I read the first part of the title and thought this was about Guilty Gear.
Now, I realize the horrible reality of being wrong

It's funny you two said that because I had it confused with Darkstalkers. I was expecting a new HD version with a titulating spread of everyones favorite vampire savior Morrigan.

I wish Capcom would make a new Darkstalkers game.

Read up on your Dogma. WAR is one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Technically he's an angel. But in original Judeo/Christian dogma, Angels weren't all sweet and pretty with halos and harps. There were many types of angels, and alot were created and used to do God's dirtywork. (Angels of wrath, indignation, petulance, revenge, etc....).

I finally let my Play subscription run out last year (For every good thing they do, they sully it up with incessant fanboy bs and raving/whining "omg, I can/can't play as a hot chick in this game!"
My last issue was their Darksiders cover though, and the interview completely sold me on the game. Zelda + Metroid + Open World + Devil May Cry = Instant buy for me.
Couldn't find the article online, unfortunately...

Zelda + Metroid + Open World + Devil May Cry you say? Well, when they add some Mario Kart component then they have themselves a sale.

I first saw this in play also and immediately was sold on it. The artwork that they had looked utterly amazing and i was extremely impressed with it all. I see the trailer and i a even more impressed, i did not see any talking going on so i still question that. I would hope they have some dialogue.
The whole heaven hell thing did make me think of guilty gear also.
I am a little disapointed at the few comments on this but i also know that play is not a fanboy magazine so it doesnt get the same burn as OXM or GAME INFORMER which has a bigger base. But this video does not show or describe the article that play had.
Oh and this is as a must buy for me.

Yeah in regards to the artwork, one of the leads used to draw for a little comic called the X-Men.
Totally badass

Like God of War meets World of Warcraft. Awesome!

I too saw God of war in this, which is a great thing...
Since I won't be getting to play God of War III, my only regret of not haveing a PS3, this game seems like a pretty good alternative.
Good story, appears to have good gameplay, and graphichs are decent....
Good enough for me.
And they have like a 10 min. vid up on IGN of gameplay.

I'm sure the this is going to go over well with religious advocacy groups.

If one allowed a video game, of all things, to question their faith, then maybe one has more problems than they're willing to admit.

That looked surprisingly well. The only thing that would make it better is two separate campaigns and an ability to choose between Heaven and Hell.

Wow, I can't say I was too excited about this game, but god damn that was an impressive trailer. Brilliantly stylized character designs, and over the top action. Devil may what? Who of war?

By the title I thought it was about Black Sabbath w/ Dio fighting for Earth.
Would be a lot cooler if it was.

And so the plot ideas for Brutal Legend 2 begin to emerge.

Looks absolutely beautiful. Cool concept too regarding Heaven and Hell.

The "concept" is actually the book of Revelations

Usually, I don't like the cliche, but when we're talking about War itself, a Horseman of the Apocalype, I think an exception can be made.

I like the concept, I like the look, let's see if the battle system is as fun as the trailer.

Ok - this is going on my "to buy" list. Hopefully, a demo get's released on either the PS3 or Xbox360 to truly try out the game play. In any event, August 29th, 2009, is the release date given in GameInformer. Hope they are correct. Sweet.

I remember playing a demo level for this at PAX '08. Thought it had a lot of potential and now it looks bad ass. So I'm guessing they will drop a proper demo around PAX 09' time unless the release date gets pushed (Hoping they stick to Aug. 29th also)

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well!

The angels in this game remind me of Tyrael from Diablo.
looks pretty enticing to say the least.

I too have the issue of play magazine with this as the cover story, very cool how they approach this game! I'm really looking forward to this game!

Wow, after that trailer i'm sold. That looks like god of war on sterioids. The sword he's got could do some mean damage. This is know on my to be watched list, and the to buy list.

This is the game that Too Human SHOULD have been. Looking forward to it!

Is it just me or does War look like Arthas from Warcraft 3? In fact...the visual style reminds me of Warcraft 3 a lot...not that that's bad, I like that game but I couldn't help noticing the similarities.

Eh. The Blizzard South art style of the main character turns me off on levels I can't even begin to comprehend. The idea seems decent enough, but... oh god that character looks awful to me.

Holy crap, the music sent a damn shiver up my spine. www.darksidersvideogame.com -- WTF is this a movie i want to see or a game i want to buy...?

i walked into GameCrazy one day a couple months back and they had the TV on playing a video. i asked them "what movie is that you guys are watching" and they said, "actually, it's not a movie, it's a new game called Darksiders that everybody here is really excited for". it was instantly on my radar then since that's probably the only time i walked into GameCrazy and didn't already have a sound knowledge on every game they had or had advertised. it looked pretty frickin awesome. only thing that has me a little reserved is that THQ is making it and i haven't had much luck with THQ games over the years so i typically try to avoid them. maybe this changes that though.
