Sleep Cycle

Ok I'm playing Darksiders and I really don't think its the game for me right now.

Don't get me wrong I see the appeal, the Zelda nature with a little God of War sprinkled for flavor, even the World of Warcraft acetic, but right now I think I'm not into it. I played the demo and got half way through it before I said "F this demo shit, we're going to Blockbuster" and left immediatly to rent the full game.

My first mistake was putting it in hard mode. I'm bad at video games, now put me on a 5 day clock? I think that's a recipe for disaster. Couple that with the fact that I'm tired, regularly, and I'm drifting off to dreamland when I'm a couple hours later, despite the fact I got the whole evening to play with my son out with his mom unexpectedly.

I'm wondering if its the pacing of this game that's putting me out. I play Borderlands or Call of Duty and I get the adrenaline rush and get some quality gaming in, even Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2 that can have long periods of dialog and I'm engaged but I can't get excited about this story of this game.

Again, this is a real game I totally get the appeal but I think this is a $30 pick-up this summer assuming we get stuck in a lull.
