Abstract: Even Death doesn't know when to call it a dayWell, if the Mayans were right and doomsday is incoming this Christmas, at least it'll be somewhat punctual. 2010′s sleeper hit Darksiders taught us that everyone beyond the realms of our own existence can be j...
While it’s not a huge step up from the original, a break of two-and-a-half years and a bit of polish makes Darksiders 2 easy to recommend. It has issues, but there’s a hell of a lot of game for those who want it.More Like This... More Articles >>> ...

The new weapon and armor system, while difficult to get used to at first, will end up being your best friend, Action is fast and furious while never feeling old or tiresome, Platforming is actually fun – even in the really complex places
Graphics are dated, Ran into a few minor glitches that made me scratch my head, Never seemed to have enough skill points
