Pie-sized review on Dante's Inferno

Today I was surprised to learn that the great Dante, nomad of the super natural realms, wept upon the sight of the hell-constricted sorcerers with their heads turned backwards for eternity. The surprise did not come from the grizzly figure nor the tears streaming down the sorcerers back and butt. My surprise came from the lack of scythes that the creature had. You see, I have played the video game Dante's Inferno prior to reading that which the game is loosely based on and, to my homework-time's dismay, they are close to nothing alike. The only similarity is the levels of hell that both protagonists must travel. The enemies encountered share the same names but my minds-eye and the hi-def graphics hardly agree. But I digress. Dante's reaction to the sight of those imprisoned by their own actions is a compassionate movement in his comedy -- a heartfelt reaction to the cruel underbelly of the pious God. Dante the compassionate later becomes Dante the kick-a-damned-soul-in-the-face-if-it-gets-in-the-way. In this way God scores one point for the teaching of being pious. Fortunately for God, the slice-a-damned-soul-in-the-face-if-it-gets-in-the-way video game got a first week sale of 3.5 million units. Take that sympathy.
