The completely brilliant/insane idea behind Darkest Of Days is getting to time travel through various famous conflicts from the past, and mow everyone down with a machine gun.

Sounds like a spiritual successor to Serious Sam, with potential to be great.

Pffft, Roman's meat rockets.

I read it as Roman's Meat Pockets. Does that make me a bad person?
