Gameplay wise,not graphics wise.

After seeing the last CoD 4 trailer,it has GOTY potential,big time.

They also gave Halo: CE8/10. Eurogamer gives pretty harsh reviews. It could get AAA here easily.Shmeckledorf

Well,different standards.Higher standards.

In a year absolutely crammed with interesting-looking first-person shooters, you've got to come up with a game of extraordinary quality to rise above the competition. The Darkness has come along at simultaneously the best- and worst-possible time: on the one hand, it has arrived before it risked being drowned out in a fiercely competitive market, full of games claiming to be the Next Big Thing; on the other, it might well suffer from people holding off for what else is coming out. For what it's worth, I'd concur with Rob and suggest that any fan of first-person shooters needs to play this game, even though the occasional duff level disrupts the quality at times. Once The Darkness gets its tentacles around you, resistance is futile.

Not AAA,but still,i still want it on the pc.

HELLO THIS THREAD LOST IT'S CREDIBILITY WHEN THE AUTHOR SAID THE XBOX 360 CPU IS MADE BY AMD.

It's cpu it's made IBM.

In fact,in terms of hardware producers,PS3 and Xbox 360 are about the same,both consoles have the same amount of third party hardware in them.

The difference is how the arhitecture is made,and of course,quality control.

An article on smarthouse.comsays that 30% of the Xbox 360 fail after the one year warranty. And that instead of Microsoft sendingback a repaired unit customers are getting refurblished units. According to 360 gamer magazine their own survey found a failure rate as high as 60%. Microsoft continues to deny any such problems with the Xbox 360 and says that the failure rate is about 4 to 5%. However this is higher than Ipods and PCs which have a 2% failure rate. Both articles found retailers, one anEB Games store manager, whowished to remain anonymous,contacted by Current.com.au, failure rates for the Xbox 360 have dropped in recent times but still outweigh hardware failures for competing consoles.

"We are definitely getting faulty hardware returns of the Xbox 360, but no-where near as much as we used to when it first came out," he said.

"On initial launch, close to 30 per cent of our [Xbox 360s] were coming back faulty, since then though we've only had a handful of consoles come back.

"As a comparison, we've only had one Nintendo Wii returned due to faulty hardware and the PS3 has been quite reliable as well with only about five returns so far."

The store manager pointed to the manufacturing process of the Xbox 360 as a possible cause for its relatively high rate of failure.

"With the Xbox 360 there are so many companies that have their finger in the pie and it could be contributing to the high failure rate. It's the only machine where the company that's branded on it, Microsoft, doesn't actually own everything in the device.

"For example, in the Xbox 360, the CPU is made by AMD and the video card is made by ATI, whereas with the PS3 everything is Sony, they've bought the IBM chips and put it all together in the one go, same with Nintendo, it's all in-house," he said.

We have all heard about the red ring of death. As more and more incident pour in we can only ask which system is faulty.

THIS MAN IS A GENIUS

1.Graphics - kind of self explanatory

2.Gameplay - After reading the last Crysis previews,it seems that the devs have really made some impressive technical leaps with the interactive enviroment.Also,the alien theme,the customizable armor and weapons,large and exotic enviroments will surely beat Halo 3's generic yet tried and proven gameplay.

3.Story - OK,Halo 3 wins here

4.Fun Factor - You can throw chickens at your enemies in Crysis.Can you throw chickens in Halo?NO BECAUSE HALO HAS NO CHICKENS.

5.Multiplayer - draw.
