The E3 trailer for The Darkness 2 has landed a little early, setting the scene for the story in gruesome style - opening with a hand getting nailed to a board - and showing off a stack of the action. For those who came in late:

The Darkness II breaks out of the sea of conventional first-person shooters with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay, which will allow players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons. The game is layered with the use of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and engulfed in stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique that stays true to its comic book origins.

As always our game page has more information and screenshots.
