From out of nowhere

Seriously, how much have you heard about Darksiders? I remember hearing something about "four horsemen game blah blah" a long time ago and nothing else until now. And even now you're not hearing much about it, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that it's coming out on the same day as Bayonetta. Regardless of any of this, after playing the first four hours of it last night / this morning, I heartily suggest you give this game a look. I assure you, it's not the God of War clone it appears to be. Darksiders borrows ideas from many games including GoW but is structured more like a Legend of Zelda game. Traverse an overworld whilst fighting monsters, enter a dungeon, solve puzzles and fight more monsters, find an important weapon/item, slay a boss with said weapon/item, collect fancy trinket, then repeat a few more times. But damn is it fun and addictive. I started playing it rather late and got through the first hour or so, then the game opened up a bit and I was confronted with the first dungeon. I figured since it was the first dungeon that it wouldn't take too long to complete. Boy was I mistaken, as it was totally epic and took a few hours. The combat actually kind of reminds me of the Fable games, except for the Ninja Gaiden 2-style kill moves. The one thing for me so far that truly stands out in Darksiders is the freaking awesome art style. It's some really imaginative and colorful stuff. 
 
So needless to say I like this game. Are any of you looking forward to it? Did you know it even existed?!
