Hatred is an isometric shooting game revolving around the life of a sociopath whose life"s motive is to mercilessly kill people without any apparent reason. The game sparked a controversy a few months ago when it was removed from Steam Greenlight after a couple of hours, despite being the 7th most-wanted game on the list.

Valve"s Doug Lombardi explained the reasoning behind the rather drastic action:

Based on what we"ve seen on Greenlight we would not publish Hatred on Steam. As such we"ll be taking it down.

However, after an apology from Gabe Newell; who stated that he had "asked around internally to find out why [Valve] had done that", the game returned to Steam Greenlight to become the most-wanted game with 27,000 up votes.

Now with Hatred available for digital pre-order and the Steam release only a couple of months away, we"ll have to wait and see whether all the hype concerning the game was actually worth it; fingers crossed.
