Darksiders. **** great name.

Darksiders' Wikipedia Page wrote:

The player takes 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.

For more information, I suggest you watch the E3 Stage demo, located below.

Darksiders trailer:
"Darksiders - Book 4: Ruin

Darksiders gameplay:

There's been announced that there will be a Darksiders demo out before Christmas.

They also plan on releasing a demo on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network before the holiday period. "We want to remind everyone that there will be a good reason to hang onto their gift cards." Nothing says Happy New Year like Auld Lang Syne, champagne, and reaping the souls of the undead. Keep checking back for our report on the game, which is looking shiny.

DISCUSS.

Oh. That's what this is. It's really odd actually because they are sponsoring shows on Sky rather a lot just to advertise this game. But everytime it pops up it never shows any gameplay or really explains what the hell it's all about.

So i automatically presumed it was crap and didn't bother paying it any attention. Who's it being developed by?

edit: O THQ or vigil games i suppose. Unproven studio. With THQ publishing tho it's not going to be a big budget game i wouldn't of thought..still the trailer looks good..kinda wowish character thrown into a god of warish world.

That's what I thought, a WoW-ish guy tossed into a God of War-ish place, but it turns out that the game plays only a little like God of War, if anything it's a Zelda game, which makes me immediately want it.
