More On: Painkiller Hell & Damnation
Painkiller Hell and Damnation wasn't exactly a smash with the critics when it launched last year, but Nordic games is eager to reclaim their honor with a full DLC program for 2013. The second in a series of five DLC packs, The Clock Strikes at Meat Night, is now available on Steam for $6.99. The new pack includes the expected selection of single player maps, new enemies, character skins and expansions to both the solo and co-op campaigns.

Not only that, Nordic has announced a retail collector's edition for the game's PS3 and 360 release on April 5th. This package will include stickers, postcards, a selection from the soundtrack on CD and a poster. Here's hoping fans of the original series can get a more complete HD package with the ongoing DLC.
