Trying to move beyond PC casino games, publisher Phantom EFX is ready to release the Darkest of Days on September 8 for PC and Xbox 360. The FPS follows a time traveler who must save certain soldiers in wars because "history needs them." You know, it's the anti-Terminator.
The game is being developed by 8monkey Labs out of Cedar Falls, Iowa. That's not really important, but we so rarely get to write about devs from Iowa that it felt like it needed to be said. Some videos of the game can be found on the Darkest of Days website. Sadly, nobody says, "Come with me, if you want to live," in any of them.

It would be cool fighting in way older wars before they even had guns. Like during Rome's prime, or the Crusades. Shooting off knights from their horses with a scoped M4.
Endless possibilities ... if this game is moddable with a community ... it would be epic.

I grew up in cedar falls, and still live in iowa. PhantomEFX and Bobcat are the only two game developers in the state. and if the beta for DoD was any indication the game will be awesome.
