If there's one thing I love more than blasting holes in the heads of my enemies from fifty feet away, it's ripping them in half from crotch to sternum with my giant demon tentacles. Fortunately for me, both of those things are possible in The Darkness II.

2K Games released the game's demo exclusively for Xbox Live Gold members this Tuesday, so I took that opportunity to get some quality Estacado time in. The demo will release to the rest of Xbox Live, Steam, and all North American PSN users on January 24th, while PSN users in Europe and Asia will have to wait until the 25th.

I was a huge fan of the original Darkness game. The gameplay is definitely improved, hopefully the story will be just as good as well.

I've played the demo and loved it. It seems to be selling a lot of people on the game so I am glad for Digital Extremes, I never thought that we would get a Darkness II.

playing it right now.... it's pretty good, even though I could never get into the original....

Seems like a "Gamefly" to me.

This demo had some fun violence. Will rent for sure.

I loved the demo. I still have the first game on my shelve, need to dust it off.

I'm fairly certain Jackie Estacado will steal people's hearts when this game is released.

I need to try the first one. I've heard to many good things to not at least attempt to put it on my incredibly deep and lengthy backlog.
