Looks like it'll deliver. Dammit im going crazy here, i simply cant decidebetween this or Bayonetta next month.

Playr's pretty reliable, although the reviews aren't in-depth, they give a good outline (which is what i like). Il watch it now.

Their reviews seem kind of... odd... At least I know what the game is about now, so its all good. The game looks alright, not really into these type of games.

Yeah their not a great show, its a cheap british gaming show but its really the only consistent broadcasting one so i watch them. They was never detailed about it because they used way too much filler like that top 5 segment, even so it should be good.

That is still a great score for a new IP.

If Too Human or Lair would have scored an 8 we would have seen sequals already.

Well, if there are a large number of reviews, and the avg score, is like that then it's likely that the game sucks, or won't be as enjoyable as others of the same genre. I really shouldn't have tell you this. 9/10 times if a game is getting very good scores, it's going to be a very enjoyable game or at the very least somewhat enjoyable.

Do you know EDGE magazine? Do you know how harsh they usually are in their scores? Well guess what. They gave Bayonetta a 10. SO GET IT!

Not only is 2010 full of big name hits, plenty of sleeper hits coming around to with Bayonetta and Darksiders.

Good to see the action adventure/hacknslash genre is coming back strong. Dante's Inferno, Bayonetta, Darksiders and of then of course God of war 3

but it got amazing reviews almost everywhere else, and it's not like the same person who reviewed Uncharted will review DarkSiders.

It's his opinion. Sure you said Brutal Legend was a 10/10. I think alot of people (including GS) would disagree with you.

I'd rate it higher if I could.

And he called RW a "crapfest", so obviously we have the same opinion. :)

I never did say about my cousin have have i? he stayed round for 2 months fiancial reasons and he wanted Rogue Warrior i played it, i give it a 4-5/10 gameplay was okay but everything else was rather poor. Darksiders is quite different however. I like the art style and its arcade elements.

I thought you liked it, but I was wrong. And I agree with your assessment. Very poor game overall. Tis sad. I wish Rebellion would would get back in the groove. I fear AVP could be quite the disappointment.

Bah too many games I want to pick up in January. Mass Effect 2 has reserved my first purchase for January. Probably won't be able to afford this or Bayonetta since FFXIII and Splinter Cell come pretty close behind in March.

I've been on the fence for awhile on this game, but this review may put me on the "buy" side. I very well might pick this game up on Jan. 5th. Would be a nice complement to Bayonetta I think.

Actually that what made my cousin excited for Rogue warrior because it was the makers of Aliens vs Predators that i mentioned. I'm the one personally excited for AvP i am alittle cautious but i think it would be good but if it is a flop then yeah Rebellion is a company that i will be very weary of. Too many games in 010 its crazy.

God, I really can't wait for this game. January 5th can't come fast enough. A Zelda game set during the apocalypse, with awesome combat? Yes, please!

Thanks for posting, Bioshock!

Play Magazine has given Darksiders a 10 out of 10.

UK games show called PLAYR gave Darksiders 9.5 out of 10. The point 5 loss is due to the absence of multiplayer.

Game Informer has given Darksiders an 8.5 out of 10.

Game Vortex gave Darksiders a 95 percent.

GamePro gave Darksiders on the PS3 a 92% and the 360 a 91%.

Gamers Temple gave Darksiders a 98%.

all reviews so far taken from the darksiders wiki-page.

No multiplayer = no longevity = definite rental for me

Incredible Hulk + God of War + Devil May Cry = Darksiders
