    It's not all brutality. The Punisher is also one of the most immersive strategy games ever created. Aim for the head and enjoy.

    This game probably won't win any awards for originality. But even as it is, comic fans will be especially pleased, and it's more than capable of providing the desired bang you'd expect for your buck.
