The Darkness demo playable in a few weeks

I am excited about this game, however the lack of a demo before the release and the fact that it is a new game franchise makes me very skeptical about buying it the day it comes out. It may just have to wait till I see a demo. Or some hands on reviews. For all I know it'll be like Prey and Ur character never really dies and that would be redundant and challengless.

Eh. I don't have the money to buy it on release anyway. Though I am completely hyped up about this game. The Darkness has been the one game that I haven't heard a whole lot about, but I really want it.

I really like some of the subtle effects in this game. Raising your weapons when you come towards a wall, aiming in two directions and that awesome smoke effect that comes from the business end of the pistol after you've shot.

Not to mention I've been waiting for some Mafia goodness, and mixing it with some Doom / FEAR styled gameplay is really the icing on the cake.
