Joe Madureira has done a lot of things. He’s worked as a comic book artist for Marvel Comics, and even created his own comic series under the Wildstorm label called Battle Chasers. However, his experience with video games goes back to his time with Realm Interactive, which was later acquired by NCSoft, when he worked on the game that would later become known as Dungeon Runners. Madureira (Joe Mad to his friends) and David Adams eventually left NCSoft and founded Vigil Games in 2005. Since then, Vigil Games has been acquired by THQ, and is currently shepherding the post-apocalyptic franchise Darksiders. At a recent preview event for Darksiders 2 PSLS sat down with Joe Mad, Creative Director on Darksiders 2, to talk about his transition from comics to video games, the core tenets of the Darksiders franchise and even secret Nintendo assassins.

And with the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 28th Jan - 3rd Feb 2020, you'll be able to get access to all manner of cut-price Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles, boosting your digital library in the process."
"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.
The release date has been revealed for The Art of Darksiders II Hardcover Edition.
Sounds like it's bigger, better and more badass
Yeah, like they've really went all out on this one.
Definitely looking forward to this game.
I'm glad he finally succeeded in video games . All that while still kicking asses at Marvel
Nice interview
