Dark Sector has so many similarities to Resident Evil 4 that it could be seen as an expansion pack for Capcom’s classic. Firstly, the plot - it focuses around a city infected by a disease. The infection, like RE4’s Las Plagas, turns regular folk into murderous zombies. There’s a shadowy figure attempting to create an army with these creatures. Then there’s the female double agent - she’s like Ada Wong, minus the ...

Shedding light on one of PS3's grittiest games
Jan 3, 2008
Jan 3, 2008 The surprise isnt that developer Digital Extremes action thriller is a Resident Evil 4 rip-off - after all, theyve made a career of ‘borrowing from other games, most notably Pariah on Xbox, a blatant Halo clone - but that Dark Sector looks so polished, despite being wonky at best only six months earlier. Even the plot feels familiar: Lead man Hayden Tenno (a dead ringer for Leon) blasts and hacks his way through the fictional eastern European city of Lasria. Then theres the ...   » Read Full Dark Sector preview
Dark Sector
Hands-on with a polished build of Digital Extremes' techno-thriller
Dec 4, 2007
Dec 4, 2007 Hayden Tenno is having a bad day. A black ops member of the CIA sent into sensitive areas as a cleaner; someone charged with disposing of elements that the government deems unworthy of tasting oxygen - Tenno is what some would call "morally ambiguous," which makes him perfect for introducing a bit more lead into someone's diet. Problem is, he's been dispatched to post-Soviet Lasria in Eastern Europe to take care of a fellow CIA operative, and Lasria is crawling with... well, with ...   » Read Full Dark Sector preview

Touring a European shithole with a guy and his frisbee

Oct. 15, 2007 Come to the former Soviet Union. It's Rubbish. Yep, the various fictional former Soviet states featured in games always look like the very worst place to spend a weekend. Bad news for preposterously-named Hayden Tenno, then; the poor fella's got himself dosed up with mutagenic goo and is stuck in the middle of an Eastern European wasteland between two warring factions - the hazmat-suited government soldiers and the massively freakish victims of a biological weapon. Dark Sector ...   » Read Full Dark Sector preview

Forget what the ESRB says - dismembering monsters and punk-ass soldiers with a living steel boomerang in Dark Sector is neither "excessive" nor "offensive." It is awesome. A little disturbing, maybe, but if you don't want to see some bad guy rolling around on the ground clutching at a bleeding stump instead of trying to kill you, then why are you hurling sharp hunks of metal around in the first place? OK, yes, Dark Sector is pretty gruesome, and its spurting gore - brought on mostly by tosses ...   » Read Full Dark Sector preview
Dark Sector - hands-on
Why shoot what you can cut in half?
Jun 13, 2007
Few things in life can match the pleasure of slicing someones legs off with a spinning blade. So Dark Sector, at the very least, has that going for it. Thankfully, it has plenty more besides. Taking elements of Gears of War and Resident Evil, this sits nicely in the middle ground - third-person action that mixes things up between ludicrous, head-exploding violence and careful blasting from behind cover. ...   » Read Full Dark Sector preview

This is a great game... I only wish I had discovered it sooner. All that wasted time playing demos and waiting for killer games. Thanks guys! Long live Dark Sector Multiplayer mode.

Resident Evil 4 / Predator

'nuff said.
ecoman  - 1 year 1 month ago
That's true... the game is a lot like that Arnold Schwarzenneger's movie with the Alien Predator going invisible. That's one of the more intriquing aspects of the game. the force field armor is pretty cool too.

Thanks for the recommendation guys. I just started playing this game and OMG!!! I didn't know what I was missing. This game on its own kicks major ass. But, online mulitplayer is where it really shines. Predator couldn't be more proud with the game's turn invisible option... it even has force field along with the killer glaive weapon among other automatic weapons.

This game is cool. I definitely recommend owning it. It is a lot of fun to play and it has a couple interesting variations on team play.
