Darksiders: Wrath of War is a game that came out of nowhere and instantly became a twinkle in my eye. Now when I first saw this video I immediately thought God of War which is a loft compliment for any 3rd person action adventure game, but once i found out that it’s going to be an open world environment I thought..”OMG IT’S GOD OF WAR MEETS CRACKDOWN!!!!!!”. This game looks hot and this brief summary found on IGN.com makes it sound explosive:

“Penned by legendary comic book artist Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates), Darksiders: Wrath of War is set in a Post-Apocalyptic demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time. Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Players take on the role of WAR—the first of the Four Horsemen—as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance and revenge against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed RUIN. Darksiders: Wrath of War features open-world exploration, a deep combat system and a huge arsenal of modern and mythical weapons.”

Coming out for the PS3 and Xbox 360; lets hope this game gets a solid 2008 release date. I think we all need this in our lives right now.
