    I can always be sucked in by bright colors and fancy swordplay. DMC, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, they all do it right. This one looks right so far too.

    Please...PLEASE finish Battlechasers, Joe Mad.

    wait.. is this video old? why does it say august 1st while the website, wiki, and my job all have it listed for january.

    anyways, man it was cool seeing joe mad.. i idolized that guy when i was growing up. i first noticed him in late 94 when the age of apocalypse was beginning and he worked on uncanny x-men. my cousin, joe mad, adam pollina, and john cassaday were the most influential artists for me over the years.

    good times. #darksiders

    @Chon: alright guys i know the dates are switched in europe and japan.. but considering its an american game and its not like it said "european trailer" so kinda weird that they didnt put multiple dates on there... that was the farthest thing from my mind.

    especially with delays being a very common thing in this industry. #darksiders

    @Jehuty: Also: Yes. The art is very reminiscent of WoW - and I initially thought it had something to do with it, but it also reminded me of X-Men for some reason.

    @Jehuty: Probably reminds you of X-Men because the artist is Joe Madureira who drew X-Men for a while and was big back then being the first to blend an anime/western art style. He also drew the Deadpool mini series before X-Men. Then he tried his own thing with Battle Chasers which was awesome, but after he stopped drawing comics full-time he kind of dropped off the radar for many who didn't pay attention. He had been doing different commissions and some video game concept art since.

    He was my idol as a young artist growing up.

    Edit: Oh wow! I did not realize he co-founded vigil games and they are working on the Warhammer 40k MMO whoa whoa wee wow! I'm excited to see what space marines look like in Mad's style.

    Interesting. It looks like HoMM5, Zelda and Hellgate: London had a love child, and then gave it bigger firearms.

    @excel_excel: Ok, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, (comes naturally) but you realize this game mimics the progress-mechanic from the Zelda games.

    For example, backtracking to use that hookshot to get to previously unreachable areas, certain skills that need be developed to progress trough certain parts of the game.

    The set-up is the same, it just adds what Zelda always missed, which is brutal combat. You might wanna brush up on the game, there are several previews available. #darksiders

    i tend to really enjoy games that are compared to Zelda- sometimes (in the case of Okami) even more than Zelda... ;)

    i'll be watching this one. #darksiders

    @laser beams: I was in love with Okami, until the part where it didn't end, then I sort of trudged through the last part. Still liked it, but felt like it was artificially extended. Damn I need to make time for another playthrough of that game. #darksiders

    @mabadaba: i think i know what you mean- storywise at least
    *spoilers*
    it seemed weird to fight that legendary demon- and then have the story continue on for an additional 15 hours or so- but i think that was a weird case of unfortunate story pacing- because the game did build and progress in a good way (gameplay-wise) until the very end.

    i still contend that aside from the unusual story (at least from an American perspective) Okami is the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time :) #darksiders

    @laser beams: Yeah, I'm not trying to say I didn't enjoy playing it once it got a little 'weird', but it definitely felt like it should have ended storywise already. The ummm,

    *spoilers*

    spaceish related business with the story felt off to me, like they were trying to explain something away that I preferred to remain mystical. It was a weird choice and made the additional length of the game feel a little artificial, but I still enjoyed the gameplay. Definitely better than the other wolf Zelda. #darksiders
