For those – like myself – who still haven’t picked up the post apocalyptic tale of good and evil, Darksiders, THQ will be nudging you into it by releasing a 90 minute demo for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 25th.

Although the demo isn't actually timed at 90 minutes, it a guesstimation that that's how long the average player will take to complete it. The demo contains the entire first dungeon encounter from the game, the sprawling Twilight Cathedral. This engaging and challenging level contains dozens of puzzles for players to solve, new pieces of equipment to discover and epic boss battles against the monstrous demon Jailer and the savage bat-winged Tiamat.

90 minutes should be enough time to decide if you think the game is worth picking up and THQ is betting that you will.
