I never played the originals so I don't know how the remastered version compares but I found the game to be highly enjoyable and a fun twist on the genre. I recommend it.

If you like turn based strategy games with a fantasty twist, this is perfect for you. The game is exactly how I remember it. Please note that this game may not be for everyone. There is no real time combat and when you do go into combat it play out on a board. I thoroughly enjoyed.

The Darkness II is a decent game. The graphics aren't great and the story falls apart. It starts out really interesting and thought provoking but then just turns into run of the mill revenge and mythology and supernatural. It decides to pursue the main characters inability to get over his dead girlfriend than deal with the implications that the Darkness has. The gameplay is fun; however, the controls can be a little frustrating at times. I didn't touch the multiplayer so I don't really know how that is. It's a fun game, but nothing great. Also I beat the campaign in less than 4 hours...

The DLC for Max Payne 3 is really whatever. It only adds multiplayer components with no additional single player campaign content. I wasn't interested in the multiplayer so this didn't do much for me.
