Ok, I am gonna say it - Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is in many ways much better than God of War 3

I haven't played LoS, but I've played GOW3 on hard up to the Hades fight(got stuck there, hehe) and I've played Darksiders up to the end of the second dungeon. Personally, I think it'd take a long time before anything will beat GOW's combat, but overall, I enjoyed Darksiders more. In fact, the major downside of the game is the lead character but the puzzles were refreshing, the art was beautiful and since I hadn't gotten my horse yet, it played like a more linear zelda to me but the combat made up for that and didn't feel like a GOW rip off combat system.
I can't wait to get back to that game, beat it, then beat Darksiders II on the WiiU in future. If it's in the same genre as GOW3, then I'd have to say it's my fav in the genre. Also, GOW is better than DMC imo but I prefer Dante as a lead character.
