As most gamers know THQ has a lot riding on the success of Darksiders II. The game is supposed to come out in early summer. But there has been some disturbing recent news that the game might be delayed. 2011 was not the greatest year for THQ, and Darksiders may be the only way out of the hole.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.

"Vigil Games may not be around anymore but their 2 Darksiders games really raised the bar for 3D action adventure games. Let's take a look at both titles' gameplay and worlds and see which one emerges victorious." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
Gimme Metro.
They're certainly hyping it up (particularly the Wii U version) enough to make them some money.
Metro last light where its at.
I'm looking forward to DS2.
I think Darksiders and Metro are 2 franchises im sure that THQ could well and truly sell.
