DARKSIDERS(TM) FEATURES BOMBASTIC CHORAL MUSIC

BY CRIS VELASCO AND MIKE REAGAN
AWARD-WINNING "GOD OF WAR" COMPOSERS PROVIDE EPIC

ORIGINAL SCORE FOR NEW ACTION ADVENTURE FRANCHISE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Award-winning composers Cris Velasco (God of War
series, Clive Barker's Jericho) and Mike Reagan (God of War series, Conan) have
created the original music score for THQ's highly anticipated new action adventure
title DARKSIDERS(TM). Developed by THQ in-house studio Vigil Games, DARKSIDERS puts
players in the role of War, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The dramatic
score features 60 minutes of original music composed by Velasco and Reagan and was
recorded with a full choir at the world renowned Skywalker Sound Studios.

Jeremy Robins, audio director at Vigil Games, commented, "Mike and Cris have delivered
a score that not only encompasses a character as epic as one of the four horsemen,
but helped define it as an IP."

Victor Rodriguez, music director at THQ, added, "Cris and Mike bring the emotion
with their unique, highly visceral musical score."

In DARKSIDERS players will explore a world set 100 years after the biblical Apocalypse,
traveling through expansive dungeons, battling demons and angels and striking deals
with unsavory characters in an epic quest to restore the balance between Heaven
and Hell. DARKSIDERS is scheduled to release in North America on January 5th, 2010
and launches in the UK on January 8th, 2010. For more information please visit www.darksiders.com.
