I’ve been itching to play THQ’sDarksiders: Wrath of Warfor an incredibly long time now. In fact, I was supposed to be previewing the thing in LA several months ago before the event was postponed and never re-booked. Then I find out thatMTV Multiplayernot only got to play it, but also got its talons on a proper nerdy cloth map.
The inclusion of a cloth map will jerk the nostalgic collar of many anUltimafan, and is in keeping with the old school vibe thatDarksidersis hoping to radiate. The game is being described as “Zeldafor grown-ups” by THQ’s marketing folk, and so far I’ve seen nothing about the game that doesn’t appeal to me. The only thing I’m hacked off about is the fact thatIdon’t have a cloth map.
Since whining about not getting free stuff on the Destructoid frontpage hasworked in the past, I am fully expecting to having a piece of clot with nonsensical crap scrawled over it in my mailbox tomorrow. If not, I will firebomb THQ’s office. I know where it is, and I make good on my promises if I’ve had too much whisky.
