"Mythology and ancient lore have always been perfect backdrops for video games, especially the ones of action/adventure variety. Last week I got the chance to put some real hands-on time with the upcoming action game from mega-publisher THQ titled Darksiders, and what I walked away with was the thought as to why more entertainment sources up to this point have not dealt with the same storyline. The basis of the game revolves around the four horsemen and one of the favorite general plots of all..."
""At last week’s Darksiders press event in Los Angeles, California, Andrew Groen of GameZone was able to log in a good amount of playtime with the action-adventure title from THQ.
Not only was he able to see the full build of the title, he was able to be a witness of how challenging the title can be when he encountered, the first major boss, Tiamat. Before he fought the crazy bat-demon, he was able to dispose of the mini-boss, The Jailer, in a grueling battle that displayed a hilarious exec..."
"Apart from what seems to be a great idea for a story, which takes an interesting modern vision of the biblical Apocalypse myth, the most important part of Darksiders was always going to be its combat. After all, if you don't get the combat right in a hack-and-slash game (or in most games for that matter), it really doesn't matter how good every other aspect is. Luckily, this game certainly left me with a great first impression of its action-packed combat mechanics. The controls feel natural a..."
"While at this year's San Diego Comic Con, we stopped by the THQ show floor booth to checkout Vigil Games' upcoming third-person actioner, Darksiders: Wrath of War. Due out in January of 2010, Darksiders puts players into the warboots of War - one of the dreaded Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. War is on a quest to find out who actually started a premature apocalypse...

"Set in a post apocalyptic world, the war between heaven and hell has just ended making hell the victor. While the battle between angels and demons took place; "War", one of the four legendary Horsemen of the apocalypse sent to earth was blamed for the turnout which the result was hell on earth. Now being stripped from his power, faces being exiled and cursed to roam the earth forever. Instead of taking this lying down he sets out to seek revenge and clear his name."
"Electronic Theatre first previewed Darksiders at last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and was impressed by its flair and depth, even then. Nearly a year on, we are left in no doubt that the new development from THQ is going to be a hit. Due for release on January 1st, 2010 on PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360, Electronic Theatre brings you more details from E3 2009 to whet your appetite."
"Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise is among the most highly praised in the video game industry. Even the worst titles (barring the non-Nintendo produced CD-I exclusives) are among some of the top-rated games, and Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time is still the best-rated title of all time. For some reason, there aren't many attempts to copy The Legend of Zelda's success. The games that follow the Zelda mold are few and far between, and the only really notable one in the last few years..."
