, the gameplay looks like some of the most satisfying in a shooter in a long time. Hopefully the end product will live up to the hype machine they are building.

    Looks good. Can't wait to explore the humour they come up with with the whole kicking mechanic.

    That game is sick i remember the main character's voice from somewhere but i cant remember where i think it was from Dragon Age. The video was great when i first saw him kick the door down i knew that was how i was going to kill half my baddies.

    Unreal 3 engine does still look good; People Can Fly sure make the style to fit with it. Glad I'm developing with the engine.

    The voice actor of the main character is Steve Blum so we gotta a plus right there. But with this over the top action I'm curious to see how the keep the game's momentum constent
