3. Darksiders
If you like the sound of a Zelda/God of War hybrid, Darksiders is the game for you. Telling the fantastical tale of War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, cast aside due to his failings in accidentally bringing about the end of the world (it was one of those days). The Zelda comparisons are in the steady unlocking of abilities and weapons that allow you to revisit early areas where you previously thought well how am I meant to get up
there? providing the best use of that style of gameplay since the previous years Arkham Asylum. With a firm grasp on telling a story Kratos would be at home in, all roads lead to War and his quest to restore balance to the warring factions of Heaven and Hell, using the likes of his 10ft sword Chaoseater (Oh yes) and taming a flame-eyed steed called Ruin, who then allows you to traverse the gameworld in style.
