Did you ever wonder what it would look like if you ripped a human spine from various orifices? No, just me then. Well, join me for a quick jaunt down the twisted and bloody world of The Darkness II with this new trailer.
Now, a little bit older and a little bit wiser, Jackie Estacado can now perform a wider range of execution moves with his Demon Arms, and can also unlock more through out the course of the game. The ridiculous executions moves in The Darkness helped make it stand out amoungst other FPS games at the time, for myself. I loved watching those tendrils fight over which one would get to eat the heart of my fallen enemy. Good times!
Make sure to stick around until the end of the trailer too, to see the fan-favorite "Assecution". The Darkness II will be hitting stores February 7 2012.
Garth Ennis had nothing to do with this game as far as we know. According to wikipedia.net.imtoofuckinglazytolookuparealsource, this one was written by none other than Paul Jenkins.
@Sir Legendhead:
I was referring to the comic book, but I probably should have clarified. I've never read The Darkness, but I know Ennis helped with the character.
I was trying to say that Garth Ennis's work can be pretty brutal, so I'm not really surpised that the the game has so much gore.
Although Insomniac Games finished its work on the Resistance series with Resistance 3, that didn't stop Burning Skies from happening, unfortunately. It's possible (plausible, even) that another studio will take on the franchi...

Oculus Rift promises a richer, more immersive game experience, so pairing it with the monumental Half-Life 2 is a no brainier, right? Valve's Joe Ludwig has done just that, adding Occulus Rift support to the game.
