I wonder how long games like this can ride the God of War gravy train before it derails and hopefully destroys the copycat game designers in the process.
Since the game is destined to fail at least TRY something new for once.

This game was boring, and bayonetta was bigger, better, and more boob-uh I mean bad ass. I hope he doesn't consider bayonetta a gow clone, it's not it's an evolution of devil may cry, which predates gow. Sorry nerdgasm over.
The crack about the folks who like Warhammer 40,000 made me chuckle, though I hasten to point out I don't resemble a gelatinous creature, no sirree! Ghillie suits made out of pots and pans sound awesome though.
Personally I think Darksiders is more a ripoff of just Zelda and Portal myself, but eh.
Was an absolutely brilliant review, I was laughing my head off all the way through.

Really? I just read Age of Apocalypse two months ago (thanks Library!) and it was pretty awful. Maybe it's just because I didn't read it at the time that it came out. Plus some kid had drawn genitals and nipples on all the women. That doesn't help (gee thanks, Library :/)s69-5 said:
I thought he was doing all right on Battle Chasers, but yeah his work tends to switch between way-too-busy and proper.
Plus I kinda hate him because he quit doing a job I'd kill for so he could waste ten years trying to make a videogame.
Videogame gets spell-checked?
How is Bayonetta one of the God of War rip-off's since it is made by the guy who did DMC1, a much better game that came before God of War? If anything God of War ripped off Devil May Cry while Bayonetta improves on what made DMC1 so great compared to its sequels.
Seems someones just a GoW Fanboy. Mabye he just has a thing for angsty musclebags, who knows. Regardless next week is gonna be fun if this is how he "views" it.

Wow. This ZP was one of the better ones I've seen in a good long time.
$5 says that by the time GoW III comes out Yahtzee will be so sick of it he'll just hate on it more than usual.

Yahtzee was as good as ever. It's intresting how his line-up for the immideate future are three God of War ripoffs, and then an actual game from God of War series. Dig at Warhammer 40k is just icing on the cake, but anyway - FUCK YEAH!
Idea of ghillie suit made of dinner ware is a fine idea, though. Where can i get one?

Such a shame that a game that look so good has such a bad combat system
Funniest review in a while IMO
"For the love of god... of war" hahaha

Sweet Borg reference!
I have yet to see more than a couple of screenshots of this game but after the many reviews I've seen on it (including this one, of course) I don't think I'm missing out on this game at all.
At PAX09 the Darksiders booth featured a mechanical bull dressed up like the demon-horse from the cover. People lined up to ride it, it seemed pretty cool (no way in hell was I going on that thing, I like my bits & pieces where they are, thanks) but nowhere did I see the actual game featured. So many other booths had dozens of screens and speakers shouting about how amazing their new game was. Not so much with Darksiders, just ride the damned "horse" and remember what our game is called...please. This should've been tip enough that it wasn't a worthy title, even the devs/publisher didn't see fit to feature it.
