i'm planning to buy one of these this weekend so please help me chose
the most important question
will anyone of them run on my lappie?(specs in siggy)
which one is better in terms of
  • Gameplay-both are based on some form of melee combat and platforming in sandbox world
  • Patch size-both games are incredibly buggy and there have been huge patches released for them.the smaller the patch the better
  • story-ive played darksiders 1 so i'm curious to know what happens in DS2 btw ive not played Batman:AA so this will be my first batman game
  • replay value

The Score
DS2 B:AC
2 9

I've not played Darksiders II but played I. I love hack and slash genre, so its a must play for me. Loved Batman AA too but Arkham City was a letdown for me. If you just follow the main story its too short and once its end there is no more excitement left.

Its good till its Batman vs. Joker afterwards its boring. Just my opinion though.

I have played both and enjoyed both of them.As such both are great games but I would prefer Arkham City over Darksiders.Arkham provides much better gameplay as compared to Darksiders. Darksiders can be said to be the collaboration of few good games such as Devil May Cry. But Arkham provides much better gaming experience. So I would suggest to buy Arkham City and enjoy.

^^ Exactly. Nothing even comes closer to it when it comes to Hand to Hand combat and other Batman equipments and nice story is more than enough to make this game a must play for anyone.

combat is good but its more than that..its the story,the gadgets,the villains that tie me with this game..i have finished the story mode but still i want to finish all challenges...i still play it...its not the combat with random goons that keeps me interested in this game but challenges that require gadgets,investigation and thinking...i try to avoid fights with goons as i am fed up with it...if someone doesnt know much about batman the story and characters wont make any sense...personal view:p

It makes sense. I am one of them who is not fond of Batman but loves the game. A game just needs a good story, gameplay and all. Thats it, if a game has it then it will be loved or be hated. Simple as that.

^^^ the game has good gameplay,fighting and story..but too many characters are thrown in randomly..too many villains with little or no explanations...many scenes(when batman goes to the theater ) dialogues,WTF with magical beings, why batman doesnt use any guns cannot be fully understood if you dont have any background...ya its still enjoyable but the game play is meant for some one who is a hardcore fan...i loved the story very much because i loved batman as a kid...

Define normal? The game is perfect, even if it isn't set in the batman world.
