EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: 2kgames
Wouldn’t you know it, but another tantalising videogame release is upon us once again, this time in the form of The Darkness II from 2K Games and Digital Extremes!

Jackie Estacado may not have asked to be imbued with the dreadful power of The Darkness, but as this excellent launch trailer for The Darkness II shows, he’s very protective of the inhabiting force as he rends invading enemies intent on stealing it from him.

Now, the publisher/developer pair have unleashed a thrilling gameplay trailer to prepare us for the chaotic, white-knuckle action they’re aiming to include in the game with quick cuts of devastating sandstorms, gunfire and aerial combat - one to look out for in 2012!

What terribly distressing events await us in Bioshock Infinite next year? What heart-rending actions will we be subjected to?
As the latest compilation trailer for Bioshock Infinite reveals, it’s not all Skyhooks, blazing action and Fourth of July Summertime celebrations in the game. There will be tragedy and poignant moments of reflection, too. There will be events that deeply affect us and make us question ourselves.

At first, Johnny Powell may seem like a paranoid schizophrenic, but if you listen carefully you’ll soon be able to benefit from his valuable knowledge concerning the goings on in the dark criminal underworld of The Darkness II, as protagonist Jackie faces off against the powerful ‘Brotherhood.’
Even with the power of The Darkness, how will Jackie survive against this ever-encroaching enemy? By employing the help of four other just as ruthless allies!
The latest trailer and screenshots have just been released for 2K Games’ Spec Ops: The Line, acting as a re-unveiling for the publisher’s unique action shooter.
