re: Darksiders II
I thought the first one was alright, but for me it got over-shadowed by Bayonetta (which came out on the same day and was by far the better game), and by the time I finished that, I had no interest to go back to Darksiders. And now this one has Sleeping Dogs coming out on the same day...

Went to BB to pick my copy up, and the blue shirt chick asked me what the game was about, since they were selling a lot of them already. That was at 11:15am. I'm not sure what "a lot" amounts to in her mind.

Decided to cancel the DDD order (I hope they do) and rented it today instead. It's more of the same, which is a very good thing.
I also rented sleeping dogs. Stupid Family Video making me put down a 20 dollar deposit to rent sleeping dogs

I loved the desert level. The only place I can think where you might get stuck is beating and winning your horse in the arena. The "Tremors/Dune" worm was freaking epic...both the suspense of avoiding it and eventually fighting it on horseback. Awesome.

A couple of reviews up on Metacritic.
http://www.metacritic.com/game/plays.../darksiders-ii
Along with God of War and Zelda, this one seems to be "influenced" (and I don't mean that in a negative way) by Prince of Persia and Shadow of the Collossus.
You could certainly find worse influences.
Really looking forward to this.

After playing for awhile now, with the way death moves and looks, I find myself thinking I'm playing a very updated version of Soul Reaver. This isn't a bad thing by far as Soul Reaver was an amazing game for it's time.

Oooh, I LOOOVED Soul Reaver.
Yeah this is one of the few games I'm looking forward too this year. I loved the 1st game and I love the Four Horseman(? Because I think in this series, one is a woman)/ Heaven and Hell stuff.
Can't wait to play.

Darksiders 2 Limited Edition ps3 at Deepdiscountdvd.com for 35.99 with free shipping.

I wasn't going to get this, but for that price, why the hell not. It may be cancelled as a pricing error, but doesn't hurt to try.

Reviews very positive overall. 360 version seems to have a few technical issues...not sure if they apply to PS3.

My order is still pending, but not cancelled. So that's a positive.
And glassdragon, if you buy the game from somewhere else hang onto your receipt. Back when ModNation Racers came out (May 2010, I think), I had pre-ordered it from DD on the cheap. Then I wrote in and cancelled the pre-order. Or at least thought I did. They still processed and shipped the game to me about three weeks after release.

Same here...pending.
I'm not too worried about it though. I still have Mass Effect 2 (yes, 2) and Uncharted 3 sitting unplayed.
If they don't come through, I'll likely wait a month or two.

This game is long as hell. I thought I could finish it in 2 or 3 days and then move on to sleeping dogs which I also rented. Day 3 done and just got to the 3rd world, about 14 hours of playtime so far.

re: Darksiders II
Finished this today. Since I have sleeping dogs here I wanted to finish it as quick as possible. So going as quick as possible, on easy, and ignoring any side stuff it took me 17 hours. Pretty good for games now a days. If you want to find everything you are probably looking at closer to 25 or 30.
