Fanswag: Fanboys Fight for The Darkness

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 22nd 2007 at 6:00PM }

The Darkness, as you may have heard, is fast drawing in upon us. In celebration of this glorious gloom, 2K Games decided to give us 5 copies of the game. The only problem is, they didn't bother to tell us which version. As such, we have decided to collaborate with the heathens over at PS3 Fanboy. We came up with a cordial little contest, and we need your help to settle it. How will you do that? With a good old-fashioned flamewar, of course! All you have to do is:

Finish this sentence: "The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because ... "
Submit your idea to our comments section.

Two winners will be chosen from Xbox 360 Fanboy. Here's the kicker: if Xbox 360 Fanboy receives more entries than PS3 Fanboy, we'll also give away a third copy to another lucky winner. As an added bonus, all winners will receive a prize package from 2K Games including both the game and a special The Darkness comic. We'll accept entries until June 26, 2007, so get cracking. Please note that this giveaway is limited to U.S. residents only, ages 18 and older (it's an M rated game after all). One entry per person.

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because of Rumble feedback, nothings better than feeling the recoil of shoving a .45 into someone's mouth and pulling the trigger.

King46 @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:10PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because Chuck Norris said so! BLACK POWER!!!

BlackBeltJones @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:10PM

...you'd have to actually be part of the mafia to afford a PS3 and a game.

Joe @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:11PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because, along with Ninja Gaiden, the only games that PS3 owners get are ones that 360 plays.

Oh, and achievements.

intRvenous @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:10PM

DLC darklings...'nuff said.

murzzy @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:17PM

ACHIEVEMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!

George @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:15PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because the 360 version has achievements, I end my case.

nonrandomhero @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:13PM

because i can get achievements to prove how much better at the game i am than my friends.

Flip McSquible @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:16PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because the 360 was made for first person shooters. The PS3 is made for crappy Gundam games and a whole lot of folding.

Crazy Nut BE @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:16PM

I'm just posting here to support my fellow fanboys:p So good luck to everyon trying to win a copy!

Kyle Rivera @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:15PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because ... with the SIXAXIS you wont be able to feel the MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Ryan @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:15PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because with the 360 you will get to feel everything with rumble, you get some nice achievements, and 360 is just better.

Algorecon @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:16PM

because
1. You get to feel the game (via rumble).
2. You get to compare how far you are with other people (via achievements).
3. You get to download content (via Xbox Live).
4. You get to play your friends over a tested system (via Xbox Live).

and finally

5. You get to post why the 360 version is better on the best 360 website (via Xbox360fanboy.com).

cntli @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:16PM

...because Xbox Live interoperability will be a part of it. And achievements are cool too!

Will @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:16PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because my well intergrated console can play any song i want in game and get pumped.

Whocares @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:17PM

The 360 version of the Darkness is better than the PS3's because when we look on the box we dont kick ourselves when we're reminded what console we bought.

DSR7997 @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:17PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because it's on 360. Duh!

Kevin Gass @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:18PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because somewhere in Redmond, Bill Gates is playing it.

un1qu3 n3wy0rk @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:18PM

... because you can actually feel the pothole's in the opening car chase thanks to the 360's rumble.

Malakhii @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:20PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because Bill Gates gave me half his fortune to say it is.

Josh @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:20PM

...it costs $200 less!

Nicolas Robitaille @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:21PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because the PS3 is a bad machine and this video tell what I think of the PS3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R98qC0fd_1w

Roderick @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:31PM

The 360 version will be better than the PS3 version because 360 multi platform games ALWAYS score higher than the PS3 versions,It has achievements,custom soundtracks,rumble,its the same game except 200 dollars cheaper,AND BECAUSE THATS LIFE BEING A PS3 OWNER ISN'T FAIR!!!!

benyaimin @ Jun 22nd 2007 7:07PM

because no one likes PS3

Dante Sparda @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:23PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because the PS3 sucks!

x silence x @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:24PM

- Because when it releases they will have comparison videos and the 360 will look better... again

- Because FPS always play better on the 360

- Rumble baby... rumble

- The 360 was made for FPS

- You don't have to swing your arms like a crazy person trying to use the sixaxis

- Since the game is set in dark areas you will actaully be able to see (see past comparison videos)

- Its 360... why wouldnt it be better?

joemc72 @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:26PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because it was programmed by 300 SPARTANS!!!

Larry H @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:26PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because I'll never own a PS3.

zackiyp @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:28PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because the PS3 controller has shapes as its buttons... enough said.

hassano @ Jun 23rd 2007 7:35AM

because the 360 controller would pwn the ps3 controller in any fps

Stewart Bananas @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:29PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because I want to win a copy of it.

BAK6E @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:30PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because 360's tend to act like a heater. I like drop my darkness like its hot.

snap.

Andrew @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:33PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because it's on the Xbox 360.

Ben @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:31PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because ... wait a second, are you actually trying to compare a PS3 to a 360? That's like comparing a Honda to a BMW, just know the 360 version will rock because it's being played on a 360,

Beck @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:32PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because... Well who doesn't like Achievements and Rumble Feedback?

Warpy @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:32PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because Jackie threatened to spawn a Darkling and have it eat my heart out if i don't say it.

Ozyman666 @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:33PM

... because the 360 video codec (blah, blah, blah) renders darkness better than the PS3.

Tyr1n @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:33PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because I paid less (and still have my soul) to play the better version of the game on my console of choice, my good ol' (still working) Xbox 360. cheers.

italiansmoke @ Jun 30th 2007 6:07PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because we don't have to deal with 'Home' and it's extra b.s. All we just want to do is "embrace" The Darkness now!!

Oh yeah... and my tentacles eating your heart out look way better on my Elite than on your PS3. :P

L1B3RATION @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:34PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because i can actually talk to my friends while playing in multiplayer without selling one of my kidneys to get a top notch bluetooth headset.

w10 @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:34PM

...I dont't have to wander aimlessly through HOME, finish choking on the price of a Blu-ray player, suffer until integration of rumble feedback or pray for a price drop before I can enjoy it along with an entire library of other good games (which will soon include EXCLUSIVE GTA IV content)(I don't want to be too hard on the Sony fanboys because this is basically the only good game on that system in near future).

zephan @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:34PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because a 30% failure rate with achievements is better than a motion-control without achievements!

LAboy @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:35PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because our "inferior" machine can upscale 1080i unlike the craptacular $600 gaming machine.

Mathew Howland @ Jun 22nd 2007 6:35PM

The 360 version of The Darkness is better than the PS3 version because it has...ah, I can't do this when we all know the PS3 is going to fail miserably. We should support the PS3 owners in their first, Good, non-port, 3rd-party game, since they won't know why they bought a PS3 when Metal Gear Solid 4 is announced for the Xbox 360 at E3.
