Im looking for a fun, somewhat new kind of game.

Which of the three should I get?

Call of Juarez, Overlord, or The Darkness?

I'd say they all make good rentals, but if you absolutely must buy one, I would still say rent them first. But if you REALLY TOTALLY need one, get The Darkness.

Hated Juarez with its clunky grappling concept that killed you more times than it work and bland shooting.

From what I've played of it, the Darkness is the winner between those three.

You can dl the Overlord demo before you make a choice.

I didn't care for Overlord, but The Darkness is totally awesome, only thing is that you can easily beat it on normal mode in a rental. Another user said that Call of Juarez was really short, so if you want a keeper, see if Overlord is for you :)

You should rent COJ if you want to play it. I heard it stinks.

But if you really want to buy one, I'd say the darkness. Either that or shadowrun (You need Xbox live to play shadowrun, Though)

Well all three games are totally different in game types, so it would really depend on what you prefer. Out of the three, I would really recommend The Darkness. Personally, I liked Call Of Jaurez, but it's a game that people either love or hate. Overlord is pretty cool, but seemed to get a little boring after awhile. So anyway, I like all three, but to go "buy" one I vote The Darkness.

Overload looks interesting to me, I will have to play the demo.

The other two are just first person shooters, correct?

I am looking for something with some puzzles.
I am open to other suggestions too.


I have shadowrun BTW

Darkness is SUPER fun...Call of juarez, isn't crappy, just really short... but decent, sort of like fps "red-dead revolver".

The Darkness is pretty awesome. My only real complaint is that the multiplayer is a horrible mess filled with lag.
