Geeko-System

I’m currently playing through Vigil’s Darksiders published by THQ.  The engaging storyline follows War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse on a quest to figure out why the end times were brought forth prematurely.   I’m having a blast playing through the game so far.  The art direction is wonderful, I’ve been a longtime fan of Joe Madureira art ever since his run on Battle Chasers and he hasn’t lost his touch.  Moving from area to area I can’t help noticing that something feels a little too familiar with the setup of the game.  Hints of Zelda, God of War and Panzer Dragoon awaken this feeling of deja vu.  Not in a bad way…actually the game feels like a greatest hits of past game mechanics wrapped in an crispy apocalyptic shell.  Look no further if a dark version of Zelda is what you’re craving.  I highly recommend this title and I can’t wait to finish the game.

If you’re playing through the game, let me know what you think.
