Digital Extremes and 2K Games are just a few short weeks away from finally unleashing The Darkness 2 upon us all. Originally set to go toe-to-toe with Batman: Arkham City during the height of the 2011 holiday season, 2K Games wisely delayed the long-awaited sequel to February 7.

For those keeping score at home, a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D has been in development since the beginning of 1997. To put that in perspective, the world hadn’t even heard… Read More
