You absolutely won't need to harbor The Darkness alone

Publisher 2K Games has announced this afternoon that The Darkness II will sport a four-player co-operative game mode known as Vendettas. The moody mode takes place in parallel to the main plot, and has players assuming the role of four different characters, each possessing a unique Darkness weapon. The mode's pitched as a "team-focused,..

After going missing in action for over eighteen months, 2K's finally re-announced its oft-delayed third-person shooter Spec Ops: The Line

The game's now due out in Spring 2012, and will put you in control of a US Delta Force soldier named Captain Walker. The desert setting's still in place, dropping you amidst a sandstorm in Dubai with the intention of saving the "damned" 33rd squad of..

It's been a while since we saw 2K Games' Spec Ops: The Line

The ambitious desert-based shooter was first shown at the 2009 VGAs and has been missing in action ever since. But it will return next week with a brand new trailer and a raft of impressions to go with it. And just to keep everyone interested, the publisher has released a brand new screenshot of the game (embedded above). The image alone..

Irrational Games gaffer Ken Levine has said that he is in no rush to get a BioShock movie made

A cinematic adaptation of the first-person adventure game has been on the cards for a while, but like so many other video game movies has struggled to get off the ground. “We got very close to having it get made – we had a deal in place and a director. But for us there’s no burning to have a movie..

  Ken Levine has told players to expect more varied gameplay in BioShock Infinite

While the original game focused very heavily on close-quarters combat, its sequel will have a much greater range of encounters, keeping players on their toes. "One of the first things we did when we started on BioShock Infinite was to draw a graph with y and z axes, and to say that one of those axes..

With the BioShock franchise loosely associated with the XBOX platform -- despite all of the games appearing on PS3 -- it looks like Sony is going out of its way to make BioShock Infinite feel more at home on its premier platform

One way its achieving this is by heavily promoting the game's PlayStation Move implementation. In a new interview, Irrational Games gaffer Ken Levine has said that he can't..

Oh XCOM -- how many times have you been delayed? It feels like everytime the 2K Marin developed first-person shooter is within our grasp, overlord Take Two pushes the carrot a little further away

Last night the publisher announced that it is to push the strategy reboot into the publisher's fiscal year 2013. No real reason was offered, but with Max Payne 3 scheduled to drop on the same date XCOM was..

When Ken Levine announced PlayStation Move support for BioShock Infinite at this year's E3, it seemed more like a statement of intent than anything else

But in a new PlayStation.com post, Sony has hinted that BioShock Infinite's heavily anticipated Move support might be further along than we anticipated. Outlining all the upcoming PlayStation Move related software, the article says of BioShock..

The father of the critically acclaimed BioShock series, Ken Levine, has said that he's not "aching" for the next round of consoles because he believes the current set of consoles have plenty of juice left in them

“You look at Arkham City, Uncharted and Gears of War and you’re starting to see that these games don’t look old to me. They look very current," Levine — who is currently working..

Michael John Mamaril was a huge Borderlands fan

Tragically he died of cancer last month at the unfairly premature age of 22. This prompted Michael's friend Carlo — also a big Borderlands fan — to contact Gearbox Software and ask if they could get the game's lovable robot, Claptrap, to read some kind of eulogy. Touchingly Gearbox did, and has also promised to include Mamaril in Borderlands 2 as..

We don't remember The Darkness being so gross

Sure we remember the portions of the campaign when it went really crazy — the Hellish trenches scene continues to haunt us — but geez, this latest trailer for The Darkness II gives Mortal Kombat a run for its money. We suppose it's appropriate for Hallowe'en, but man, if you're eating right now, we can only recommend that you don't click play.

It's not often that we get to post a new video pertaining to BioShock Infinite

While the hotly anticipated first-person adventure game is firmly on everybody's radar, it's always seemed a long way off. But no more — with many of this year's big Holiday releases out of the picture, Infinite is due its time in the spotlight. And that starts today with an interview of the game's two most important..

BioShock creator Ken Levine has no doubts about who wears the trousers at Irrational Games

Chatting with Joystiq, the legendary developer revealed that BioShock Infinite is most definitely his game. “This is my game,” he said, "I love the fact that we sit down and chat with each other but at the end of the day this thing’s got to be my decision.” We wondered why Irrational never..

Man, we always wanted to play cel-shaded basket ball

And now we've got the chance. As part of a new multi-faceted DLC pack for NBA 2K12, the publisher's chucking in a cel-shaded game mode set in the heart of New York's Times Square just for the fun of it. The $10 DLC pack will also include 150 of the NBA's all-time greatest players, new mini-games, a classic quick match mode and more. The pack..

Arguably one of the biggest names in PlayStation Vita's upcoming catalogue, the announcement of BioShock Vita raised many eyebrows when it was revealed at E3 earlier in the year

But while the game itself is hotly anticipated, details are actually extremely scarce. At E3, Irrational Games gaffer Ken Levine said that the game was merely a nugget of an idea, but that it wouldn't be a port of an..

We'll be honest, we've not been that excited by what we've seen of The Darkness 2 so far

Sure the game's got a neat art-style, but it's a universe we hadn't really considered returning to. But the game's latest trailer — narrated by a complete an utter odd-ball — is actually really cool. Not only does it make the fiction seem totally engaging, but the bits and bobs of gameplay included look..

We'd be curious to see the numbers for Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer component

Are any readers still playing it? Well, if you are (why?) Gearbox has got some new DLC for you. The content includes three new multiplayer modes: Freeze Tag, Hail To The King and Hot Potato. It also includes four new maps parodying various popular first-person shooters. Which would be a great idea, if the joke wasn't..

Did you miss out on the original The Darkness? Shame on you

The game was actually a surprisingly unique first-person shooter. Still, we understand if you're not willing to set aside the time to play through the game in 2011. And 2K gets that too. Hence it's released a little recap video to get you up to date ahead of its upcoming sequel, The Darkness II. Catch it after the jump. The Darkness II is..
