I’m Pretty Sure This Star Trek Video Game Trailer Breaks The Prime Directive

The number on rule in Star Trek fiction states that the Federation can’t mess with the development of other planets. Looks to me like that whatever planet Kirk and Spock are on is freakin’ crumbling.

Was The Darkness II Modified For Australia?

Kotaku AU

Digital Extremes hasn’t had much luck with our Classification Board. The developer’s Dark Sector had to have dismemberment and decapitation removed before it could be sold here.

The Sex And Extreme Violence Of The Darkness II

The Murderous Maths Of The Darkness II’s ‘Quad Wielding’

Balancing the Xbox 360 controller lightly between pinkies and thumbs, I twiddle four trigger fingers in occasionally rhythmic bursts. Each squeeze dispenses death in different, surprisingly creative ways. Bad guys die by gun blast, slashing tentacle, severing cab door, skewering light pole.
