Darksiders II follows the exploits of DEATH, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in an action-packed tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. This epic journey propels DEATH through various light and dark realms as he tries to redeem his brother WAR, the horseman blamed for prematurely starting the Apocalypse in Darksiders.

I loved the first Darksiders. It was basically a more violent Zelda in many ways, but it had bags of charm and was, most importantly, fun.

Can't wait for the next one.
