And there was given unto him a great sword - so says chapter six, verse four of The Book of Revelations while describing the arrival of War - one of The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. This is the inspiration behind THQ and Vigil Games' Darksiders: Wrath Of War - the slash-'em up that aims to steal thunder from that other god of war, Kratos.
That in itself is an aspiration worthy of a place in a trial of the gods, but Vigil has made a stellar choice by casting the lead character as War - one quarter of the meanest line-up in biblical history.
