During one of my random searches on the interweb, I came across a very exciting game called Darksiders. It has the gaming community buzzing with comments about it being a rip off of God of War or Devil May Cry. I call bullshit on this. One, the game isn't out yet, and two, while it does look like a God of War rip off, I'm sure God of War was too. Only fanboys and the most hardcore angry teen boys rage at this. Honestly, who gives a shit if it is very similar to God War? I don't and I'll tell you why. If it is similar... they it must be good. Who doesn't like a hack and slash game with puzzles thrown in the mix? I do. I love that very much. If I'm going to rent a game or even drop the 60-70 bucks, I want something awesome with lots of replay. Besides, with The God of War Collection (re-release of GoW 1&2 on PS3) releasing November 17th 2009 and the highly anticipated God of War 3 releasing in march 2010, this gives gamer plently of time due to the sweet mid time release on Janurary 5th 2010 of Darksiders.
Now that I have your attention, let me explain the Darksiders storyline. You take on the role of War, one of the four legendary Horsemen of the apocalypse; the apocalypse has just taken place prematurely, and the world destroyed, and War finds himself tasked to find out who was behind this; caught in a battle between angels and demons, he has lost much of his power, and must find out where the other horsemen are, and who misled them into starting the final battle. This link here is a 10 minute video giving you a very in depth look at gameplay, story and characters. If you liked the God of War series, you'll enjoy this game. It's on my holiday wish list. (hint hint, I say to She).
I just can't stop watching this trailer, even if I think Darksiders is a stupid title. Still won't stop me from buying it. Or at least renting. By the way, this gem looks like it's releasing for Playstation 3 and XBox 360. I do love a game that everyone can enjoy.
