The Darkness 2

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…

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.)

GTA 5 old guy

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…

Darkness 2 co-op multiplayer

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…
