Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PC)

Sale Price  $37.88 SALE (37% off) at eBay Deal Factor  6.7 (details) Deal Factor for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PC)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).

IGN 9.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC)

Gameplay-lacking RPGs have met their match.

 

GiantBomb 8.0 The Darkness II (360)

Digital Extremes ably picks up where Starbreeze left off, crafting a satisfyingly brutal adventure that only rarely loses its way.

 

GiantBomb 8.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (360)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

A gory horror shooter that manages to spatter some brains and heart on the story.
