D3 Had a Baby and Its Head Popped Off (AKA Ripten's Review of Dark Sector)

Ripten writes:

For anyone not in the know and/or recovering coma patients, let me explain what Dark Sector is. Dark Sector is a third-person shooter/body part dismemberment simulator (except in Australia, where you instead throw rainbows at people who react with sprays of chocolate and hugs). Sounds awesome, right? Well, it is and it isn't. I'll explain…

Dark Sector is a good-not-great little game. It was entertaining, like a videogame is supposed to be, but it's not going to win any awards or hold any special place in history (other than "first next-gen game" even though it came out after so many other next-gen games). If you've got a thing for decapitations, however, this game is for you - Dark Sector gives you more flying head than Paris Hilton on an airplane.
