News by Matt S. The Nintendo Switch port of Darksiders was good stuff. Now we’ve got the sequel to look forward to, with THQ Nordic announcing a September 26 release for the game on Nintendo’s handheld. Darksiders 2 gives you control of Death, the second of the four horsemen of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Red Faction: Guerrilla was a major hit for THQ (as in, the original THQ prior to bankruptcy, not the Nordic Games-renamed THQ Nordic). It soared well over the million units threshold, and was a critical darling too; on Metacritic the aggregate score for PS3 and Xbox…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. There’s a good idea buried deep within Fade to Silence. Blending the survival genre with a frigid, hostile, perpetual winter setting, and the eldritch nightmares of Lovecraft, could have turned into something quite special. Unfortunately, the game’s a failure on just about every level. Firstly, the…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. If Darksiders on its original release was intended to be an entirely straight-faced rendition of the biblical apocalypse, I still can’t help but feel like it’s a tongue-in-cheek joke in 2019. The game’s grimdark setting takes a walk on the absurd side – with hulking stone…

Read MoreReview by Lee F. Sphinx: Curse of the Mummy is an action platformer released back in 2003-2004, depending on region, that had a remastered version made in 2017 for PC. Curiously, the remastered version didn’t see any console releases until now, getting a port to the Switch. It comes to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The influence of Agatha Christie on The Raven is thick, to the point that I needed to go back through the Christie catalogue to confirm that it was an original story and not an attempt to bring a Christie novel to the videogame medium. Christie’s influence,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. With the death of THQ, many of us who were fans of the original Darksiders and its sequel assumed that it would be the last that we saw of the series. Then Nordic Games (now THQ Nordic) grabbed the license for itself, formed up a new…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. I have a very clear image in my mind of how the folks at THQ Nordic decide it’s worth purchasing an intellectual property (IP) or not; it involves a lot of liquor, top ten lists from everyone, and some dartboards. But regardless of how the decisions…
