baTwo high-profile games are released on Friday, from publishers that have a lot invested in both: THQ’s Darksiders and Sega’s Bayonetta. While I’ve played Bayonetta for about 9 hours and Darksiders for only a couple, I already know which I want to play more this week…

Bayonetta. In our issue on-sale now, you’ll find a four-page review on the game. It’s incredible. Darksiders, on the other hand, which I am hearing a lot of positive things about from other folks in the office, is a bit of a drag, in my opinion. That said, it could change after a couple of hours – I’ll give a greater chance when it comes out on Friday.

For now, though, I’d say Devil May Cry-esque Bayonetta is the safer bet of the two. Just my opinion.

      I live in Brazil do not have to play a game as it comes out, I have to wait at least a week more, one to a little more. Have not played or not Bayonetta Darksiders, but I think both are extremely good. I do not know what will be better, so I play the two back here and give my answer, xD.

      I’d go with Darksiders, definately… it’s a much more consistent and “Epic” game, but throwing out mad combos in Bayonetta is SOO damn fun ^^

      ve got to be honest, I played a couple hours of Bayonetta and didn’t like it at all. It felt mostly like a button mash fest, even when you are playing properly. Darksiders is the way to go for me.
