Guns, tentacles and a mullet?



Bryn says: Awesome. I really enjoyed The Darkness -- it had one of the most interesting storylines I remembered from 2007, and the action was thick, grim, and fast. There were some pretty depressing and shocking moments and on the whole, it was a well-executed mature shooter.

I'm keen to hear of specific changes or improvements to this sequel.
