Darksiders gets boss movie and 10/10 from US mag

US Play?
They’re the same people who rated Golden Axe Beast Rider in the 90% area right?
That’s not good.
Still, it looks good. Fingers crossed.

This is pretty much going under the radar for most people but it actually looks pretty interesting. God of War crossed with Zelda? I want to see how that works!

Awesome! this is one i haven’t really been thinking about, what a pleasant surprise, this looks like a spiritual successor to the soul reaver games

is the video fucked for anyone else?
After watching it the first time I’m now getting some crap League of Legends advert

“Golden Axe Beat Rider in the 90%” dang, that was one of the worst games i played this generation

i got the League of legends advert on the vg247 silent hill movie, and i also saw it on a movie on a completely different site earlier today

Play online gave it a 9 according to this

Maybe not the same people?
Although I can’t access the Play online site.

EDIT:
Never heard of these guys, but they gave it a 6/10

That’s depressed me. I have/had high hopes for this

Didn’t play give Lair a 9/10?

Enough said.

@hunam, Lair is the best six axis controlled dragon based shooter on the PS3. Fact.

lololololol.

Jadeskye, it’s also the worst.

Apparently 360Gamer gives this a 9/10 this month. According to the EG thread.

This game looks like it could be a blast. It’d be great if it turned out to be a belter.

@puding. True that. Some of those reviews were criminal.

I believe when Lair got 9′s on it’s original release, Mike krahulik of penny arcade said it was a crime against nature.

sums it up pretty well i think.

Bad month for it. Two words; Mass Effect

Maybe when the craze of Q1 games coming out I will look it up.

I just found a review 5/5…

quote:”So In short this game is gonna be awesome and should be played by anyone who are awesome and pwn at games”

now all we need is some reviews by people whos actually played the game

looks boring. waiting for GOWIII, Dantes Inferno and Castelvania – any other slashers are forgettable

I really hope a mag whose opinion actually matters at least gives it a good write up.
I don’t care if there isn’t a score, as long as it gets a decent write up. All the previews have only had positive things to say.
If it gets poor reviews then I’ll still buy it, when it goes down in price of course.

hell yes! but i think i will have to stand some stupid jokes from my girlfriend when she will see me playing that charackter with that huge huge sword…

I’ve seen a lot of gameplay videos of this title and I must that it’s would be a must buy if it was released anytime from April to August. If Bayonetta wasn’t coming out at the same time as this, it would be quite easy to purchase. But since that isn’t the case, this quality title is going to tank at retail.

How much THQ paid the reviewer now?

Aint THQ essentially broke?
How could they pay the reviewer?

Eregol,

THQ has had some notable successes this year with Red Faction: Guerrilla and UFC 2009 Undisputed.

Having played a few first hours of it, Darksiders is a very different game compared to Bayonetta. The action has slower pace and simpler control scheme but the game boasts open world adventure sequences and castle-wide puzzles to give it more depth. There are quite a few boss fights, too. While it remains to be seen whether or not it has enough spark to light the way through the whole game, I was left with a desire to play it more.
