Interview: Seth Olshfski on The Darkness II

January 25, 2012 in Featured, Games, Interviews

The Darkness is one of my favourite comics of all time. Not for the story or the violence, but more the way it constantly evolves with new artists and writers. The games are evolving, too. At a recent Insert Coin(s) event (pics here) I had a chance to chat with The Darkness II’s producer, Seth Olshfski. We talked about the game, his career and pet hates.

The boys at Insert Coin(s) know how to put on a party! This wasn’t just some new footage for The Darkness II; these guys throw arcade machines, a Milk bar, a DJ, heaps of booze and live art into the mix. The result? Utter chaos.

January 14, 2012 in Featured, Weekend Opinion

In 2002, PC gaming was a big deal, consolers had the PS2, Xbox and GameCube to pick from, and the only good handheld was the Game Boy Advance. So now, 10 years on, it’s time to jump on Google and find what you loved playing in 2002. Read the rest of this entry →
