The darkness comes out on the 25th and Overlord come out on day later.. they both look really good to me. the darkness more of a "cool" looking game but overlord looks pretty funny and more original in my oppinion

but still, my questions is simply which will u get with the 2 games comming out so close together?

Im gonna go with what everyone else is saying. Buy the Darkness, rent Overlord. Or just wait for the reviews.

Darkness hands down. I guarentee that The Darkness will not only get MUCH better reviews than Overlord, it will be remembered. Overlord is a rental at best. Sorry Overlord fans, but you know it's not going to be ground-breaking.

Overlord may get around the 7.0 to 8.0 range due to camera issues, but was game has truly come even remotely close to what Overlord is really like? It is fun, and you actually might need to think a little when playing it. Everyone knows being evil takes a lot of effort...

I've played the Overlord demo...and people who have played games a long time get really good at figuring out what games are going to be really good and which ones are just mediocre and meh. Call it a gamer's intuition.

I dunno, I'll probably end up getting both. I loved the Overlord demo and I haven't yet passed up a promising looking shooter like The Darkness...but then again like 3/4 of the games I own are shooters...

After a week of gaming on the 360 I still don't get why they make so many FPS games for it. Maybe I need training, but even with aim assist I can't hit anything :) The Overlord demo was fun on the PC so I have no plans on getting it for the 360. But I guess it's just as good but with hickups here & there.

Tough call, good question.  I just wish any one of the 10 games that I want to buy would come out soon, and those are two of them.    I am literally playing Shadowrun out of desperation (sorry, it's just not that tight). 
I'll check the reviews, and get both unless one of them gets panned.Â
