    I have no reservations recommending it yo you I am pretty sure you will love it. Not that much a relax game though, it's very action heavy and it really kicks my butt on apocalyptic mode. But the Zelda elements break up the pace nicely. It won't be in anybody's top 3 but it's cool as can be.

    It's the Zelda elements which will make it relaxing to play. There's nothing quite like sinking into a comfy seat in pleasant surroundings with a game which says "Here's your tools, now go explore, fight and solve puzzles to get more neat stuff." Or so I believe - in half a lifetime of gaming I have never been able to play while seated completely comfortably or in an environment arranged to my own preferences.

    To be honest I don't know, and I'm almost at the point where I'd happily pay the tax if only it would get me my keys already! I was supposed to have been in for Easter; now they've fouled that up (third 'sure' date which has fallen down and the 2 1/2 month overdue mark) and I can't even find out why because my solicitors won't answer their phone. Remind me why I'm expected to pay these people, and while you're at it do try to convince me that they're working for me instead of against.

    Oh you are going to love it, plenty to explore alright. If there is any list you are keeping I suggest you put on tops, everything that makes games like Zelda and Metroid great (not as good but good enough) is here, but also God of War and Devil May Cry (again not as good but good enough). I am really enthusiastic about this one as you probably have noticed by now, but this is one of the better games I have played for while, and I won't stop spamming it until it gets the love it deserves.

    And congrats on new house.

    edit: forgot about how awesome it is to customize-lite The Horseman, plenty of combo's and passive/active abilities to invest some experience in.

    I've wanted to try this one since release day, but PS3 games are ridiculously expensive, I'm boycotting everything related to this console. Hopefully my bro or gf will buy it :D

    Payed only 20 euro for it, but I wouldn't mind paying 60 for this. I hope they make a sequel.

    Zelda: had your time?

    Great game. I'm in love.

    THQ announced today that there will be a PC version of Darksiders. It's supposed to be released in June.

    Won't work without a gamepad, and I doubt it will find a loving home with the pc-crowd, it couldn't be more of a console title. Just play the damn game if you have it.
