We've had a lot of perfect tens in recent memory, GTA: IV, Bayonetta and now Darksiders is also carrying the title of a perfect game. The publication in question is the US magazine Play, and that's the same Play that gave Beast Rider a very high score. It's not known if it's the same reviewer though."

Both of these elements have collided to allow them to be the first ones to show off the Achievements and Trophies that will be yours for the unlocking in this steroid-friendly action game.
Gamers will explore a world set one hundred years after the biblical Apocalypse, travelling through expansive dungeons, battling demons and angels and striking deals with unsavoury characters in an epic quest to restore the balance between Heaven and Hell.

PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "Vigil Games Darksiders has been quietly building steam since E3 2008. As God of War's backdrop is Greece, Dante's Inferno is Hell, Darksiders makes the apocolypse the star of the show. As one of the Horsemen you are tasked to discover why the end times were brought on early.
Split-screen: "Darksiders, the PS3/XBox 360 action adventure game of mini-guns and medieval swords mayhem, is on the verge of release and looking awesome. The story itself, wherein you take control of one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War, caught in a battle between angels and demons had me hooked from the get-go. Even more so when it was discovered that Silicon Knights (Eternal Darkness fame, Too Human debacle) has some role in it."
Fans in Sydney, Australia will be treated to a massive orchestral game and anime concert in September. The Eminence Symphony Orchestra is putting on "A Night in Fantasia 2009," featuring music from AFRIKA, Darksiders: Wrath of War, Dragon Age: Origins, Prince of Persia, and the amazing Shadow of the Colossus along with some anime pieces from Astro Boy, Studio Ghibli, and Deathnote to name a few. It should be a great show.
