Today is all about me shedding light on discounted Shadows (Assassin's Creed, that is). I'm also spotting a number of The Last of Us, Tekken 8, and a buncha good Batman games bargains. Don't take my word for it, though. Get scrolling to get saving and thank me later or not at all.
Meanwhile, in retro news, I'm celebrating the 15th bday of Darksiders, progenitor of a series that really should've continued today instead of only being remastered and spun-off. My memories of reviewing it before launch were that of pleasant surprise. This was basically an edgier, post armageddon Ocarina of Time where you hewed through hellspawn and angels alike as the impossibly cool and brooding War, a horseman tricked into starting judgment day too early. Whoops!
Darksiders didn't exactly gallop action-adventuring forward, but it was still an intoxicating amalgamation of 2000s-era mechanics and concepts (see: Portal...portals). It's totally worth saddling up for to experience Kardashians-esque deity drama, slick Joe Mad comic visuals, and to finally see what War is in fact good for. And that's stylish mass slaughter with a sword the size of God's own letter opener.
