Darksiders II (Soundtrack Review)

Composed by Jesper Kyd

Darksiders II is the highly anticipated sequel for the Darksiders franchise from developer Vigil Games and publisher THQ, but if you didn't know any better, you would think Darksiders II is from a whole other video game series. Vigil has managed to improve on their highly successful title Darksiders in a plethora of astounding ways in the game's sequel, and needless to say, the game looks amazing. With a larger budget for the sequel, the creators of the game were allowed to bring in even greater talent for the new game, and this is where seasoned video game soundtrack composer Jesper Kyd has been brought in to create an entire musical library worthy of being featured in Darksiders II.

Jesper Kyd had his rise to fame earlier in his career composing great songs for the Hitman and Assassin's Creed series with the former winning a BAFTA award for the composer. It's easy to see why Jesper has received numerous nominations and won awards for his work even after only spending a little time with the Darksiders II soundtrack that features an impressive 26 songs across two discs with well over 30 minutes of music contained on each.

Jesper's unique sound can be heard in every song on the soundtrack, and beautiful orchestral compositions mesh perfectly with the mesmerizing graphical presentation and often chaotic battles across parts of Hell and Earth. The Darksiders II soundtrack produces many instant classics such as The Maker's Theme, Into Eternity and The Corruption that are sure to become fan favorites when the game and soundtrack release next week. There are also some really intense scores such as Stains of Heresy and Death Brings Hope which will make for some fun times in combat and exploring the many worlds of the game. The Darksiders II soundtrack is easily one of the best of the year and should put Jesper in contention for yet another award by end of the year. Darksiders II is a phenomenal game with a superb soundtrack that you can't pass up, make sure to pick them up today!

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory. Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
