News: If you ever wanted to play The Cell: The Game.

Aspyr Media has announced they will be publishing Mindware Studios' shooter Dreamkiller for the PC and Xbox 360 this Fall. Mindware previously worked on the popular first person shooter Painkiller: Overdose and will bring the same FPS expertise to the similarly named Dreamkiller.

The game's plot sounds like it was lifted wholesale from the 2000 Jennifer Lopez movie The Cell, if it involved a supernatural anti-dream gun:

Gamers will take on the role of Alice Drake, a psychologist with the extraordinary ability to enter the minds of her patients and combat the ravenous foes haunting their dreams. Utilizing a host of fantastic weapons and her own special abilities, Alice confronts our common demons only to discover an even deeper menace reigns within. The ultimate showdown becomes inevitable between that which would torment and she who will protect, and only one force will prevail amidst a variety of dreamscapes as varied and bizarre as the human mind itself.

Dreamkiller features 12 rich levels of single-player gameplay each laced with swarms of hideous and disturbing enemies reflecting the mind's infinite palette of fear. The onslaught continues with numerous multiplayer modes and a host of over-the-top weapons and supernatural abilities.

We'll have more soon.
