Not too long ago while working on my achievements for the recent game I worked on, Darksiders, I noticed some really great guides were put up. Granted, I knew where pretty much everything was but not quite everything. In particular, I really enjoyed the guide 1up put up for it. Great stuff here. Also, I really liked a lot of the fan made youtube vids up for the game. In particular, the Abyssal armor videos were top notch.
Gamasutra just ran a news article on our publisher, THQ, which mentions Darksiders as a major contributing factor to a successful turnaround for the fiscal year.

Just found this announcement that Darksiders has went gold! So everyone will be able to pickup their copy of the game on January 5th in North America (Jan 8th for Europe). I’ve been working on this project for past 2 years so it’s great to see the end result of all of hard work finally. I’ve been planning on putting up some pics of some of my favorite parts of the game but to keep things fair, etc I’m going to hold off til everyone else gets their copies.
Also, just noticed our Lead Designer, Haydn Dalton, also blogged about the release. This is good news and a good way to go into the new year

Spellborn has been gaining speed recently and has announced a shipping date in North America around November 27. It recently received an award for most innovative fantasy based MMORPG as well due to its unique combat system and AI. I’m sure the freedom to design what your avatar wears also helped though (guess).
Darksiders has also been getting a lot of nice attention lately at PAX 2008 earning a lot of favorable comparisons to The Legend of Zelda and God of War
