Devour Human Hearts in The Darkness 2

I have always been very fond of the original Darkness, while certainly not the best first person shooter out there, it had a great cast of characters and a really engaging story that was made all the more enjoyable because of that. It’s been nearly five years since the original, and the focus of first person shooter has shifted dramatically since then and creating a sequel that stays true enough to the spirit of the original while maintaining modern standards will not be an easy task.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning: First Big Release of 2012, or Disappointing Flop?

As of this moment, 2012 has not been very strong on the release front.  Most of the material released thus far has mainly been complementary to games that were released in 2011, but on February 7^th, 2012, the very highly anticipated Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning comes out on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.  One thing about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning that must be noted is that it has had quite a tumultuous life span, and has been in development for almost 6 years.  There is always a bit of a stigma with games that have long life spans (we’re looking at you Duke Nukem: Forever), but unlike the largely negative response to DN:F, Kingdoms of Amalur not only has a very interesting story and a ton of lore, but also has some very powerful names behind the development process.  One of the main lore creators is RA Salvatore, who before Amalur has created the Forgotten Realms and DemonWars sagas, which have sold more than 15 million copies in the US alone.  Having such a big name as a lore creator really adds to the depth of the intrigue, but the names do not stop at the lore.  For those who have not played the demo that is now available on Playstation Network and Xbox Live, you should know that the artwork throughout the game has been headed by Todd McFarlane, the legendary comic book artist that created the popular Spawn franchise, and has done large amounts of work on The Amazing Spiderman.
