I'm thinking The Darkness or Crackdown, so between those two or another suggestion.

I'll list what I own/have borrowed to show y'all what I like to play.

360 games I've owned:

Prey

Oblivion

Dead or Alive 4

Condemned

Dead Rising

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Far Cry

Call of Duty 3

Gears of War

Guitar Hero 2

Shadowrun

...think that's it.

And I borrowed and loved F.E.A.R.

So? The Darkness? Crackdown? (By the way, I play and love both demos of those). Something else?

Help.

OH! And I owned Splinter Cell: DA.

Well I heard the Darkness is short, but it's REALLY fun. I probably have a bit more fun with the Darkness, but I heard Crackdown is a good deal longer.

And by the way, I'm trading in Dead Rising, DOA 4, and Splinter Cell Double Agent at EB Games tomorrow and they have the Trade in 3, we'll give you an extra $20 deal. So the game will be like $35 or $30. If that affects anything.

Ummm, not huge on racing games...

I borrow games occasionally from my friend who is currently borrowing Far Cry, so if I need a racing fix I can borrow PGR 3 from him.

Yea, I've played demos for both games I'm thinking. But I'm still confused.

I have overlord too, but i think that i like the darkness better. Overlord gets pretty repetitive. Plus, who doesn't love the f bomb every second and gore to boot?

i would say go with either both good games, but on the downside you can get through them both pretty fast.

Well I'm totally buying Bioshock, but I don't want to wait for a game.

This year's a GOOD gaming year.

August - Bioshock

September - Halo 3

October - GTA IV

November - Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band, Half Life: Orange Box

iv'e seen a lot of people make these type of threads asking "what game should i buy?" so my question is, are you people so mindless and simple minded that YOU can't think for yourselves.

I don't mean to offend anyone its just something i've thinking about as to why people make these threads.

To the TC if you can't make up your mind by reading the reviews on this site how about downloading the demos for both games and playing them for a while. If your sitll not satisfied how about renting them before dishing out 60 bucks.

The reason these threads are posted is because we are not simple minded, and know that we can go to other people for their opinions. That message was meant to offend.

If you had bothered to actually read this thread, you'd have read that I've played both demos repeatedly and am still undecisive.

Seriously, would have taken about 45 seconds to read everything, and then you wouldn't have suggested that I try out the demos, sicneI stated that I had.

Would have made your poetic statement actually mean something instead of loosely translating to "I'm an idiot."

And "mindless" and "single minded" are two different things idiot. Both are bad things to be, but that's like saying "Are you people so near-sighted and far-sighted that..." You can't be both, it's one or the other.

I can think for myself, if you had actually bothered to read the post before bashing it you'd see I narrowed it down to 2 games. Apparently asking for an opinion between two things means that I'm mindless and can't think for myself.

Seriously, I'm all for people bashing my topic if they do it for a reason that makes sense, but don't preach to me while sounding like you have brain damage.

Grab F.E.A.R. Its a great game for anyone to play. The online is always fun once you beat the story or if you want to take a break from the erie atmosphere.

I've played both crackdown and the darkness and I have to say I enjoyed the darkness a lot more. Crackdown isn't bad by any means but I loved the gameplay and the supernatural mafia story of the darkness. I would go with the darkness.

I'd go with the Darkness. I just finished the story today and I found it to be entertaining and engaging throughout the entire game. Crackdown is fun but the story is lacking and the gameplay is repetative.

I recommend Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Las Vegas as it's one of the best shooters for this console.

The threads that are repeated that get to me are the ones asking which game you're most excited about... tired of those. I think these threads are good so people can get the player's opinion rather than the reviewer that isn't always just trying to find out what is good or not.

Now down to brass tacks: I really enjoyed Crackdown and with all the hidden orbs and stuff it was a lot of fun to continue playing. Then you can load up the special mode where you can put on cheats and just mess around in town for a while. I think it's great for the player who is looking for a way to pass time until more games come out.

crackdown is an AMAZING game but gets old after a week, and ive heard that the darkness is fun but is short. i would rent both of them, and i think you should BUY call of duty 2 or burnout revenge. both are awesome games and should be cheap.
