any 2 360 games? Wouldnt that mean you could buy like two preownedg games for 15-20 euro and trade them back in and still get it cheaper than the price in the shop?

Yea hopefully the game is as good as the graphics. Hoping its good online.

29th is a big day for releases and unfortunately I think I'll give The Darkness a miss. Gonna go for Overlord, Resi 4 and Ninja Gaiden.

See the thing is it's not ANY 2 360 games, they have to amount to a certain trade in value. Good old terms and conditions... Yes, one could consider that deceitful...

Looks like a decent shooter from the trailer. Will be giving this a go, based on what the reviews / popular consensus if like, of course.

Don't Smyths have a trade-in offer? Or is that gone now?

But indeed Slurms, June 29th will be an expensive game day, The Darkness will definitely be on my list for that day.

It's made by the guys who did Chronicle of Riddick, no? That was a surprisingly good game, along the same FPS vein.

what else are ya thinking is decent looking over the next few weeks in your opinion mate?

yup saw the new trailer and and in-game trailer also and have to say it looks savage, the gunplay reminds me alot of half life 2,especially the sound of guns and the hollow atmospheric noise that is in indoor environments.

Freeman, just ignore him, he's either a fanboy or a troll (neither are good).

Slurms is no longer Slurms? Shocking.

Reviews from magazines so far have similar scores, according to the folks on EG.

Aye felt a change would be a laugh. Zapp Brannigan is cooler though!

Reviews look promising alright. But it's only what you'd expect from Starbreeze after Riddick.

Am actively looking foward to this now, especially since the Riddick guys are behind it.
Now, if only someone gave me a job before next Friday

One of the few games I'm looking forward to this year. The trailer and demo are both astonishing to watch and play, plus the great Mike Patton is voicing the darkness.

Best way to play it is through 5.1 speakers and loud in the middle of the night.
