Following hot on the heels of last week’s Sleeping Dogs and New Super Mario Bros. 2 is THQ’s massive adventure Darksiders II. Martin thought it was an epic quest worth going on, awarding it an impressive 8/10 in our Darksiders II review.
Also definitely worth picking up is the PC edition of Dark Souls, with the Prepare to Die subtitle indicating some new content not found on Xbox 360 and PS3. Assuming the PC port isn’t abysmal, this should be the definitive version of game we already liked a lot.
- Darksiders 2 – Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
- Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition – PC
Worth a look
Activision and High Moon’s Transformers sequel is looking promising, but we’ve yet to get final code so are holding off from giving it a full recommendation. Still, there’s a decent demo to try out on Xbox LIVE and PSN, so you can make your own mind up.
