About Darksiders 2
Awakened by the End of Days, Death, the most feared of the legendary Four Horsemen, embarks upon a quest to restore mankind, and redeem his brother’s name. Along the way, the Horseman discovers that there are far worse things than an earthly Apocalypse, and that an ancient grudge may threaten all of Creation . . . Can DEATH really become mankind’s savior? The original Darksiders, released in January 2010, received critical acclaim including the Best Fantasy Game 2010 award from IGN. Darksiders followed the story of WAR, wrongly accused of starting the apocalypse, on a quest to reclaim lost honour and take revenge on those who wronged him.

Man, I love Vigil Games.
Their art by Joe Mad and the voice acting is perfect!
Gameplay was nice, though War is so damn slow it takes too much to to move around which I dislike.
I hope Death is faster and more agile, though I will miss using a sword in this game, I hate big ones like stick or scythe.
Anyways, definitely buying it, they proven themselves to be worthy developers!
2. Having said that, how would you play as Famine? Starve enemies to death? Lol!
Time to rummage in the bargain bin I guess.
Otherwise this looks cool
