THQ have announced they will be releasing a huge 90-mintute demo for the blockbuster hit Darksiders. The demo includes the first dungeon from the game, the Twilight Cathedral. The demo will be available to download from Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on February 25th.

David Adams, General Manager of Vigil Games says,“We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game.”

It's great to see Vigil Games and THQ go the extra mile to give a great representation of the game. Have you beat Darksiders? Does a demo interest you? Let us know in the comment section.

Look at this video over at Joystiq. It's introducing StageSet, a way to make short films in Home. Yes, you read that right - you'll be able to 'direct' some 'films' on a virtual stage in Home, bringing yet another strange update to the social platform. We're not sure exactly how well this is going to work, but it's certainly an original idea, so let's hope they implement it intuitively. More info when we get it.

PS3Attitude are reporting that Inferno Pool will be debuting on PSN next month. They describe the game as a 'competitive multiplayer “attack pool” mixed with the “hot-streak” combo goodness of Burnout', making it sounds like extreme pool, or something. They also say:

'...in an effort to whet your appetite now: imagine a pool game where balls are continuously added to your table. Armed with a plethora of trick shots and outlandish combos to combat this torrent of spots and stripes, now imagine these balls arriving at your table from a competing opponent who also possesses the ability to store them up and unload them on you in one devastating swoop. We don’t know about you, but we haven’t played a good pool game on a console since the days of Pool Shark and the above sounds like a recipe for a great party game in our books.'

Interesting stuff. When we get more information, you'll get it.
