Getting both Darksiders and Bayonetta tomorrow. They *should* be enough to keep me busy until Mass Effect 2 later this month.

After playing Bayonetta all last week, I can safely say that everyone should buy it. And I mean everyone.

Darksiders, otoh, left me with a sour taste. I didn't play a lot of it, but what I did play just felt stale to me. Like a first gen PC action game.

I'm getting both Bayonetta and Darksiders.

Then it's back into Mario Galaxy.

I only played the Bayonetta demo twic. Which isn't saying much since after the second playthrough I still felt lost and like I was button mashing so I mat wait a week and see what everyone has to say about it.

Until I find a new job I'm counting pennies.

I wasn't sold on Bayonetta until I found out that you can get it for cheap at Toys R' Us, so now I'm getting it.

More excited about the new Matt Hazard game, though. And the fact that it's coming out on my brithday makes it really feel like it's HAZARD TIME.

just got my text from gamestop about darksiders. tried the bayonetta demo and, as those smarties at rebel fm say, it is japan: the game. unfortunately, my love of hyper-japanese action games is non existant. to all those it DOES appeal to, enjoy. It's supposed to be excellent at what it does. i just wish i could get into what it is it does.

Bayonetta has been on sale in a lot of stores since shortly after Christmas. I got my copy at a Target last Tuesday, so y'all (yes, I'm southern) might want to check your local stores if you can't wait until tomorrow.

bayonetta is fantastic!! on the 5th play thru now. elements god of war + gears of war + dante's inferno + portal + the horse back riding of assassin's creed + bionic commando + bayonetta + any other game that had some impact in the last 5 years = darksiders. they did too much and didn't focus on any of it. combat is too simple. weapons mapped to x or b buttons. QTE all the same. graphics are weak. long and alot of exploring, but not very exciting. OWN BAYONETTA!! RENT DARKSIDERS.

360COMIC,

Ugh, your formula gave me a headache. All that does is put an image of other games in peoples minds and makes me wonder to myself why I'd play Bayonetta if I've already played all of its parts before.

Actually, I won't play Bayonetta anyway because I'm not into the Devil May Cry style of gameplay, but now I'm doubly not interested.

I think his formula was a jab at Darksiders, not Bayonetta. In any event, chalk me up for Darksiders...should hold me over till Dante's and God of War 3..

@runtheplacered you didn't read the formula correctly. its for darksiders not bayonetta.

@360COMIC,

See? Headache ensued and then I failed miserably! (I twisted that around to make it sound like my mistake was all your fault).

Haha. Thanks for the clarification.

Toys R Us here is having a buy both Bayonetta and Darksiders, get $40 gift card...too tempting to not get both.

I would like to play Darksiders just to see how many games I can compared it to. It's suppose to be short anyways, 20 hours I think. The trailer looks like Ominimusha. Except the main character has Link's sword and bomerang and the gun from DMC. All those games were awesome, no reason for me to hate them just cause they decided to use the Copy + Paste formula all High school kids like. Now they are learning what got them a diploma can also get them a job.

Darksiders looks like the Rated M version of the Marvel Superhero Squad game.

I love how they use a sexy sophisticated british voiceover for this trailer, but the ingame bayonetta voice is some gutter hoe who sounds more like a transvestite than a woman :D

Ofc im definetly getting it anyway, the gameplay feels toooooo good to pass up just because of some hefty grunting!

Well, I want both, but I can only acquire one before my birthday next month. Bayonetta or Darksiders? I think I'll go Bayonetta.
