Now Shipping: Two Thrillers of Apocalyptic Proportions

This week two games released that deal with the angelic realm, mostly the fallen end of the realm. But the differences end there, as one features a sexy, graceful female lead with supernatural powers, and the other features an original super of the supernatural who prefers brute force over grace and style.

Bayonetta uses firepower and an assortment of special magical attacks, many involving her hair, to subdue a legion of demonic enemies. So you could say every day is a bad hair day for Bayonetta. You could say that, but don't because people around you will wonder why you're talking to yourself. The critics agree that the witchy siren provides non-stop action and fun, over-the-top combat, with Famitsu rating it a perfect 40 out of 40, and Game Informer giving it a 9 out of 10, saying, "Bayonetta's non-stop action leaves us with racing pulses."

Darksiders puts a new twist on an age-old icon, War, the first horseman of the Apocaplypse. War has one job to do, and he's been waiting to do it for a very long time. So you can imagine his chagrin when someone kicks off the end of the world prematurely, and he gets blamed for it. Needless to say, War is determined to find out who stole his Apocalyptic thunder, and the usual suspects are less than cooperative. That's when you get to see why he's called "War." Game Informer rated this one 8.5 out of 10, noting its similarities to Zelda and God of War.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if you didn't, but you owe it to yourself to check these two games out. go to gamestop today
