Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land The Darkness comic book has been around since 1996, but you don’t need to worry about 15 years of continuity in order to understand 2K Games’ The Darkness II. You just need three minutes with Johnny Powell.
The Darkness was one of the unsung heroes of 2007, a perfectly capable shooter that was lost in the wake of bigger shooters like BioShock, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. Let’s see if the sequel can do better.
No, please don’t. Starbreeze Studios’ The Darkness might not have set the sales charts ablaze, but it did contain two of the most emotionally charged moments I’ve ever experienced in a video game, with one quietly making the impact of the other that much more profound. It’s the sort of game that would only be diluted by a sequel, but it looks like they’re going to do it anyway. It’s rumour until it’s official, but at the New York Comic Con’s Top Cow panel, said sequel was all but announced.
Here’s a pretty good deal from Amazon. Buy Bioshock for $US 50 and get The Darkness for free. “But the shipping,” you say. “But the tax,” you say. “I cannot afford such things,” you say. “I’m saving for a new KitchenAid mixer to make game cakes,” you say. Amazon gives free shipping on orders over $US 25, and there’s no tax in most states. For those interested, hit the link and scroll down to the “Best Value” option. That’s where the hot savings are.
