Penned by legendary comic book artist Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates), Darksiders is set in a Post-Apocalyptic demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time. Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Players take on the role of WAR -- the first of the Four Horsemen -- as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance and revenge against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed RUIN. The first title from new THQ studio Vigil Games, Darksiders: Wrath of War features open-world exploration, a deep combat system and a huge arsenal of modern and mythical weapons. [THQ]

Bayonetta is a stylish and cinematic action game directed by creator Hideki Kamiya. A member of an ancient witch clan and possessing powers beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, Bayonetta faces-off against countless ethereal enemies, many reaching epic proportions, in a game of 100% pure, unadulterated all-out action. Outlandish finishing moves are performed with balletic grace as Bayonetta flows from one fight to another. With over-the-top action taking place in stages that are a veritable theme park of exciting attractions, Bayonetta pushes the limits of the action genre, bringing to life its fast-paced, dynamic climax combat.

yeah, i like the idea of darksiders. a bit more of a grown up zelda with the added bonus of not needing a fucking wii.

Last comment = FAIL...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii is an awesome game and a match for anything the 360 has produced so far.

Just a pity there aren't any other good games on the Wii...

Both look good finally something to spend my xmas gift cards on!

Thats the spirit Big MAcka.

If I had the spare cash, I'd get both, as it is though, it'll be Bayonetta, and then i'll pick up Darksiders when we get the supplier sorted for my place

Will be getting Darksiders, got a 3 day weekend so thats my weekend sorted. Was hoping to go on the drink but this bloody snow is making it bloody difficult!!

deffo darksiders for me as well reviewers talk out of there asses no game is 100 percent nothing is ever that good lol

Defo getting Darksiders when i have some spare dough. Im laughing at all the people who pre-ordered it off the net and now they realize that Royal Mail are extremely slow cos of the snow at the moment haha!

Would like to buy both but lack of funds atm, Darksiders looks like my kinda game. Will pop in Asda whilst doing some shopping and see how much it is. Gonna hold off until Mass Effect 2 anyways, kinda want that abit more than Bayonetta.
