The other day, I was very excited to experience Darksiders for the PC. Since I gave my XBOX 360 to my brother and since my computer is pretty good, I thought Darksiders would be a fun game to check out. A friend of mine had a Steam product key for sale and since he didn’t play computer games he gave it to me for a pittance. I read the comic book that came with the game first. The comic was very interesting, there were a lot of powerful characters and archetypes speaking strong ideologies and rhetoric toward each other. The story seemed compelling so I attempted to play the game.

To my dismay, when I was trying to fight the first battle with this gigantic demon all that was happening was that my screen kept spinning around in a circle. I had no idea what was going on. I could press the escape button to go to the options menu, but when I attempted to configure my keyboard controls…all I could do was look at some xbox controller thing which was weird because this is the PC version.

I tried looking around on forums and no one had an answer. So I loaded the game up again and then looked at the controller mapping section. I thought to myself, “Does this game need to be patched for the PC or something? Didn’t this game come out years ago…weird.”

Then I closed the game and tried checking my email. But then my email wasn’t working because the internet was lagging like a chinchilla trying to do the 100 meter dash through a waterfall made out of molasses.

The next thing I did was stare at my desktop for about 30 minutes while thinking about how many times I’ve been wronged in my life. Then it hit me! “I bet since this game was originally intended for consoles like XBOX 360 and PS3 etc…it is probably thinking that I want to use my controllers as the input for the game!”

So then I turned my computer back on and then unplugged my gamepads from my computer. Then next time I loaded up Darksiders, instead of showing a controller mapping section, it brought up the keyboard binding configuration within the options menu.

I’ve only played the game for a little while so far, but overall I love it. It reminds me of God of War for PS2 and other intense action games. Very good voice-acting as well. I think one of the latest achievements of games lately is the insistence on quality voice-acting. It’s as if you get to be in the middle of a movie with awesome people.

I’ve lost this list so many times in my life. If you want to see a review or guide of any of these just leave a comment below. This list is not complete either. I’ve beaten many more but I’ve forgot about a lot of them.

Since I want to one day make my own games. I guess you could call all this…”research.” Although it was fun research!
