I was suprised to find that within this demo was a clever and amusing game, giving you a glimpse of what lies within... so feeling rather ...  Read the complete review

This is a first person shooter. The levels are based in new york. During the game you pick up many special powers that allow you kill enemies in different ways. ...  Read the complete review

The Darkness for me was something of a surprise hit when it was first released. I wasn't expecting much from it, but became totally sucked into its excellent world.

The Darkness, while boasting fairly impressive ...  Read the complete review

The Darkness for me was certainly one of the games of 2007. It had a gripping storyline as we followed the character through a roller-coaster of emotions.

The ...  Read the complete review
