The Darkness II (PC)

Sale Price  $34.99 SALE (30% off) at eBay Deal Factor  7.1 (details) Deal Factor for "The Darkness II (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).

For "The Darkness II" the Deal Factor details look like this:

The team that brought us No One Lives Forever gets another chance to go for laughs.

A Batman first-person shooter. My god.

GameSpot 7.5 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC)

Kingdoms of Amalur's combat and character advancement are fantastic enough to overshadow how bland everything else is.

The Darkness II is not the revelation its predecessor was, but ripping up occultists with your demon arms is a blast anyway.
