There is a scene in this game where Jackie, the main character, goes to his girlfriend's apartment. The two of them lie on the couch together, and you, the player, can watch the entirety of To Kill A Mockingbird with her. In such a violent game, it's an intimate moment that stands out and has never left my mind. That's why this game deserves to be preserved.
"I remember the night of my 21st birthday, That was the first time I died."
It's one of my all-time favorite games, and it definitely deserves a good remaster and re-release on PC and modern consoles.
The story in this game hooks me very much, the characters feel alive, Mike Patton's voice acting is fantastic, and almost every NPC here speaks in a very flavorful voice, I'm still impressed. The scene where you're just chillin' with your girlfriend on her couch and watching a FULL movie of To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the most touching scenes in the game.
There is a lot of attention to detail that makes for a unique gaming experience. There's also an amazing licensed soundtrack that you can listen to on in-game TV. I can talk about this game for hours, and replay it many times. I love it, a lot.
This game is one of the first games I played when I got my PS3 back in the day. It was also one of the few games my dad watched me play and he LOVED it. So did I! I think of this game surprisingly often. It's so cool and unique. Even though I played it so long ago, I haven't forgotten it.
I played The Darkness II a lot in my childhood and very fun game. The gameplay with demonic tendrils were superb and wanted more but the first game wasn't on the PC. I want it to have it on this platform.
Always remember this game fondly as it felt very unique at the time so to have it on PC preserved and finally available for everyone to play would honestly be amazing!
This original game had some of the most memorable set pieces of any game out there. The "hell" segments that takes place in an other-worldly battlefield are like being inside of a Zdzisław Beksiński painting. The visuals in general were also great and in my opinion greatly exceed the cell-shaded art style of the sequel.
One of the best games on the PS3, was a really unqiue style at the time and had a cool story.
Sadly forgotten but i want this back due to how beloved it is by me and the people around me.
I haven't actually played this title yet, I'm keen but I've played the second title and its crazy fun! I can imagine this title will be as great as the second, plus I'd would really like and prefer to play this title and "The Darkness II" on GOG, that would awesome.

EliteElite is a space trading video game, written and developed by David Braben and Ian Bell and originally published by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers in September 1984. Elite's open-ended game model, and revolutionary 3D graphics led to it being ported to virtually every contemporary home computer system, and earned it a place as a classic and a genre maker in gaming history. The game's title derives from one of the player's goals of raising their combat rating to the exalted heights of "Elite".
Elite was one of the first home computer games to use wire-frame 3D graphics with hidden line removal. It added graphics and twitch gameplay aspects to the genre established by the 1974 game Star Trader. Another novelty was the inclusion of The Dark Wheel, a novella by Robert Holdstock which gave players insight into the moral and legal codes to which they might aspire.Open world Action Science fiction Sandbox Business
