Two games, one release date. If you like myself or on a tight budget and are a massive fan of Action adventure games which one of these new IP's do you choose?

Let's look at both games pros and cons

Bayonetta first, the game has a demo available on all networks and many websites and magazines already feature favourable reviews. The game is also designed by the same guy who designed devil may cry. So in its favour Bayonetta has the pedigree and with the ability to actually play a portion of the game, we know what we are getting into.

Darksiders is a more unknown quantity, with release in less than 24 hours and no hands on demo too speak off how do we know if it will be worth our money? I don't mean to be harsh in any way on Vigil Games but they are somewhat new to the game with Darksiders being there only release so far and the only other game being a new warhammer online title.

The game looks good in previews but so did tony hawks ride, I remember just how often developers hold their bad games until the last moment so that day one sales aren't affected by bad reviews and this seems to be the case with Darksiders. I hope this isn't true however but I for one will be waiting until I get more information on the game before I buy it.

Edit : Meta critic currently lists darksiders with 89% with quite a few favouable reviews from websites such as IGN though official xbox magazine have given it 7/10 saying that its a good game but lacks that substance to make it great (i'm paraphrasing)

Of course I could go the other route and get Army of two (I did enjoy the first one) but for me at least i think I will go for Bayonetta

Are you picking either up or both?

Edit: for those of you interested in seeing a play through of the first 10 minutes of darksiders check out darksydephils youtube page here its the first 10 minutres of the game so far hes in about 90 mins of gameplay and you can watch it all but i dont recommend it.

the great thing about phils review / playthrough is that hes not out to please anyone and you get his full opinion no matter how obscene it is. its not for everyone but he is genuinely funny and has some great videos every week
