We talk to creative director Joe Madureira and check out a sexy horse-riding contest!
Darksiders is a new action/adventure title from THQ that we’re pretty excited about. Especially after attending the premiere party in Agoura Hills to check out the game for ourselves. It plays sort of like a cross between “God of War” (which is what I compare all action games to now because I am unimaginative) and “The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction”. In Darksiders, you play as War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Basically, someone started the Armageddon without you, and you’re tasked with killing your way across a post-apocalyptic world to find out who dicked up the master plan and why.
A welcome alternative to the usual spry Little Mac action hero, War is a tank that bashes pissant enemies to mush with his swords and guns and even crushes them under the hooves of his trusty steed, Ruin. Even the bigger enemies feel sort of equal measure to War, which is not to say that they are easy, but rather that you actually feel like you are in a fight as opposed to constantly playing David & Goliath throughout the entire game like many similar titles will force you to do.
We talked to creative designer and comic legend Joe Madureira about his designs for the game and why you should buy tons of copies. It had something to do with making him unimaginably rich, if I remember correctly. While we were there, we also had the good fortune to check out a sexy horse-riding contest! Or more specifically, sexy girls riding a mechanical horse. Not “sexy horses”. That would be weird. Check it out!
When they aren’t off battling robots in an intergalactic war against terror, Boombox Ninjas keep their skills sharp by wrestling space crocodiles, or if there are no space crocodiles around, playing Guitar Hero World Tour.
One of those two activities has been captured below for your enjoyment…
