Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



As new videos, images, and tidbits of information about Starbreeze’s The Darkness have been popping up lately, I’ve become more and more obsessed with the game. Yes, it is another first-person shooter. But, The Darkness isn't an average, ordinary FPS. Here’s why:

  • •If the opening sequence for the game is any indication as to how the storyline will be, The Darkness should prove to be very entertaining during actual gameplay and throughout cut-scenes.
  • Mike Patton provides the voice for the darkness. ‘Nuff said.
  • •You have a variety of powers at your disposal, including: summoning Darklings, creating black holes, and (insert hentai joke here) demon tentacles.
  • •Last, but certainly not least, the game’s incredible graphics. The atmosphere and gore really make The Darkness an immersive and gruesome experience.

The Darkness is slated for a June 25 release date for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So start saving those pennies! If you still can’t get enough of this game, I suggest that you mess around on this Web site for a while.

I agree, but hey either way, this game is MINE. After Riddick, I have high hopes for Starbreeze that I'm sure they'll fill.

I mean taking a universe like The Darkness and putting it together with Starbreeze was genius to begin with. When I first read that and saw pics I fapped, mentally.


..Then physically.

This is the sexiest Darkness video I have seen yet. Each gun hand looks semi-independent. I wonder how they will let you control that.

Another cool factoid: if you look at the achievement list, apparently you can take down airplanes.

Mafia? Malevolent powers? It sounds like "The Godfather" meets "Diablo", and it sounds good.

I picked up the comics during first release. I can't say I liked it. I only got it because it was related to the Witchblade somewhat. I wonder if the Witchblade is here.

Going to have to pass up on the Darkness until I get back from vacation. by then I'll have all the juicy reviews to read. As awesome as this game looks and sound. theres a bit of wariness I can't shake about this game.
