Here are our top 5 Fashion Crime of Gaming."
"In Dark Void, players take on the role on Will Grey, a cargo pilot lost in the Bermuda Triangle in 1938.

"Tonight, television fans around the country tuned in for the season premier of LOST. If the producers are to be believed, it's the last season, and should give some closure to the plot lines started up over the past five years. While watching, I couldn't help but think about what makes the show so successful, and realized there are a few things that game makers could take away from J.J. Abrams' series. Well, besides Polar Bears, of course."
The flight-based combat game Dark Void was pretty ill-received by the gaming press, so Yahtzee's take should be especially unforgiving. Only one way to find out...
"Michael Lafferty of GameZone writes "Gamers don’t care. Doesn’t matter if it is sunny or cold outside – there is the warmth of the television screen or computer monitor, reveling in the glow of White Knight Chronicles, or Mass Effect 2. So what if winter is a bit longer. Six more weeks of winter is all the excuse needed. "You still gaming?" Don't scramble for a response - blame it on the groundhog.""

"Dark Void is a game that isn’t even worth renting. Bayonetta and DarkSiders may have spoiled gamers early this year. But thanks to Capcom and Dark Void, we’re reminded that complete crap can still cost you $59.99. Avoid the Void."
""Jetpacks are one subject that should always make for a good video game or film, especially if you throw in outer space and world domination. Because of this belief developer Airtight Games and publisher Capcom decided to unleash a little product known as Dark Void, onto the Xbox 360 gaming public. Taking its cues from movies such as Rocketeer and Star Wars it seemed as though the game was setup for success. Ever since I saw Dark Void for the first time over twelve months ago the creators use..."
"A flurry of new titles have already raised the bar in 2010 and have set the precedent for what’s yet to come this year. Capcom’s latest rocket-powered offering brings high hopes and even higher expectations from fans, but can Dark Void boost itself into the hearts and minds of gamers?"
""Basically, Dark Void is great at delivering memorable first-time experiences. The moments that follow, however, might leave you feeling like you’ve fallen into one great big hole – a void, if you will.""

Capcom intends to become a major international publisher by the end of the next fiscal year. Given all the titles that are being pushed back, they certainly have the resources to do so. But here's what their three-pronged strategy for success looks like.
Game trailers are some of the most important and telling marketing pieces used by companies to tease their latest projects. Check out this inside look at how these important videos are created and how important they are for the growing interactive entertainment industry.

A new exclusive demo will be available for Capcom’s European community at the show along with an outdoor skydiving booth and an impressive advertising campaign throughout Cologne."
Publisher Capcom has noted its latest property Dark Void will be delayed until Q1 2010 in order to "to avoid competition with releases of major titles of other companies."
The game was set to come out at the end of September, but will now not see the light of day until between January 1 and March 31, 2010. A rough hit, to be sure, but on the bright side the game should be even more polished and come with more content upon launch.
Capcom anticipates the game will sell two million copies ...
Dark Void and Lost Planet 2 were available for demo play at Capcom's booth this year. Unfortunately, you also needed an appointment to get past their pseudo-bouncers (hard to look intimidating wearing a Capcom polo). That's where cheeky game reporters come in.
If you're curious as to what either game is about and are looking for some basic information or more in-depth impressions, here's a good place to look. See how well the flight mechanics word in Dark Void, and if you can accidental...
"The UK eSports Association (UKeSA), the official governing body for competitive gaming in the UK, has today announced that Capcom will unveil its games in development at the upcoming "GameOn! London event", to be held from 20th to 21st June at London's Olympia exhibition halls.

A developer diary video of Airtight Games' Dark Void. The developers shed light on the plot and basic play mechanics - including the touted verticle cover system and aerial elements. The video provides a decent amount of gameplay footage as well.
"Dark Void
CAPCOM’s Dark Void aka “the jetpack-game,” as Airtight Games developers affectionately refer to it, uses PhysX to create “realistic” jetpack, UFO, and spaceship physics. It also has the distinction of being “the first game to use dynamic, accurate smoke effects and smoke trails.” Dark Void uses a “vertical combat system” that brings the action off the ground, into the air, and back to the ground seamlessly, giving the player a particularly three-dimensional experience. Live out you..."
A regular old Capcom extravaganza is what we have going on over on Neoseeker, in light of their CAPTIVATE 09 press event yesterday.
Needless to say, if you are a fan of the company's stuff, we've got heaps of new content to check out -- trailers, news (Resident Evil remake remake, oh yeah), screenshots...nummers.
Links here:
Bear McCreary, the internationally renown composer of 'Battlestar Galactica' and 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' is to write the score for Capcom's upcoming shooter, Dark Void.
Dark Void, a third-person flight action game lets players run-and-gun in the skies using a jetpack. The game is set to launch this year for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Airtight Games, the dudes behind Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, have released a teaser trailer for their upcoming sci-fi adventure Dark Void, which offers "vertical combat", a rocket pack, and more. The story doesn't exactly seem original, but the gameplay sounds awesome. Anyway, we'll have to see when it releases later this year (we've heard May 26).
Also the official website is now live, though there's nothing but the teaser on it as of yet.
"Dark Void puts players in the shoes of a pilot who can defy gravity with his jetpack. The game takes verticality in a new direction as combat can take place at any height and from any orientation. It's an ambitious game that I'm definitely looking forward to, and we have some new screenshots that might persuade you to agree with me."
Capcom has released a gameplay video from Dark Void, a game featuring both aerial and on-foot combat, featuring a bit of what to expect from the multi-plane combat. The game details are sketchy at the moment but it appears to take place in the Bermuda Triangle and involves aliens (doesn't it always?).
Video at the source.
"There's no multiplayer mode planned for Capcom's Dark Void, director of design Kraig Kujawa has confirmed.
"We explored it, but there are so many huge features in this game, we really wanted to focus on making the most kick-ass, single-player features possible," Kujawa told Joystiq.
And when Kujawa said the team 'explored it,' he meant the team actually built a multiplayer mode. "We had multiplayer up and going," said designer Jose Perez.
"It was fun, and to be honest, we just could ..."
