About Me
Jordan here. I'm a gamer from Vancouver, BC. Been at it for 20+ years, though it's certainly slowed down in the past few.
I mainly stick to single-player fare, but every once in awhile I really get into a good multiplayer game (Rock Band, CoD, etc).
If you're looking for a badass expert drummer, hit me up on XBL (SLiFE)

*SPOILERS* Fellating "The Darkness" ("Look, I drink" edition)
SLiFE | 12:08 AM on 06.30.2007 9 comments


So I rented The Darkness yesterday.
I figured it would have a good single player campaign, coupled with a tacked on multiplayer mode (haven't tried it yet, so I can't comment).
Well, I've put in a couple hours, and I am loving it. While the gameplay leaves much to be desired, the story has kept me absolutely gripped. Well, that's only partially true. When Jenny got killed, I got hooked.
I'm trying my damndest, but I can't remember when a story got me this invested in a game.
Jacky is forced, by the darkness, to watch while the love of his life (the only part of his life not tainted by evil or corruption) is murdered.
It is so fucked!!! I love it.
The struggle by this character, who while far from innocent still seems to retains a code of honour and ethics, to contain his physically manifested dark side from controlling him is absolutely compelling.

Bah... like I said, I am fellating The Darkness. And I'm drunk.
Have a good night everyone.

Damn! Looks like I need to pick this game up...I love a game that puts the story in the front and center; smacks you across the face with it like a mushroom stamp and says...
"Look at me when I'm talking to you."

DUDE SPOILERS! WTF!

This game had me from the first kill I got with the Darkness powers, but when Jenny was capped, I was pissed off. I really really felt for her and liked her, and I like Jackie a lot too.

The ending, is a tearjerker, I promise you.

Multiplayer is definitely decent, they just need to fix it.
