Prototype 2, and the Darkness II are both games that may have fallen off of many of your radars. The consensus is they’re both good games (both Prototype 2, and The Darkness II have aggregated scores of 80 on metacritic) but with big name titles like: Final Fantasy, Kingdoms of Amalur, Resident Evil, Uncharted, Tekken, Twisted Metal, UFC, Metal Gear, Mass Effect 3, Mario Party, Street Fighter X Tekken, Silent Hill, Ninja Gaiden, Resident Evil (again), Kid Icarus, Kinect Star Warslol, The Witcher 2, and Starhawk already releasing this year; sometimes it’s difficult to get around to titles many would consider more ‘low-key’

Well lucky for us Amazon has Prototype 2, and The Darkness II on sale today for $39.99, and $29.99 respectively, which really are great deals considering how relatively new, and high quality both of these titles are. (Same deals are also available on Amazon.ca)

What title has your attention? I’m a fan of the human bowling in Prototype 2, but if I do end up jumping on one of these deals, it’s going to be The Darkness II, since that ‘Assecution trailer‘ still brings a smile to my face every time I’m reminded of The Darkness II’s existence (now that’s good marketing)

Well thanks to all the Twitheads, Facebookers, and other social media freaks who spread the word, the Assassins Creed 3 gameplay trailer is now unlocked, and quite honestly, it looks great.

Though Ubisoft advertised your efforts would go towards unlocking “gameplay footage” this really is more or less a standard 2 minute trailer, which is probably a good thing; sure it has gameplay, but it also has stunning CGI, plot detail, and Assassins Creed 3′s protagonist Connor narrating the whole thing.

I’m in all honesty biased against the Assassins Creed franchise, but despite that this is an incredible trailer, and Assassins Creed 3 looks like it’s going to be huge later this year. Don’t be surprised if it becomes Ubisofts all time best selling game, especially with the effective (yet slightly irritating) pre-order incentives laid out at the end.

Bethesda’s off the walls first person sci-fi steampunk assassin game, Dishonored, is going to be available October 9th, so if you’re already convinced you need Dishonored in your life after the gameplay free debut trailer, you can now pre-order it, an action (which by the way) either classifies you as an idiot, or (understandably) optimistic.

But whether you’re indifferent to, or just plain excited for Dishonored, clicking past the break for 25 screens will be to your benefit one way or another.

THQ has announced ‘Enter The Dominatrix’ it’s a $30 boxed retail expansion/follow up to Saints Row: The Third, that takes place immediately after the events of Saints Row 3, and the main draw is that it adds Saints Row 3′s ‘most requested feature’ super powers.

“Faster than a speeding cyber jetbike, more powerful than a roided-out Luchadore, able to leap flying aircraft carriers in a single bound… That’s the power you’ll find inside the Dominatrix. Use it for good. Use it for evil. Use it for whatever you want. As always in Saints Row, it’s up to you,” said Danny Bilson, EVP of core games at THQ.

Enter The Dominatrix was originally announced April 1st, and everyone thought it was an April fools joke because….well people are kind of stupid to be honest.

If you’re interested in hearing about Saints Row 3: Enter The Dominatrix’s plot, then continue reading.
