Another Tuesday means that it is time for your weekly dose of Now Playing, where each week, Games On Net brings you a selection of the most interesting and sometimes boring trailers released recently.
This week, we start the festivities with a new developer diary from Dark Void, which kind of reveals why people probably won't get the game when it is released. After that we get extremely unnerved by bizarre marketing courtesy of Saints Row 2 which questions my faith in humanity. After that, we declare war on the world, by embarking on a journey into Massive Action Game. After that, we fail to learn how exactly Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came to be (we're told it was magic), before finally settling a childhood rivalry with a not so Mega Man.

Release day for the latest Harry Potter film is fast approaching, and for those who simply cannot wait to experience another round of magical cinematic adventures, the tie-in game Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince makes its way to breathlessly anticipatory retail a full thirteen days beforehand.
From past experience we all know EA don't have much to worry about, since the sales charts will feel a Potter presence for weeks afterward, but despite the fact that they could be taking a little holiday, they've decided to share a few new Half-Blood Prince screenshots showing off the game's apparently impressive emotive capabilities.

After the news EA shares plummeted to an almost seven-year low in after-hours trading.

While the book series is over, the success of the Harry Potter franchise means that we'll be seeing movies and video games for quite a while yet. EA have just pulled aside the spangly curtain to reveal plans for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a game release coinciding with the new movie out later this year.
In the game, players must return to Hogwarts to help Harry survive his difficult sixth-year. Engage in wizarding duels, take to the air to lead the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and mix and brew some magical ingredients. It's possible that Ron's romantic entanglements may even sidetrack you on your journey towards a dramatic climax and the unveiling of the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.
