THQ has announced that Darksiders is available starting today, for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In Darksiders, you play as War, one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. As War, you’re out to find who pulled the trigger on Earth’s demise ahead of time. You’ll have to seek, and destroy, whoever was responsible for it. The first reviews for Darksiders are looking pretty positive (see here).
A summary of Darksiders from THQ:
"Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of mankind, WAR – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – must return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible. War must take on the forces of Heaven and Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance. Players harness the apocalyptic power of War, combining brutal attacks and supernatural abilities to decimate enemies who stand in his way. With an extreme arsenal of weapons, War blazes a trail of destruction, and emerges even more deadly atop Ruin, War’s fiery phantom steed."
Darksiders comes from game developer Vigil Games, a studio from THQ. For more details and apocalyptic imagery from Darksiders, visit the official website at www.darksiders.com.
