Reviews and The Darkness

The reviews are in the paper this week. I had a look at the appropriately titled More Brain Training, which does exactly what it says on the cart. Owners of the original will lap this up and I'm a fan too. The number memorising challenge does me in every time though. Next up is Hour of Victory, the tepid Call of Duty clone for the 360. How many more Nazis do gamers have to shoot - can we have a WW1 game please? There's a good attempt at one in the other review - The Darkness. This terrific story based shooter has been my summer gaming highlight - it has a warped WW1 section, just in case you haven't played - and is recommended to anyone who likes a bit of brain with their 360 brawn. If there is a more powerful gaming moment this year than the orphanage scene then I can't wait to see it. And there was me thinking it was just brain dead comic book FPS. Anyone else been pleasantly surprised by The Darkness?
