Feed the craving
360 owners got their first taste of horror-shooter Darkness II a week or two ago, and now PS3 and PC players can do the same. Hit up PlayStation Network or Steam to grab the demo now.
On the PC side, the graphics, while not at all demanding, do impress, and a few graphics options do the job well enough. Framerate should be awful high on any halfway decent rig, too.
Whatever your platform, if you're after a horror shooter with a fairly unique story, it gets our preliminary thumbs up.

Very VERY good game.. I was impressed with the demo I enjoyed The Darkness but felt it handled the powers in an awkward way. That has been fixed this time allowing for very fluid combat.. Within minutes I was shooting, grabbing, executing and impaling people with ease and it was wholly satisfying.. This game runs silky smooth on the PC one of the few modern titles that has impressed me a lot in that regard.
