Darksiders I

            If you’re a big gamer or a person fascinated with the concept of Heaven and Hell then the game Darksiders is definitely for you to try.  The intro takes place in New York City where people are living their day to day lives, when all of a sudden the chaos begins.  All of Heaven reign down upon earth and the floor of the earth is opened, and Hell unleashes its beasts.  A war occurs among Heavens angels and Hells demons.  A seal that was to remain intact was broken, thus releasing your main character, War; one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. 

            Now when you begin playing and you see your character, you’re going to say “holy sh** this guy is awesome”!  At the same time your character is totally confused as to why he is there, because it was yet the time for his true arrival and at the same time War was sent alone, without his other three brothers.  As the war rages across New York City, you can see how small the people are compared to the angels and the demons, which is really cool to see the perspective of the game makers’.  The Charred Council created the Four Horsemen and the laws (seals) were set to preserve peace until it was time for the endwar.  There are some really main characters introduced early in the game such as: Uriel, Abaddon, and a huge demon named Straga.

            When war comes across Straga a battle is fought.  A horn is blown about three times and the Horseman War begins to slowly lose his abilities, thus enabling him to lose the match against Straga.  So when war dies he’s sent to the in between where the Charred council resides.  If you ever decide to play this wicked game you actually feel pity for your character.  The Council believes that War broke the seal of the Four Horsemen, so War is forced to provide the Council proof of his innocence.  As War is talking, he interrupts the Council and says “How long have I been here”?

            So when the Council opens a portal to send War back to earth, everything is completely destroyed and humans are extinct.  Much of the war between the angels and demons still occurred, but not much was left.  Now I don’t want to give TOO MUCH info as to what happens in the middle and the end, but I will say this, Wars journey is very long but very cool and the ending is pretty shocking.  If you decide to download this game on your game system then prepare to have a case of energy drinks, because once you pick up that controller I swear you won’t be able to put it down.
