This April will mark three years since the last numbered release in the Grand Theft Auto series. That’s an unusually long time for the franchise, but Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes the wait for the next GTA game is almost over – according to him, there’s a very good chance we’ll see it this year.
During a presentation of its third quarter fiscal results yesterday, Take-Two declined to offer up any release window for the inevitable follow-up to Grand Theft Auto IV. However, Pachter speculates that a release sometime prior to January 2012 makes a lot of sense. Why January? That’s when the contracts for several key individuals at Rockstar expire — namely, the Houser brothers Sam and Dan, as well as Leslie Benzies. The Housers have been an intricate part of the GTA series for years and the duo was even named to the 2009 Time 100 list.

2K Games has announced that The Darkness II will be coming to the Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in Spring 2011. Developed by Digital Extremes and based on the supernatural horror comic book series created by Top Cow, The Darkness II takes players down a brutal and personal path as Jackie Estacado, wielder of The Darkness – an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction.
The Darkness II breaks out of the sea of conventional first-person shooters with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay, which will allow players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons. The game is layered with the use of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and engulfed in stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique that stays true to its comic book origins.

We can be total idiots really. We do things that are so obviously silly, and then repeat over and over again. Playing a good survival horror, at night with the lights off and the headphones on is guaranteed to make adult diapers a gaming necessity. Dead Space 2 is such an intense experience that I couldn’t play it for more than an hour before I had to turn on the lights and fire up Viva Pinata – just to calm my frayed nerves.
Why did I don the headphones and turn out the lights when I knew Dead Space 2 was going to be so freaky? Because that’s just what you do with this genre of game. It’s designed to make you soil your pants, and that’s why we’ll keep coming back to the genre. We like to be scared shitless.
Despite this being Dead Space 2, it was my first outing as Isaac Clarke and my first experience with the nasty Necromorphs. I’d seen a few screen shots and been a little worried that this would be all hype and no substance. I needn’t have worried, because the visual presentation was fantastic and the Necromorphs, essentially a kind of alien/moster/zombie hybrid, are the perfect nightmare inducing enemy.
