While July seems to be a slow month for games, August looks to pick up for the slack with some big releases. Among these big releases is one that holds the fate of a company in it's hands. THQ's financial woes have been well documented and it has seem to come down to this game to bring them back from the brink of destruction. With the weight of an entire company on their shoulders, Vigil Games looks to be creating a phenomenal game in Darksiders II. When the first Darksiders was released back in 2010, it was easily overlooked by many as just another God of War clone. I was among those that overlooked Darksiders for it's heavy influences from God of War and The Legend of Zelda until I tried the demo. While Darksiders did borrow a lot of key mechanics from God of War and The Legend of Zelda, Vigil implemented them in such a way that it was just fun to play and explore this rich new world.
With Darksiders II only a few weeks away from release, THQ and Vigil have released a new story trailer that I would like to share today. Unlike the story trailers that were released before, this trailer is made up of all in-game footage. This trailer gives gamers one last glimpse at the game before it releases and it is one great glimpse. There are brief snippets of action mixed with little teases of what will be in the game from riding Death's horse to fighting a dark version of War that get me excited to play this game. First I need to complete the first game then I will most likely pick up Darksiders II when it releases for the Wii U later in the year. Until then enjoy watching this great trailer.
