I think Resistance might be a little more of the "run-n-gun" type but I was hoping somebody could let me know for sure. Any thoughts about which I would like more?
Thanks in advance
I have never played Darkness, but resistance was extremely dissapointing to me. The game is very linear with repetitive enemy designs (that remind me of the enemies in Halo).

Its difficult to say that the Darkness is a 'thinking man' game, but more so than Resistance. There are some extra ways to play. For example, in the demo there is a room with a couple of guys in it. You have 3 choices: send a darkling in, bust down the door and pop them in the head, or go around to the other side, shoot your 'snake arm' into the verntilation and sneak attack them after knocking out the power. That third one is not obvious so it pays to look around.
The levels I played were also extremely linear. 'Do this before that' kind of stuff. And not exactly a knock to the game, but the main character's voice in no way matches up to the voice in my head whenever I read the comic.

The real question here is: "Have you ever thought about firing a gun in a church?"

I'm quite opposed to the church but I would never fire a gun at it. Although I quite enjoyed robbing the church in Postal2

Edit: I'm right it's PC/360 exclusive. Which sort of stinks for me because I can't rent the PC version. Just put it on the list of games I'll at least rent when I get a 360 with the new revision, aka late next year... blah...

Bioshock is the only game coming out for Xbox360 and not PS3 that i'm jealous about. Although the way things get ported these days, I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up on PS3 eventually.

We'll see but with the PS3 struggling I wouldn't count on it.

Edit: Wow, I just read that there is now a demo for "The Darkness" on the PSN store! What good timing! Now all I need is a demo for Rainbow Six Vegas and i'm good to go.

Am I the only one that thinks it is kind of sad that us PS3 owners get excited for a demo?

Anyway, Played all of the demo last night. Dual Analog stinks but we all knew that. My probably with the game was I think I spent more time trying to figure out where in the world I was suppose to be going then actually doing anything. Also the dark powers didn't always work consistently for me.

Dude, I got totally lost in the graveyard. I have no idea where to go. Pretty sad
I found the controlls a little infuriating. I couldn't get the movement speed and acceleration to a setting that was good for me. It seemed really sluggish. Firing weapons with R2 + L2 is a little weird too. I haven't completed the demo yet but so far i'm glad I bought resistance instead!
