So we’ll level with you. To say that the releases for Xbox LIVE have been a little light this year would be an understatement. Don’t get us wrong, we’re sure someone couldn’t wait to get their hands on Final Fantasy 13 Part 2, but we’ve been holding out for something with a little more finesse. This week we’ve got little something, something: The Darkness 2, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Gotham City Impostors.
