Decisions that you make throughout the game’s story allowed one to have different abilities depending on if they were good or evil. Darkwatch went the inFAMOUS direction before inFAMOUS was even a thing. The structure of the game chose to capitalize on Halo’s successful design, but the various powers/abilities that players could accumulate were what helped set the two titles apart. The gameplay was where things were a bit more unique. The plot is fairly straightforward, but the ending goes with the moral choice route, with there being two endings for the player to choose from. The story revolves around a vampiric outlaw by the name of Jericho Cross (still one of the coolest names in gaming) and his work with an order of vampire-hunters known as Darkwatch. For those who aren’t sure, Darkwatch found it’s way onto shelves in 2005 and was branded as a steampunk, horror shooter. Well one such standalone that comes to mind is the High Moon Studios developed title Darkwatch. With that being said, although there is a wide variety of games to choose from, what makes for a solid, well-rounded horror title? If anything, the titles listed prove that the horror genre has been a staple of gaming for years and it shows no signs of slowing down. Some more notable gems out there include F.E.A.R, Resident Evil (the early stuff anyway), Outlast, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Silent Hill, and, more recently, The Evil Within 2. It’s not all about the flicks though, as there are several scary games that make their way into the frame as well. Yes, I speak of none other than Halloween, the one true day of the year where I can still enjoy myself by sitting down and watching terrible slasher films from the '80’s. A night of the year where ghouls, goblins, and a bunch of incredibly irritating people dressed up as that goddamn clown from It will be both literally and metaphorically wandering the streets. It seems like only yesterday when people started gearing up for the month's most famous celebration. A month of horror, mystery, and, oddly enough, Canadian Thanksgiving. With that being said, today I’ll be asking the question: “Whatever Happened to… Darkwatch?”Īh, the month that was October. Has there ever been a point when you’ve looked through your gaming library and wondered, “Huh, whatever happened to this title?” Well, I’ll be taking a look at videogame standalones/franchises and the lead up to their eventual absence.
