The Darkness II

Finally, the sequel to "The Darkness" has arrived. It's been about five years since the first installment came out. There wasn't much hype about the sequel of "The Darkness" coming out. There was a brief showing at E3 of its release this year but nothing that gamers were really anticipating compared to other games.

If you do not remember what happened in "The Darkness," Jackie Estacado's girlfriend Jenny was murdered and made a deal with a suspicious person to help kill the people who killed her. Jackie, not knowing what the consequences of this deal would be, ended up with ‘The Darkness,' an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction.

Now that we are up to speed on what's going on, "The Darkness II" takes place two years since Jackie, who is now the Don of the Franchetti crime family, had used The Darkness to kill the men who were responsible for Jenny's death.

Jackie has been keeping The Darkness dormant, even though this supernatural power wants out. An unexpected attack that was plotted by an outside force on Jackie starts a massive mob war. This failed attempt triggers The Darkness to awaken and places Jackie on a hell-bound path to unfold this mystery of the attack and the intensions of this evil power.

"The Darkness II" is a unique first-person shooter where players use a

Quad-Weilding gameplay that allows players to throw objects at enemies and grab and slash with their Demon Arms while shooting two weapons at once. The game plays on the use of light versus dark with an intense and obscure story.

"The Darkness II" will be released Feb. 7 and will be available on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
