These past couple of years it seems like I have less and less free time for anything. I would like to think that the world revolves around me but that's not the case since developers are releasing games not according to my life schedule. There are too many great games out there that go overlooked and don't get the recognition they deserve. Try going back to some old releases and give them a shot. I try to do this every once in a while and have ended up with some winners and losers.

One game that I went back to check out was The Darkness. The Darkness is a game based off of the comic book published by
Image Comics and is available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The story follows the main character Jackie Estacado, a stereotypical guido donning a black trench coat and an evil spirit called (get ready for this one) The Darkness! In the game you utilize THE DARKNESS! to take down your enemies in multiple fashions, by tentacle, by darkness gun, by a snake attack, and by devouring their hearts. Sounds like fun right? It is.

You also get to command little minions called Darklings. There are 4 different types of Darklings and they all have their own special abilities. As far as the story goes its pretty throw away but it does get pretty intense at one point and you may catch yourself saying something like, "WHAT THE FUCK!!!???" in astonishment. At least I did anyway. I say go check it out. You can get for under $10 at any
Game Stop or you can borrow it from a friend. Definitely a surprisingly fun game.
Just realized! As of right now, The Darkness is being published by Top Cow not Image.
