The Darkness demo slithers on to Xbox Live, Euro PSN

Do you believe in a thing called love?! If so, strap in as bad boy Brit Justin Hawkins and the rest of the band take you for the ride of your life as they tour around England trying to get The Darkness from pubs into Wembley Stadium. ... What's that? What's it about? ... Oh. Well, that sounds a lot less exciting.

OK, so apparently there's a new demo on Xbox Live and the European PSN that let's you play as a gangster or something who has two evil snakes watching over his shoulder all the time. There are, as far as we know, no wailing guitar solos. And you can probably count jumpsuits right out. But there's first-person shooting action with an excellent, moody atmosphere and great writing and voice-over work. Isn't that, in a way, better than rock? ... No, of course not. We're sorry.
