Darksiders
Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth. Darksiders, originally known with the subtitle Wrath of War, is an action-adventure video game developed by Vigil Games and published by THQ. The game takes its inspiration from the apocalypse, with the player taking the role of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The PC version was released in North America on September 22, 2010 through Steam, at retail and through OnLive September 23, 2010, in Australia September 23, 2010 and in Europe September 24, 2010.
