It's not set to emerge blinking into the daylight until early 2007, but The Darkness is definitely near the top of our Most Wanted list following another solid showing at the Leipzig Games Convention.

The Darkness pretty much blew everyone away at this year's E3 with its sinister graphic novel styling and menacing horror undertones. Following on from Starbreeze's equally gloomy and dangerous re-imagining of The Chronicles of Riddick, it was hardly a great shock to find that its use of next generation visual technologies were being put to very good use. Locations that drip with atmosphere, coupled with a sensitive use of the source material deliver a stark lesson in how best to use licensed material.

Leipzig's Games Convention is now in its fifth year, but it's only recently that the show - which covers an entire week in August - has risen to prominence. Last year Microsoft used its German press conference to announce the worldwide pricing for Xbox 360, surprising those of us who'd expected to find that out at X05.
