This is my favorite game for the 360 so far. I downloaded the demo a few weeks ago, and was fairly unimpressed. It seemed like another God of War ripoff, and I'm starting to get a little sick of those. Nevertheless, the art design was cool, the deathblows were pretty interesting, so I decided to get the full version. After a quick intro, the game becomes Zelda. Seriously. It's not "kind of like" Zelda, or even "reminiscent" of Zelda. It is Zelda. Not that this is a bad thing in any way. In fact, I would have to say that this is much better than some of the "real" Zelda games out there. The dungeons are massive, but never make me bored or frustrated. The combat is satisfying, and the puzzles are just plain fun. If you like Zelda's combo of swordplay and puzzles, mixed with a dash of Prince of Persia platforming, I can't recommend this game enough. I stayed up all night playing it, and only just defeated the first major boss, Tiamat. Seriously, rent it, and then let me know what you think. I'm in love with it.
I need to get a PS3. I have a good enough PC that I don't need (read: want) an Xbox, but every now and then a game comes out that is a "must play" that DOESN'T come out on the PC (Alan Wake, DAMN YOU!).
But at least this one's out on PS3.
Definitely going to check it out, eventually.
Alan Wake is very good as well, but in my opinion, it suffered from over-hype. Oh, and just for the record, I would've gotten a PS3 instead, but I found a modded 360, wireless controller, and 60gb HD for $175. I couldn't pass that up.

I second this, and am not sure what to think about Darksiders, haven't tried it yet either though so I'm withholding judgment based on hearsay.
I've seen gameplay on it before, it looked amazing. The story wasn't too bad either, I myself think its worth trying.
Just beat the Griever, and I think I'm about 1/2 through. It's still incredible. Usually, I'll like a game for a while, but then it starts to get boring and monotonous. This has kept my interest up with involved gameplay, and the story and acting are just getting better. Ulthane is a great character. I'm making an avatar of him right now.
