The sequel will boast a “hand-painted art graphic noir” visual style, a “ruthless” story and “quad-wielding combat,” which sounds pretty damn awesome, at least on paper. Check below for plot details. Exciting news! It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder....

Tell you what — I’m not very good at first-person shooters. And sinceTeam Fortress 2has been out for years, the learning curve iswayout of my reach; but I kind of dig on the brassy, big band soundtrack. What to do? Play Dylan Loney’sGreat Class Dash, a 2.5D sidescrolling platformer based onTF2’s nine classes, natch. Today marks the game’s first public release, and a cursory glance at the trailer reveals aCanabalt-inspired romp through Canada, Egypt, a swamp, and a volcano....

If you believe angry comments from gamers around the Web, Metacritic is the very center of the Eye of Terror, a place where dreams go to die and all that once was good becomes corrupted and sits rotting at the feet of a thousand mewling worms. Of course, Metacritic isn’t actually like that, as you will soon see.

[Editor’s note: Dexter345 tells us about the effect thatEarthboundhad on his life for hisMonthly Musing piece. — CTZ] I’ve actually been meaning to write an article called “Why I loveEarthbound,” as a positive counter-article to aprevious articleyou may have hated me for. When the musing for this month was revealed, I decided I could finally get around to it, as my story fits the criteria pretty well. First off, I’d like to point out thatEarthboundwas not the first game I ever played (that honor goes toPitfallon my dad’s Atari 2600), nor is it the first game I ever really loved (Super Mario Bros....

Yesterday, 2K Sports sent out a press release (after the jump, as always) saying thatTop Spin 3has gone gold on all platforms. So whether you are a proponent of the ten-year console life cycle (PS3), love to let loose on Live (360), prefer more control interactivity (Wii), or partake in on-the-go gaming (DS), you’ll be able to serve up some aces starting on Tuesday, June 24th....

In what some may consider a Captain Obvious statement,H.A.W.X 2narrative director Edward Douglas has shared his belief that Kinect won’t be any good for flight sims. While flying controls have had some success on the Wii and iPhone, the total lack of buttons with Microsoft’s motion solution is a step too far. “My personal thought is that buttons are needed to control an Airplane,” he says. “Why would you go so far away from that kind of authenticity?...

As you’ve probably heard, the latest horsesh*t to come fromThe Daily “Ban This Sick Filth” Mailwas a complaintthat black-and-white brawlerMadWorldwould spoil the “family friendly” image of the Wii and should therefore be made illegal in the UK. Games industry marketing veteran Bruce Everiss, who hasmade waves in the pastwith his unique critique of the anti-games lobby,has hit outat the ridiculousDaily Mailpiece, “They really are just trying to sell newspapers with sensationalism because nobody with a brain can be stupid enough to believe what they have written....
