The Darkness

On Jackie Escatado's 21st birthday, a mysterious power awakens in him known as "the darkness." (Unlike you on your 21st, when you drank wine coolers in your dorm room while trading Ferris Bueller quotes with your roommate, you douche.) This awesome new power makes big snakes grow out of your back. Pretty cool, no? You'll roam the seedy streets of New York City at night popping gangsters in the head, then letting your back snakes eat their hearts. No kidding. Eventually, you develop even more powers, including our favorite: a vortex that literally hoovers up any nearby enemies. The game was made by the same peeps who made that terrific Chronicles of Riddick game on the Xbox. So they managed to make a game starring Vin Diesel fun to play. Which means these guys can do pretty much anything.
