Darksiders: The Art of Plagiarism

Darksiders wasn’t a game that we had looked forward to playing, somehow it missed our radar and then landed in our lap after all the good things and bad things we have heard about it, two contradicting views that got us intrigued. Our verdict is that it isn’t a bad game, and depending on what kind of gamer you are, it might even be worth your time or money. I’ll get right to the point and say it, Darksiders lacks … More…
