Darkwatch is still pretty good. There's a ton of enemies in every level, and I find them more fun to fight than the average FPS enemy. Maybe because they're interesting looking. I never mentioned earlier that I'm playing at the default difficulty setting... there's one easier mode, and two harder ones. What I really, really like is that when you run out of health, you're INSTANTLY returned to your last checkpoint save to try again. There's no game over screen, there's no loading screen to wait through, just a super fast return to gameplay.

I completed two new chapters. The first was an outdoor, snowy area with a lot of sniping to do.

The second was a little more interesting. Kind of a test... there's one part where you fight with a mace until you get your gun back. I hope for more melee combat later, as it worked nicely. There's another section where you lose your vampire powers temporarily because of sunlight.

At the end of the test, you join the Darkwatch and get a neat, evil looking uniform.

I've continued to choose the evil options whenever possible. If I ever replay the game, I'll do it as good, but that's not likely to happen.

Oh, and this isn't saying much, but...

Darkwatch >>> Halo
