The Darkness II, the brand new game based on the comic book series created by Top Cow is being released on February 10th.

This bloody and gruesome sequel to the critically-acclaimed The Darkness from 2007 features an original story by acclaimed comic writer Paul Jenkins a man behind such titles as The Incredible Hulk and Hellblazer.

It's been two years since Jackie Estacado, now Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He's been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie's life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for The Darkness to re-emerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself.

Polished, distinctive and highly detailed the game looks simply stunning, just check out the new set of screen shots below.

The Darkness II will be in stores on February 10th on the PlayStation 3, XBOX 360 and PC DVD Rom formats and you can try and win a special edition of this game plus highly collectable Darkling Statue Competitions section.
