We know you’re keen to slip on the well-tailored suit of Jackie Estacado and unleash The Darkness to slice and dice your enemies, but before you do here’s a selection of tips and tricks we put together to help you get the most out the experience.
While the world teeters on the verge of economic collapse like a house of cards on a cliff edge, we diligently dredge through the internets to find you the best deals on the games you want to play. Why? It’s a sick compulsion, and we’d rather not talk about it. Let’s just enjoy the sweet, sweet deals.
Our weekly round up covering the world of PlayStation trophies returns – this week we muscle in on the awards available from UFC Undisputed 3, delve through the blood and guts to reveal the cups on offer in The Darkness II, plus we have a top tip for getting Snake to do some Sexting in Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
It’s Leon and Phil again to talk you through new footage of The Darkness 2 in this PS3 video review. (You can read Phil’s full Darkness 2 PS3 review here). Here we discuss the changes to the sequel, the bloody (but fun) combat and the less than sucessfull boss fight where it all gets a bit Deus Ex.
Forget trailers, we’ve got a 25 minute video of The Darkness 2 gameplay in action. Nearly half an hour of PS3 gameplay from pressing start to transforming into a heart-eating, people-slicing angel of death. (We’ve also got a Darkness 2 prologue to explain the backstory if you missed the first game). There’s even some of the power ups and character progression skill tree in there too. It looks excellent, with quad wielding letting you crush, impale, cut…
If you want to polarise a room, start playing The Darkness 2. Half the populace will take one look at your demon arm burrowing about in a mobster’s squishy bits and leave the room – and your life, forever. The other half will form a crowd. (To see why, check out our Darkness 2 video review.)
In case you missed the first game, or didn’t play it, here’s a slightly unstable man freaking out as he explains The Darkness 2′s backstory. Short version: In the beginning there was light. This upset the Darkness so it messed a load of dudes up and turned into that guy from Faith No More. For the long version, watch the video. (We’ve also got a 25 minute video of The Darkness 2 PS3 gameplay.)
This is always the most exciting part of a console generation. The part when all the technology is sussed out, the developers (barring Bethesda) no longer have to spend 18 months faffing around trying to make a PS3 game work, and everyone can just concentrate on piling all of their efforts into the creative side. Whatever tech the next gen might bring, it’s always this latter part of a previous…
Three new videos have been released showing The Darkness 2′s multiplayer characters Inugami, Shoshanna and Jimmy (JP Dumond’s missing at the moment, I’ll get him up as soon as I get him). It’s all pretty messy with body parts flying all over the place and suggesting the characters all have different abilities to mess around with as axes get thrown, swords are stabbed and shotguns get blasted. Bagsy the guy with his…
Take Two have revealed a batch of new screens to show off the new multiplayer mode in The Darkness 2. It’s unsurprisingly dark while showing the four main characters, a range of spooky looking occult guns and swords, because every game needs swords. You can find out more about The Darkness 2′s co-op multiplayer in our gameplay hands on. The game’s set for a February 7th release date.
