15th Jan - Dark Void
Dark VoidPublisher: Capcom
Developer: AirTight Games
Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, Windows PC
Release date: 15th January, 2010.
Set from the third person perspective, Dark Void’s gameplay combines jetpack-booster aerial dog fighting and third-person combat, while taking advantage of a unique vertical combat system that allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and hurl enemies to their doom. Will is also equipped with a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.
The use of the jetpac in Dark Void is said to provide total freedom of movement as you race against UFOs in high-speed chases and rain death from above onto unsuspecting otherworldly foes. With gravity-defying vertical combat system at the core of the gameplay, developer Airtight Games says that the speed and scale of Dark Void is unmatched by any other action title as you zip through tight corridors and then out into immense canyons and futuristic geoscapes.
It's looking good and has obviously impressed Hollywood film makers. Brad Pitt is apparently going to star in a feature film based on the video game.
