I've noticed a disturbing trend lately. A fascination with evil. Two games immediately come to mind, and a third which eludes me.
The first, the new game "Bayonetta". The plot consists of a witch, named Bayonetta, who was part of an ancient branch of sorcerers called the Umbra witches. They are an all female society of black magic practitioners. Their "enemies" are the all male society of....light magic? practitioners, the Lumen sages. Blah blah, big battle between the two. Bayonetta somehow ends up in a coma/sleep state. Fast forward 500 years. Bayonetta is awakened with no memory, real original huh? Anyway, her hair magically forms her clothes, but she also uses her hair for magical attack. While she may be magical, her hair can not be in two places at once, if you see. But what might she be fighting with this formidable bed head you ask? Angels. As in "Fear not." and "I bring you tidings of great joy." angels. But not the angels you imagine when you read that word. They are scraggly legged, knobby kneed, vulture like birds. in combination with the overused gore, I find many problems with this game's method of attack as well as the targets of such crude attacks.
Next we have "Darksiders". This is about the apocalypse. The player takes on the role of "War" one of the 4 horseman. The apocalypse has started early, and War is blamed for it. Oh, by the way, Hell won. War must now clear his name of this terrible charge. As War, the player battles demons, and once again, angels, to discover how he was blamed for this. First, playing as a demon on a vendetta, no, thank you. Second, the obvious perversion of the Bible. Anyone who has even heard the story of Armageddon knows who will win.
How is this OK? Who said "That's a great idea for a game!"? When did this happen? And my most important question, what are we gonna do about it? I know I most certainly won't be spending my money on these pieces of garbage, but I know that many other people will. What are y'all's opinions?
