Give Dark Void a chance

Monday, May 3, 2010

I promise Dark Void will make your life better. I'm a bit late coming to the table on this one and I have absolutely no excuse good enough to explain that.

I played the demo so I knew I would like. The fact that the team behind Crimson Skies mad the game was a good hint it was going to be great as well. After all Crimson Skies is the greatest action flyer I've ever played.

I was actually lamenting that I hadn't seen any successor to the X-Box gem but after I played the demo for Dark Void I knew my prayers had been answered. And don't worry they made up for the waiting with tonnes of features. Not only is there awesome flying but there is a great 3rd person shooting aspect to the game with a new inventive cover vertical cover mechanic to go along with your fancy jet machine gun equipped jet pack.

The combination of flying and shooter is meshed so well that fun level is practically through the roof. I put the game in to see what it was like with no real intentions of delving in too deeply yet. That was five and a half hours ago and I'm not stopping yet--well other than to urge you to play this fine fine game.
