90-minute Darksiders demo to storm the PS3 and Xbox 360
Darksiders flew under the radar for most people. However, THQ plans on rectifying this by releasing a full blown demo or slice of the game to the populous. No other publisher has done this in the past and it is a risky move that could pay off.
Surprisingly enough, Darksiders a game published by THQ flew under the radar despite the positive reviews. I would say that Dante’s inferno, a game that scored lower than Darksiders, received much more attention. It’s unfortunate but THQ plans on fixing this oversight by releasing a mammoth sized demo onto the PSN and Xbox Live.
The demo is said to clock in at 90 minutes. Regular demos usually last less than 20 minutes. The demo will contain two boss battles and an entire level/section. Its definitely a bold move but smart one as well. The hype around Darksiders has pretty much died out providing a perfect opportunity to remind everyone why this game is good. The demo is set to release February 25.

This is a great idea. More publishers should do this. At the least this news will make me download the demo when it is available and check it out. If I like it then I might just be tempted to buy it.

This game is $39.99 on Amazon right now. I think I’m picking this and Bayonetta up today, as I get an additional $10 off due to past purchases, and I’d like to use that before it expires in March.

Exactly what I have been saying. And it will stop some of the shovelware.

Except they should be forced to make demos.
February 17th, 2010
I would not spend that much time on a demo, I think they should includde demos with everything unclocked and mp mode

I just don’t like having to go through another 1:30 of the the same stuff after I get the game. It would be nice if the save file was recognized.

Phranc, did you find out if you can visit previous levels in Bioschok 2?
im going to be home all day today and im trying to spend serious time on the SP mode
February 17th, 2010
Haven’t played it in a couple of days.
February 17th, 2010
You can’t visit previous levels. If you missed something you need to start again. I missed the ’9-Irony’ trophy. I’m playing hard mode now.

February 17th, 2010
LMFAO! That’s mad, I just loaded up UT3 to attempt the plat then I read your comment. Ooh spooky lmao. I’ve always been a geek liquid, COD:WOW is the hardest one so far, Vet pissed me off, I even broke a joypad lol.

“COD:WOW is the hardest one so far,”
Same here Oldie, i will never forget “Heart of the Reich” level on vet.. Grenade spammers
February 18th, 2010
Try Demon’s Souls oldschool
February 18th, 2010
Yes the Heart of Reich level is where I broke the joypad, the last 2 gunner positions lol. Took me 3 fucking hours!
I got DS Roca I got to the 2nd level without dying and then a boulder crushed me from behind with no warning so I thought fuck this game lol.
February 18th, 2010
have you tried plat Resistance 2?
February 18th, 2010
Nope, I hate online time consuming trophies with a passion, I like variety in a game, if I keep playing matches online I would shit a brick lmao. It’s taking all my patience to do Bioshock 2 platinum, Level 22 atm, going to take my time. Nearly got Dante’s Inferno plat though… how good is that game? It’s not the best but it’s definitely good.

I loved FF12, one of the most innovative RPG on the PS2.
oh btw, the second optional hidden boss was even harder…I spent a whole month “just” trying to find him. You have to go through this maze to get to him, but if you take the wrong turn you start all the way back at the beggining. there was no “on-screen” map, there was no map in the strategy guide, no map online…..it was rediculous! when I finally found him I was dead within seconds. the Enemy Weapons in FF7 were a piece of cake compare the the ones in FF12

@Phranc
you were right, you cant revisit previous levels in Bioschok 2. why the hell would they do that? it makes no sense. I already missed some shit in Ryan’s Amusements.
and why is the new splicer [the football player looking guy] is as tough as a big daddy? I wasted all my ammo on one of them mofos

“and why is the new splicer [the football player looking guy] is as tough as a big daddy? I wasted all my ammo on one of them mofos”
They’re probably trying to make up for the lack of different type splicers from the first one.
But, I hear ya.. the bastard is a tough mofo. I getting tired of the camera telling me everyone is vulnerable to anti personnel bullets…..it’s like….duuuuuhhhhhhhhh…..
