With the unfortunate news of Vigill Games not being acquired during the massive THQ auction of the company's assets, some employees have come forward on Twitter to express their grievances.
"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.

"Darksiders II is everything you want from a game."
sums it up pretty much.
absolutely enjoyed Darksiders II
Yeah It was great. I keep meaning to go back to play Argul's Tomb but can never find the time :D
It's sad that Vigil wasn't on the bidders radar
Why?!
Rumors suggest that the IP was picked up, but not the team. Possibly someone thinks they can do the game more justice. It's sad, really. Darksiders games didn't get the credit they deserved.
Good luck to the former employees. Well the vultures had their fill of the carcass, now they just gonna let it rot in the desert.
