I think I might, their isnt many games for the summer expect for Forza and racing games, and I am not a big fan of racing games so I got to get something to keep me occupied. Anyone else feeling the same way?

I'm not, might pick up Overlord though it seems to be the better choice of the two. For me anyways.

I passed up buying Shadowrun so I'm definately getting The Darkness. Because of a storyline and multiplayer and it's from the guys who developed Chronicles Of Riddick for the original xbox which was one of the games that impressed me. And here is the first review for it 9 out of 10:

and heres a bigger look:the darkness au-oxm review

I'm gonna pick up the darkness as soon as I can get my hands on it. Looks bloody amazing, and if it's made by the same guys that did riddick, it's going to definately be worth it. I'm just hoping they put a demo out soon so I can get a taste before it comes out

Did anyone else see the commercial during Monday Night Raw? It is great, and it has a Manson song. I'm not a huge fan of Manson, but the song sounded okay.

I have a sense that it's gonna bomb, so I'm gonna wait for a few professional reviews before buying it on release day.

I have it pre-ordered already. I also went to Borders and bought the comic, which was a Special Edition comic to go along with the game's release, so it has the first set of comics from The Darkness and also the story that inspired the game.

The game looks awesooome.

Wow, some people really are passing up on The Darkness. Wait a month until it's praised by gamers and pros in the industry. The tune will change, and they will all be going to buy a copy. This is going to be one of the best games this generation, mark my words.

I'm definitley going to get this game, but i'm also interested in the multiplay aspect oth the game also, and no one seems to be talking about that. Since it is a short game, I'm hoping the multiplayer will be good so you'll continue to want to play it.

Come on Star, most single player campaigns are around 8 hours long now.

I don't buy them if they are. I want more value from my purchases outside of multiplayer. You guys may have become lenient on lazy devs, but I'm not gonna budge on this one :)

Wait, you have The Godfather and EDF?

They aren't lazy devs. If a shooter is over 8 hours long, then it often gets boring and repetitive. The Darkness has side quests and multiplayer that leave the door open for a ton of replay value. This will be one game you will look back upon as a great come next gen.

I think some modes will be darklings vs humans, and in other modes you can switch between the two on the fly. Darklings = weak, melee only but fast and can climb on walls. Humans are stronger, can carry weapons, and obviously can't walk on walls. I don't expect MP to be the selling point of this game, just a bonus.
