3The Swiss Christian Police Association wants the upcoming 2K Games sequel banned because it shows police being shot and killed. Felix Ceccato, president of the group, said: "When police in England are the target of mobs running amok, it is important that police are not portrayed as the enemy." The fuss was swiftly nipped in the bud by 2K, whose statement reads: "Reported stories regarding police officers in The Darkness II were erroneous. There are no police officers in the game."

In a sensible move given its source material, The Darkness II will have quite a presence at this week's Comic-Con, with a playable demo and a panel featuring developers, the comic book's co-creator Marc Silvestri, and Faith No More's Mike Patton, who voices the titular Darkness.
