Death gets dramatic in this Darksiders II trailer
Man, THQ sure loves those Darksiders II trailers. Here's another one, apparently the first of several cinematic videos in which Death jumps about and hits stuff with ludicrous oversized weaponry. Like you'd expect. No gameplay footage, but there's plenty of gorgeous combat to keep fans pumped. After you've watched the video, why not watch this interview that Max Scoville did about the game? Why not? Go ahead, do it, you prick. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I really wanted to like the original Darksiders. I really did. But at about the time that I found Wrath's horse, I pretty much gave up. I felt like I'd seen everything in the game's arsenal and left unimpressed and uninterested, as most of the features were derived from other games that had already done it better. Definitely taking a wait-and-see approach with this title.
