Ben-DutkaThe Darkness was a lot of fun. And although a different developer (Top Cow) is handling the sequel, we still have really high hopes.
An evil entity simply called "The Darkness" has invaded the body of Jackie Estacado. Being a guy who often has to kill for a living, the bond actually wasn't a bad fit. But then the mafia targeted Jackie (we're not sure why) and they took the one thing he cared about: his girlfriend, Jenny. With her death, Jackie goes a little nuts…and The Darkness loves it. Here's our best look yet at the long-awaited sequel, which features not two, but four demon arms. That oughta be interesting.
It's slated to release in February and that may seem like a long wait, but time flies. The timing isn't bad; having it release during the packed fall schedule might've been suicidal. This game needs a fighting chance to succeed and if it's as entertaining as the first title, we say it deserves any success it gets.

Something evil is inside of me, too.
Should not have eaten that burrito…
lol for burritos
what is it about mexican food that makes it explode from your butt like the darkness from Jackie?
I really hope they dont mess with what was good about the first game.
certainly on my radar this one!
I've heard people b!tching about the stylized look of this sequel. I personally think it looks pretty b!tchin! I enjoyed the first, given the minor graphical and control issues of a 2007 release and Xbox360 to PS3 port. Hopefully the gameplay will rock and the storyline is fully fleshed out and epic.
I didn't realize you were such a fan of The Darkness. I have it here somewhere but never popped it in. I guess I should give it a quick run through to see what you're talking about.
The Darkness was cool.

However, fair warning: that's the type of game that will look VERY dated by today's standards.
Yeah, imo it looked fairly dated already at launch.
But I totally loved the atmosphere in this game. And hopefully that atmosphere has stood the test of time better than the actual graphics.
it says 10.2.2012, not 2.2.2012 ????
you are correct, not sure why Ben thinks its feb. i remember hearing it would be but that clearly says it will be another year.
That's February 10, 2012; a European release date. It comes out here three days earlier.
The game was delayed, remember?
Don't worry Cobb, we europeans find american date format confusing too. 🙂

the first 2 games i played on my ps3 were heavenly sword and the darkness. i dont own the darkness but i think i will find a copy and buy it now so i can play it again. i never did finish it. i had a lot of fun with it though.
Kinda like playing the monster in a horror movie.
Actually it kinda is. 🙂 The first one were really, really cool.
was so disappointed when this got delayed from october till next year!
i actually picked up the original today for 10 bucks!
oh well at least it will be on the show floor next month.
i hope they kept the creepy as hell death cut scenes those were so cool!
allot of the time i would just die deliberately to see if i could get a new one…….
