Well, both have trials so I suggust you try both of them. The main difference between Torque and DarkBasic(Pro), is the syntax.

If you have previous programming experience in C++, I'd go with torque.

If you've never programmed before, I'd go with DarkBasic Professional. DBP uses an easy to understand syntax, and can be used to rapidly develop games/applications. It will more than likely take longer to develop a game with Toruqe, but it all comes in practice I suppose.

The communities at both places are very helpful and there's plenty of tutorials floating around.(My site http://curvedbasic.dbspot.com )

You can't go wrong with either one, but since I'm a DarkBasic user, I'd definitly suggust DarkBasic for beginners otherwise, try out the torque demo.

DBP trial:

Torque Demo: (You'll need to use Notepad or another IDE to try out the syntax)

While you're waiting, you can download the trial/demo versions of each language and use them if you'd like.
