The Darkness

Tank Top Fever!

just ordered that Transformers game off videogames+, good spot!

Tried to get Overlord in a seperate order afterwards, but it kept telling me it was a duplicate order and it had been cancelled, must have to wait a while before ordering again

I need to stop buying so many damn games!

Asian version is not region free afaik. The NTSC-U version is region free and not the NTSC-J

Can't seem to find anything to confirm that...
I'm gonna take a gamble and keep my order placed

Gran Hermano

Tman, I'd recommed cancelling your NTSC-J order and either waiting for
play-asia to stock a PAL-Asia/PAL-Euro version or just order the Play-Asia
NTSC-USA/Canada version. If any version is region locked it's likely to be
the NTSC-J one, depends on how much of a gamble you are willing to take

johnny_ultimate

Well, all Xbox360 games including the "Platinum" range, are in and around the €50 - €80 bracket anyway, so I don't see why not. I'm only going on the radio ad at the mo' but I'll be popping in to my local Xtravision to ch-ch-check irrout after work, will let ye know.

Its 60 in smyths, well according to website, so 54 with card.

bombidol

Got it earlier. Seems good, not mad about the aiming end of things but storywise its following the comic pretty well.

shortys94

What bull, I wnt into smyths just there and one employee didnt know they even had the game in and the other said its sold out. But the website says its in stock in the store. Would they have some in the back?

Is there any money I can get from them for this mistake:)?????

RAIN

Played it a little bit,seems good so far not mad on the main guy ,AI seems a bit easy also but the style is cool kind of a mix of deus ex and legacy of kain..or something.worth a play tru id say.

bombidol

Im being made watch to kill a mocking bird in-game! I cant get up and leave!!!!WTF

ShaneU

It's €60 in hmv.

Great game btw

wes

Played this for a few hours last night. Its great fun, not tried MP yet, will get to that soon. Love the Darkness powers and eating your enemies hearts is mad. Overall enjoying the game so far. The AI is a it stupid as other have pointed out, only playing on medium however, but from reviews I don't think the AI improves much however. Still overall the game is good fun.

bombidol

Its official, im addicted.

Zapp Brannigan

I'll echo you on the aiming bombidol. not too mad about it but I only played it for half an hour last night. Will give it a proper bash tonight.

johnny_ultimate

Gave it a very brief whirl there and loved the opening (these guys really have a flair for 'interactive', Half Life Style openings - Chronicles of Riddick also had a terrific one). But there was too much going on around the house so couldnt really give it the proper attention. Will give it a good proper trial tonight or tomorrow.

bombidol

Im totally stuck! In the waterworks place, said I have to empty the water container or something. cant find it anywhere. CRAP

koneko

Go up the stairs, there are two rooms up there with valves. One you turn, the other it says you need power, and that's when you discover another darkling, use it to destroy the lights and it'll turn on the power and you can turn the other valve. Then go back downstairs and through the door.

Zapp Brannigan

Okay just played the

hell level

and got the

Darkness Guns

. Kinda getting into this now, but still not a big fan of the aiming. Also I'm getting annoyed by the fact that Jackie gets stuck by the teensiest items on the ground.

bombidol

Nice one!
Yeah the getting stuck thing pisses me off big time. Little bit buggy but hopefully the patch will sort that out.
