Darksiders for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

Playing as War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, you're sent to Earth to preside over the end times, except you are sent early. You're left to fight off the forces of heaven and hell, so it's all about shredding demons and massacring angels. Most elements of gameplay, puzzle-solving and character enhancement look copied from other games. But this game still is moderately successful.
