I shall be getting Overlord, because I'm a little tired of shooters. I'll get the Darkness when the price is lower.

I might not buy any of them but Overlord looks great, I'll definatly pick that one up someday. I think it might even suprise in how good it is. And form the tittles you mention Overlord will probably last you the longest and the humor is great according to many reviews, which is a rare quallity for an game.

Wow, I just sold the game to myself :P

I doubt any of these are purchases, for me. I enjoyed the demo of Overload, so it will be a rental. I don't really care to experience Darkness or Hour of Victory.

Buying? None of them. Renting? Overlord, and maybe Darkness.

Darkness surely, Overlord didn't make me laugh at that much [Except for when the put the pumpkins as helmets, that was pretty funny] and Hour of Victory....less said about that the better

IGN finished Overlord in 15 hours, plus the multiplayer is weak. In this regard I think The Darkness would be the longest-lasting game, Hour of Victory being the shortest at 3.5 minutes before it gets thrown out the window.

Well, I'm going to go against what pretty much everybody said so far. I'll support Hour of Victory first. I have no clue about Overlord, and a definate no, to the darkness. I'm not really big into having demons as friends, even if it just a VG

So is Hour of Victory really that bad? I just have not enough of time to download and try the demo but I thought that it might be a decent WW2 FPS.

The only way Midway is taking my money for Hour of Victory is if it came with an Hour with Jesica Alba..

The Darkness looks interesting and Starbreeze had a great game in Riddick, But that's just one game and 1/1 doesn't say much.. Every developer has at least one great game under their belts. so i'm waiting for a demo or reviews ..

Overlord, Fun , Funny, and original... unfortunately my wife has put a limit on how many games a year i can buy.. (don't get married kids) and seeing as she just got me the Force feedback wheel (talk about mixed signals) my next few purchases will be racing games.. that said i'll probably rent it or purchase it next year whilst digging through bargain bins..

Darkness for sure. I saw the developers walkthough parts 1 and 2 on gametrailers.com and it looks sick. There are TV's placed strategically throughout the game that play whole movies. The developer mentioned Nosferatu as one of the movies that plays. The game looks insane.

im 90 percent sure about the darkness ive testet overlord and HoV they was both boring so i look for a little more adrenaline rush types
