We're just a few weeks away from the day when the mob goes back to hell filled with hot lead and empty chest cavities. That's right, kids! The Darkness II is speeding at us like a bullet, and we have the launch trailer for you right here!
Inspired by the Top Cow comic book series, The Darkness II continues the journey of made (in hell) man Jackie Estacado and his minions. Game features are as follows ...
Quad-wielding chaos: Slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with the Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons, adding a new dimension to the FPS category.
Intense and personal journey: Experience a dark, twisted and gripping story written exclusively for the game by acclaimed comic book author Paul Jenkins whose credits also include The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, and the original The Darkness game.
Distinctive graphic-noir style: Graphic novel shading and color combined with the dramatic lighting of film noir pays tribute to the source material and brings the pages of the comic series to life.
4-PLA YER CO-OP CAMPAIGN: Play as one of four unique characters each capable of wielding weapons infused with Darkness powers.
The Vendettas co-op mode features 4-player support, as well as a separate story and unique characters with abilities tied to the Darkness
Look for the game in stores on February 7th on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360!
Grimm Gets Another Buffy Alum as a Guest Star After a few bumps in the road, NBC's "Grimm" appears to be back on track, and this latest bit of guest casting news has us looking forward to future eps. Azura Skye ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") will be appearing later this season in "The Thing with Feathers".
So I know it's a first person shooter and it doesn't really matter all that much since you won't ever really see the character, but it's kind of annoying that you never get to see him actually looking like the Darkness from the comics.
It'd be like playing as Clark Kent for a video game. Sure, he can still fly and punch through brick walls, but without the cape and tights it just doesn't FEEL right.
