See I was convinced they wouldn't let you play as Death because the accompanying comic/general mythos has portrayed him as invincible, healing instantly from War's sword and then cutting off his arm. Heck, why am I complaining? He's the coolest looking of the three non-playable horsemen, bring him on!

Selling "You play as Famine/Pestilence" is going to be harder for any successive sequels.

Was I the only one slightly surprised by Death's voice? For some reason I was expecting it to be deeper, no idea as to why.

This. 
 
I rented the first one around the time it came out but never finished it.  I'm not sure what happened.  Maybe some other game distracted me from it or maybe I just lost interest, but I sent it back to Gamefly and never looked back.  Though, in retrospect I wish I would have just played the damned thing. 
  
At least I can find it now at a bargain.

I had this discussion with a friend yesterday. My theory is that they put Famine and Pestilence in a facebook game :)

Got my platinum in the first game.  Hopefully this one is good enough that I want to do the same!

I am following every single insignificant detail about this game and making the wiki as I go =D 
To say I enjoyed the first game alot would be a huge understatement, I have two copies and an S rank to prove it! lol

Loved Darksiders, very much wished it would've gotten more praise from the GB crew.
Can't wait for Darksiders 2, more biblical mythology based games please!

And I'm instantly regretting selling my copy of Darksiders.  I always intended on S ranking that piece.

The more I think back on it, the more I'm beginning to think I actually enjoyed Darksiders to ME2. Silly comparison, but I spent far more time in the actual world and had such a blast tearing up demon ass in post-apocalyptic earth. 
 
Plus the design was just incredible. 
 
D2 may very well be my most anticipated game in the next year. At the very least, it's close to the top. 
 
To those of you who haven't played it: dive in. There are very few npcs and no towns to speak of (two things the sequel would benefit from), but what it does provide it does so with a high-level of polish.

Wow 2012 is shaping to be a killer year, so far with Starhawk, Bioshock Infinite and this I'm already feeling my wallet suffering. 
 
@sammo21: I was only missing the health and rage things and was on the last boss on apocalyptic difficulty  when my PS3 died, haven't gone back to get the platinum since, it's just too sad.

Okay, so next one's gonna be Famine, right?

Yeah, no, starving your enemies to death doesn't sound like fun. Pestilence/Conquest it is.

@Apollo87: it took me about 30-45 minutes to get into the game but after that little period of time I got addicted to it. Really fun game.

They drop the names in the first game, the remaining 2 siblings are Fury and Strife. There's a bunch of concept art and similar if you look for it...

@CrimsonNoir: True enough, they did say War wasn't at full strength in the first game and you're still powerful enough to tear angels in half, so they could easily do the same here with Death.

This.  Definitely would LIKE to get excited about this, but it's hard since I never played the first one.

HELL YES. Darksiders was one of my top 10 last year. It seemed like a sleeper hit. I'm glad Vigil is giving us more.

@Alphazero: I think that's why the article is title "A natural tetralogy seems to be emerging in dark siders" ;)

This makes me want to play Darksiders 1 real bad. Death got an almost John Hurt voice going on, interesting but in a good way.

Actually what I got out of the trailer was that Death's story takes place during the period after War left Earth, when mankind was wiped out post-apocalypse.

Man, Death's face looks a lot like the mask in Splatterhouse. I never played the first game but did play the hour long demo which was awesome.

Loved the first one and even got the platinum trophy. Darksiders 2 is on my most wanted list for sure.

This game looks pretty slick, I like that you play as Death instead of War again.
