While the Darkness is technically a protagonist in The Darkness, the entity is unmistakably evil.  Current host Jackie is questionable as a person, but he is, for the most part, good.  So you'd think that a secret society established to purse the Darkness would also be good, right?  Once upon a time, maybe, but this cult of protectors has since been warped by their enemy, and their hate became an

Everyone kind of figured Warhammer 40K: Space Marine would have some type of cooperative mode, just not when Relic would be adding it.  Well, the formerly announced "Exterminatus" co-op mode has been dated, and as promised, will be arriving this month. Relic and THQ confirmed today that Space Marine's first DLC -- which is free, by the way -- will be released on October 25.  In Exterminatus,

Microsoft opened the doors to independent game development with Xbox Live Arcade, but 2D Boy's Ron Carmel goes indie with research to try and determine why fewer studios are willing to bite the hook nowadays given the how much more prevalent (and lucrative) development on competing platforms like iOS has become.  XBLA is hardly the only marketplace for digitally distributed titles, as most gamers

September draws to a close, but it's been an epic month for PS3 titles in Japan.  First Namco Bandai's Tales of Xillia sells over half a million copies on launch day alone, and now industry research firm Media Create confirms From Software's Dark Souls is another blockbuster of a title. While it didn't quite reach anywhere close to 525,605 unit sales secured by Xillia in a single day, Dark Souls

Initially expected to appear for the holidays in 2011, Blizzard has now officially announced a delay - Diablo 3 will not ship in 2011 and is instead now targeted for early 2012. This also means that the beta test that started on 20th September will be extended and more people will be invited later this year. This is not completely unexpected as the initial feedback over the beta seems to have

Developing XCOM hasn't been easy for 2K Marin.  When the game first debuted at E3, the reception was unfavorable -- to say the least -- and the studio had to completely redo what they had already accomplished.  What we saw at E3 2011 was solid, but in July, the project's lead designer and art director left 2K Marin to form their own studio.  Yeah, talk about terrible luck.  Fortunately, the game

So Street Fighter X Tekken will be released for more than one PlayStation brand platform.  Fine, but how will the DLC for PS3 and Vita versions work?  If Capcom gets their way, then DLC between Sony's two platforms will be shared. While no DLC has been announced, we all know it's coming.  Lots of it.  But sharing DLC means that if you buy the content for either PS3 or Vita, you will have it

So on
