Right, I'd much rather buy a game I know has never been openned at Best Buy or Wal-Mart... considering I can buy it there on day one without a freakin' pre-sale.

I just called GameStop to see if they got in Overlord for 360 today. They informed me that they did, but wouldn't hold one for me, since I hadn't pre-ordered it. I kindly informed him that I'd buy it at Best Buy instead. I called another GS and they said they'd hold one for me, but I might just wait for Best Buy to get it (later today) on principle.

Usually the only time I'll buy from Gs/EB is used games, since that's really the only place around town that has a good stock of stuff, and with the B2G1 and Edge discounts, it makes them tolerable.

Overlord came out today too? Dammit. Overlord or Darkness - who should I choose....

The reviews I read said The Darkness was only about a ~10 hour game, and the multiplayer was pretty meh. Overlord looks like it has great humor, and is a game my wife is interested in as well, so the decision was easy for me.

I've got The Darkness on my GamezNFlix queue, but it could be years before I actually receive it.

I wanted both as well, but Overlord seems to be a low key/niche title that will drop in price a lot sooner than the Darkness, IMO.

Darkness shipped to me from Gamefly yesterday so i'm hoping to have it to play pretty soon. Overlord is also sitting at the top of my list now.

the MP doesn't really mean much to me and a 10 hr game is ideal. It's something I can make time to finish. :-)

Might hold off on Overlord - like mentioned, it's likely to drop in price quicker than The Darkness.

the mere mention of the darkness caused my friend to immediately purchase the title


I'm hoping he bought it for the 360 so I cop it when he's done

Try out the Overlord demo - while fun, even after two missions, it felt redundant enough that I don't feel like playing a full game of it. And Darkness would make for a great 3-day rental.

Overlord and The Darkness shipped out from GameFly and I have a feeling I will be hanging on to them for a bit. It might just be time to upgrade to 3 out at a time.
