I’m the least likely person that you’d want to have talking about a game which at it’s heart seems to be about having a complex relationship with someone else.  But that’s not going to stop me from doing this Let’s Play of the Catherine Demo!

Catherine is a quirky game which is kind of a mix between a social status game and an addictive puzzle game.  The demo, which released for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 last week, gives a good taste of what’s in store, and makes some promises about what we get to see in the final version of the game, although we don’t get to see the consequences of our choices in the demo itself, which was my only complaint.

Apologies in advance for the low audio during certain dialog scenes (that’s why I kept in the subtitles), for some reason when the game switched over to 5.1 audio during in-game dialog sequences, the audio level dropped from the 2D animated segments, and there was no option in game to alter the volume levels.

Catherine is coming July 26th, 2011 for the Xbox 360 and the PS3.  There’s also going to be a Collector’s Edition for either platform, called the “Love is Over” Edition.  Preorders of the game at participating retailers will get you an artbook and soundtrack bundle seperatly, or bundled inside the “Love is Over” CE.

The Darkness 2 Delayed July 20, 2011

Bringing some relief to what was already going to be a HEAVILY swamped Fall release schedule, 2K Games has officially announced that The Darkness II has been delayed until February, 2012.

No specifics were gone into about what the reason for the delay was, but I’m going to feel free to speculate.  This fall is looking to be the most jam packed three months (September through November) in this console generation, probably in the history of gaming outright.  The sheer amount of major platform releases and major cross platform releases is going to put a dent in any gamer’s wallet, and by delaying until Feb of next year, The Darkness II has a better chance of getting recognition at a time when there will be no competition released.  Of course they could also be delaying it to add multiplayer, but other than the “No Comment” I got at E3 I have no evidence whatsoever to support that speculation.

The Darkness II is now coming February 7th, 2012 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
