Death is eternal in new Darksiders II trailer
Here's a grim, brooding trailer for Darksiders II, bigging up its grim, brooding protagonist. I am so stoked for this game it's not even funny. If you haven't already, check out Wesley's great preview of the game. He got to check it out in detail, and seemed suitably impressed. Can't argue with that! Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I can't wait for it either, I just hope it'll be as good (or as surprisingly good!) as the first one was. That video contained some of the WORST Photoshopping I've seen in some time.
The Francis Bacon ripoff made me chuckle. Damn, I loved the first one. I haven't even finished it. I'd get a move on for this but things with the university things. Damn things. I'm pretty stoked for this. I finally got around to trying out the first Darksiders and have been enjoying it. Here's hoping for good things for Darksiders 2. It's a shame that they show all this neat classic art with death in it (and his silly Casey Jones hockey mask) then the Death you get to play as looks like he jumped off the side of a meth dealer's windowless van. Don't like the design of his mask much, it reminds me of the hockey mask Casey Jones wore in the 2007 TMNT film. I'd rather he had and actual skelington skull or at least a mask that looked like one. Every trailer for this game brings me closer to wanting this game, which brings me closer to finally buying the first one. Still can't get over the bulky designs though. Death and War either take A LOT of steroids or they have an amazing exercise regiment which consists of lifting 200 pounds of steroids a couple hundred times a day. I seriously had a ton of fun with Darksiders when I bought it on a whim thanks to steam sales. I won't make the same mistake passing this up like I did the first. 12:00 PM on 05.24.2013 Sold: Green Man Gaming has Tomb Raider for $13.60When a well-received big-budget game falls below that magical $20 price point, I'm in. Green Man Gaming has an excellent deal on Tomb Raider which drops the PC version from $49.99 all the way down to $16.99. And with the promo code GMG20-LLASD-D8WBQ, it's $13.60. Yes, that is ridiculous! Act sooner than later, as the deal is good through the rest of the day.
