Ben-DutkaIf the rumored North American release date for Bayonetta proves true, we could be looking at a definite action battle in the early part of January.
Why? Because THQ has just announced that their long-awaited and highly anticipated action/adventure title, Darksiders , is slated to arrive in the US for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 5. It'll be available in Europe a few days later. Developed by Vigil Games, this is a game that has been on our radar for quite some time and although it was expected to hit store shelves this fall, THQ clearly wanted to give the designers some extra time. It features the art style of revered comic book artist Joe Madureira, and you will step into the large boots of War, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The setting is the earth – or a fantastical earth, rather – a century after the prophecies of the biblical tragedy come true. It'll be your job to restore balance between Heaven and Hell as demons and all sorts of nasties traverse the battle-torn earth, lost and intent on wreaking havoc. For more media and information, be sure to check out the official site , and we've also got a couple videos for you as well:
It looks like a healthy dose of over-the-top brutality in all respects, and as we just said, if Bayonetta also launches on the 5th, action aficionados may have a tough decision to make. Would you rather control the sleek, sexy witch or the muscular, bad-ass dude that kinda reminds us of Gears of War ? Well, it'll probably all come down to reviews, now won't it?

Brutality FTW!
i'm not buying any multi plat games. the last one i bought was batman and that was worth it. but i wasnt companies to start using the whole 50gb. if it ain't exclusive i ain't buying it. I'll just wait till heavy rain and GOW 3 comes out while i continue playing all the sweet exclusives we have right now
Same here, this game just looks like brutal fun! The last multiplat I bought was Madden 10.
Phew. I saw the speculation on PSLifeStyle and they have since corrected it. Looking forward to trying this one out.
Wow GoW, MAG, White Knight Cronicles, GT5, Bio Shock 2, FF XIII, and supposedly Killzone 3, Resistance 3, and now Dark Siders 2010 is already looking great I feel sorry for my wallet already lol.
I laugh at your wallet!
Muaha.

This game looks good but I need a demo or review before I make a purchase. I just read an article talking about xbox live going up to $100. The fanboys are going nuts!!!!LOL
Me too, thats hilarious, but who would want a free online experience? Pshhh…probably no one. Please charge us Sony, please! Haha, stupid M$. Well this is a good thing for us PS3 gamers, think about it, we better get ready for a lot more players on the PSN, were gonna see a lot more people switching to PS.

Microsoft: unreliable and pricy. This game looks excellent!
I've been gettin those stupid spam msg's in my psn from ppl who are gonna get takin off my friends list if they don't stop. They are from someone from this site too 🙁
I haven't gotten any and am friends with a few people from here…I would defriend and block anyone who spammed me though.
Passing on this game, waiting for bigger better ones. I'll be curious to see how many trades of this my store gets however. Feels like it's gonna be InFamous and Prototype all over again.
This game, genuinely looks awesome!
Though a tad unpolished so far but sweet.
january febuary are the new october november these days.
but this was a MASSIVE! mistake.
this would of sold well because theres no other game like it out this year.
next year?
well lets see.
bayonetta.
dantes inferno.
GOW3
GOW collection (if EB are to be trusted)
darksiders would of been much much much better off releasing this year.
meh, its your money.
Hmm, good point. It could get lost in the shuffle of similar games.
I remember Joe Madureira when he was a high school intern working at Marvel during my time working for Bob Harras in the X-Men office. Even then, people were wowed with his art.
Ah, those were interesting times, I was there for the launch of McFarlane's Spider-Man 1, Lee's X-Men 1, and X-Force 1.
I was also there when Harras fired Claremont.
one of the 4 biggest action/adventure titles i must get
along with GOW3, Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno
