A few friends have got The Darkness and seem to be obsessed with it, so might be worth a go

Overlord's meant to be good but there's a demo of that so I'd recommend trying it first to see if it's your kind of thing!
Don;'t know much about the other two I'm afraid.

well to be honest I hated the demo for the last one

twas pants I'm afraid!!

Vampire Rain could be interesting as it seems to be a mix between splinter cell and rainbox 6

Vampire Rain has been battered in some reviews (I've seen a 2.9 and a 3 :/) so at least worth avoiding for now. The Darkness is getting a good response, but it looks like a stop gap until Bioshock for me. Overlord is something I really really want, love the humour. Tenchu wont be bad but I guess you have to really be into the franchise to jump at it.

In between Forza stints... are you mental?

also why have you not posted in my race meet thread, do I smell?

I now only play Forza, all my other games are in the freecycle thread (along with a 360 wheel)

I'm busy at the weekend

Might go with Overload, haven't played the demo but I feel the need for some retail therapy.

The Darkness looks like my kind of game. First-person shooty type thing + supernatural powers. Might wait until I've got a few more acheivements on the games I already have first though.

Call of Juarez and The Darkness are the big two, both seem very popular amongst lots of people on my friends list.

Played the Overlord demo yesterday and love it

Will have a look at The Darkness but I'm not sure I want a traditional FPS.

From what I've read I don't think The Darkness is a traditional FPS.
