Darksiders II is nearly out in the UK. If you’ve an inbox like mine you may have one or three emails from GAME telling you that you have to act now if you want to pre-order and get the limited edition. If you make a last minute dive for the limited edition you get extra […]
Darksiders 2 – Mankind is no more
Mankind is no more. A causality of the endless conflict between angels and demons. However, in the realm between the angels and demons mankind still has one last hope – the most feared horseman of them all; Death.
A look at the most feared of the four Horsemen
This is a sponsored video placement for the new Darksiders computer game. Darksiders followed the Horseman War. Darksiders II leaps to the most feared of the four Horsemen and follows Death himself. Who do you think of when people talk about the four Horsemen? Death is the only rider named in Revelation but is “Death” […]
Darksiders 2 looking impressive
THQ’s Darksiders 2 is looking pretty impresive. Despite some clever TV sponsorship in front of geeky TV with interesting looking ads – I never picked up Darksiders. I think it’ll be even harder to avoid the temptation of Darksiders 2. Go Death! Who would have thought we’d follow Death through the realms of angels, demons […]
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine classes

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine trailer
Got a video update for THQ’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine game. This is a 3rd persion shooter from Relic using Games Workshop’s popular franchise. We’ve got Orks, Chaos as the Space Marines. They all seem to have soft, Southern English accents – which seems odd to me! Disclaimer; this blogger is Scottish, geography dictates that […]

Darksiders 2: Wrath of War announcement trailer
Okay, I’ll admit that Darksiders might not be 100% RPG goodness but there are elements of the genre in there – besides, the mythology and setting of Darksiders appeals to many native geeks. In Darksiders we delt with the Apocalypse, started by War prematurely – or so we thought. There’s a twist there. In Darksiders […]
Not the sex toy Saints Row: The Third trailer
What’s the difference between an “action RPG” and a “non-linear shooter”? In both cases the emphasis is on running around and blasting things. I think the answer to the question is setting; War in the North is an action RPG because it’s set in Middle Earth and therefore the target market slants towards roleplayers. Saints […]
Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”. In order words, they respect the intellectual property owned by Games Workshop (a company famous for sending the IP lawyers in). You could argue […]
