THQ took the liberty of running demonstrations of Vigil Games' latest effort, Darksiders: Wrath of War, at this year's E3 – on playable Xbox360 units. Following the trend set by titles such as Devil May Cry 4, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom, Conan, Ninja Gaiden II, Too Human and Viking: Battle for Asgard, Darksiders: Wrath of War is a Current-Generation update of the Scrolling Beat-'Em-Up genre – an unashamed out-and-out Action title.
The player takes control of war battling through wave after wave of nasties, and has an extensive arsenal at their disposal. Scythes, swords and other melee weapons are controlled by the Face Buttons, with guns mapped to the R Trigger. Each can be customised with various enhancements collected throughout the game, which can also be swapped between weapons at a later date. Your armour can also be upgraded by collecting new pieces and getting a Blacksmith to forge a new suit...

Gameumentary: Good afternoon everyone! We're super proud to share with you the official trailer for our upcoming documentary on the Darksiders franchise.
A short opinion piece about the PC version of the upcoming Darksiders Warmastered edition.
When it comes to graphics rarely, but a bit of new content would have made this much more appealing for all gamers, including those on PC.
Lets get real. The PC got this upgrade on day one. All they had to do was crank the graphics to max and run it at 60 FPS.
The "Deathinitive" edition of Darksiders 2 was disgusting anyway. Never seen a game with so much stuttering. I don't think they did anything but to resell it to most of their fans.
I'm a big fan of hack and slash titles like Ninja Gaiden II and Devil May Cry, it's good to see this one's going down the right path! Let's just hope Vigil Games can pull-it-off.
