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. Nevertheless, Starfleet’s most famous officers are finally coming back to video games in an new action title developed by Digital Extremes.
Ready for a bit of the ‘ol ultra-violence? Featured here are the grossest, gnarliest and most stomach-churning moments contained in the demo for upcoming video game The Darkness II.
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. Now, there are two entries for The Darkness II in the classification database. Does that mean we’re getting a censored version of it too?
The Darkness II is a video game about restrained sex and unrestrained violence. It’s the kind of a game that will show you, through a half-cracked door, the back of a fully-dressed woman giving a man oral sex, but will let you stretch a man, supine, across the length of your TV screen — suspended by the demon arms protruding from your protagonist’s body — and than penetrate one of those arms up into his back and then through his chest, murdering him as he gurgles his last bloody breath.
The Darkness II’s four new characters, each cursed with Darkness-imbued weapons, were all created by renowned comic book writer Paul Jenkins.
