Fashion empress Emma Watson is proud to bring you the trailer above for the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (and no, it’s not the Mature-rated Harry Potter we’ve all been anticipating). We don’t have a release date yet, but it’ll likely ship alongside the movie’s theatrical opening in July.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is coming out for the Wii, DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The DS version will give you up to four person handheld multiplayer while the PlayStation 3 version will support PlayStation Move, for a little more immersion with your wand play.

Daily Scoop: April 18, 2011 – Almost Portal 2 time!

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Portal 2 is coming out tomorrow!!! Holy crap! It’s been such a crazy long wait that it snuck up on me. It probably put a portal behind me and jumped through it and now it’s going to drop a companion cube on my head! Noooooo!!

Ahem. Excuse me. There are some good deals going on today – Amazon’s having what they’re calling Easter Savings in Video Games, which sounds sort of not all that politically correct. I mean, where are the Passover savings? I don’t judge, either way. The sale is one of those buy one, get one 50% off ones, and includes Lego Harry Potter and a bunch of other stuff. As for today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games, they’ve got a smorgasbord of Atlus games. Radiant Historia is $27.99, Demon’s Souls (with soundtrack!) is $15, and 3D Dot Game Heroes is $13.40. Don’t miss these awesome deals – these are games worth buying immediately if you don’t already own them.

No game-related t-shirts today, I’m afraid. I think the Internet wore itself out with the four t-shirts I posted about Saturday and Sunday. But I’m going to have a hard time not purchasing this one from Tee Fury:

Shiny!
