The Darkness effectively blurs the boundary between a movie and a video game.
I am going to keep this review short and sweet and concentrates on what I believe is the most groundbreaking feature of this game. Many might think of The Darkness as "just another FPS", but it is much more th... Read Full Review

The Darkness is a brutal and vividly gruesome representation of what breaking away from the norms can do for a genre.
If it were not for the occasional bugs this game would be perfect. It is not the most inventive title it is just loads of fun to play. The meat of The Darkness is in your dark buddies to your left and right, and about... Read Full Review

An FPS with complexity and variety The Darkness has redefined innovative gameplay for the genre.
With a huge amount of FPS games out there you almost get bored of the same thing over again. Shadowrun tried to make the genre more innovative but failed, yet here it is succesful. But gunplay is still a main part of the... Read Full Review

A great game FPS sci-fi game by Starbreeze....
This, at its core is a first person shooter that plays exactly like other shooters, except you are the darkness. This game lets you be the horror, instead of facing it. You will strike fear in hearts. Here is a few ex... Read Full Review
