Death strikes again in new Darksiders II trailer
A while ago, THQ released a Darksiders II trailer in which Death jumps around and hits stuff. Here's part two, with Death jumping around even more and hitting even more stuff. He also turns into the Grim Reaper, which jumps around and hits stuff. Cool. I'm pumped enough for the game and can't wait to get my salty digits on it. Looking forward to it indeedy-do!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Why does Death have nipples? Do they serve as back-up weapons when he loses a handle on his scythes,maybe some form of skin shurikens? Do they dispense streams of venom or a cloud of miasma or bullets or even lasers? 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.
