Darksiders

[Isildur´s Heir]

THQ's Darksiders has impressed in it's first review, with 360 gamer magazine given the action/adventure game a 9/10. The 100% Xbox 360 magazine said that the game is 'the closest Xbox owners will ever get to playing Zelda'.

People are already saying it can very well be the Batman: Arkham Asylum of 2010.
I´m hyped for this game since 08, when the first gameplay trailers appeared and i knew it was from Joe Madureira.

So an 8 hour campaign with absolutely nothing to do afterwards?

Kinda like God of War games outside the titan challanges?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I've only played the first GoW and that was a good length.

Interview where they discuss how classic adventure games influenced this one.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Looks good. Still can't decide which system to get it on

I'm watching more of the videos on GameTrailers. Looks really good. Can't wait.

 

[Drz]

Ah just wait and see if Darksiders ps3 turns out to be a horrible port and then decide hehe.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I'm kinda leaning towards the PS3 version since I leave my 360 at home when I go to school.

 

[Soapy]

I think I was getting this game confused with another one before.

I really like the art style. Reminds me WoW.

IGN is having a live stream of this game tomorrow!

[Spidey-Bat]

Cool. Any chance they'll have it up later to watch? Don't know if I'll be able to watch it live.

I hate how GameStop gives away bonuses but I'm gonna pre-order this. The extra stuff they're giving almost makes it a limited edition but at normal price.

This is happening right now!

 

[Spidey-Bat]

IGN has the live stream up if anyone missed it. I watched it last night and it looks really fun.

 

[Tron Bonne]

After watching some of that, looks decent but nothing that really grabs my attention. I may give it a rent or something, though

 

[Drz]

I finally watched the IGN 30 min gameplay video myself lol. =) Loving how many different aspects from games they took. Such as the Lancer fights from Gears serie. Loving the designs, loving the world and yeah i don't own a Wii anymore so this is the best thing i can get to Zelda games. =) Really hoping the story will kick-ass aswell.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

The review of Darksiders is up, and they give it nothing more than....10 out of 10...i can´t wait for this game.

I wasn´t expecting anything else from Joe Madureira...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I got a GameStop gift card so I'll definitely be getting it there for the extras. I'm going to pre-order for the 360 and PS3 since I'm still undecided.

Hmm after looking at some of his past scores I would take his reveiw with a large gain of salt. For context I will list some of his past scores that I was able to find.

Shadow Complex 7.5
X-Blades 7.5
Bullet Witch 8.5
Bionic Command 9.5
Prince of Persia 10
Brutal Legend 10+

Yeah Gametrailers, IGN, and Gamespot are who I usually trust for a decent review. Of course I will try the game for myself but those sites generally have professional well written reviews.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I never use GameSpot. They took down a bad review of a game b/c the publisher was paying a lot of ad space. I find IGN inflates a lot of their reviews.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Gametrailers and IGN are my review sources. They tend to agree a good amount of the time and when they don't it's good to hear why.

 

[Drz]

Gameinformer magazine FTW.

If you're talking about the whole Kane & Lynch thing, that's not what happened

How do you know?
That was the rumor anyway, and when a lot of people jumped board after Jeff Gerstmann (with Ryan Davis and Brad Shoemaker went to create Giantbomb, and Alex Navarro went to work for Harmonix), something went down.
