  • Abstract:  If ever a game could be called a love letter to a bygone era, it's Darksiders. This game features more homage to past games in the action/adventure genre than I could count on both hands. The game's strongest point is that the developers knew just the rig...

  • Essentially, when it’s all said and done, Darksiders is a fun game and it’s a great addition to the Action-Adventure genre that pays homage to the best, but doesn’t really do too much that we haven’t seen before. Taking all things into consideration, ...

  • Abstract:  Review of the action-adventure button masher Darksiders. The player takes control of the Horseman War in a post-apocalyptic Earth. He is accused of causing the end of man and sets out clear his name. War sets out to do what he does best, War.Story - W...

  Published: 2010-01-22, review by: gamechronicles.com

  • Abstract:  Darksiders is the ultimate homage to the past two decades of action gaming. Borrowing on the best parts of the best games of this and the last generation systems, Vigil Games has crafted something truly unique and greater than the sum of its familiar ...

  Published: 2010-01-22, review by: blogcritics.org

  • Abstract:  It is a shame Darksiders decides to trudge through its final hours. The pace-killing puzzles, including a section of the game asking War (the player’s character) to ignite three lights to draw power to an ally is too much. Everything about it feels tac...

  • Lead by renowned comic artist Joe Madureira, the Texas-based studio broke onto the gaming scene just after New Year's with their action-adventure title Darksiders, a tale of warring powers and the most unlikely hero we've ever seen. It is present day in N...

  • Abstract:  We're only a couple weeks into 2010 but already it's getting interesting. Darksiders, the debut effort of fledgling company Vigil Games, may just be the sleeper hit of the year. At first glance, the game has obvious gameplay similarities to Sony's G...

  Published: 2010-01-12, review by: arstechnica.com

  • Abstract:  Exactly how Darksiders hasn't stirred up controversy is a bit of a stumper. The game draws from Revelation, the apocalyptic last book of the Bible, and lets players take on the role of a Horseman of the Apocalypse who wantonly slaughters both angels ...

  • Abstract:  It started life as an unknown game from an untested studio, but as we drew closer and closer to Darksiders' release date, people started to take notice. The incredible art design, the promise of an "M-rated Zelda" and the significant badass factor of ...
