Morphing mayhem makes its way to PC in the form of Prototype 2, while the Nintendo DS gets some spin-off love with a new Pokemon RPG.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Prototype 2 (PC)<\/h3>\n<p>Prototype 2 finally makes its way to PC, and even though it\u2019s been out for a short while on consoles, keyboard-and-mouse gamers will be eager to get their hands on Prototype 2\u2019s shape-shifting chaos. As Dan Parmenter wrote in his <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/37999-prototype-2-review-xbox-360.html\" target=\"_blank\">MyGaming review<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo I\u2019m scoring Prototype 2 with that mindless approach in mind and \u2018tilting\u2019 the final score as such: as modern gamers we spend so much time obsessing over bleeding-edge visuals and storylines based on New York Times bestsellers, when often all we need is something that simply hearkens back to the basics, games like good ol\u2019 Rampage that unashamedly let us have fun simply destroying stuff.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eUJ1NRC43TM\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Pokemon Conquest (DS)<\/h3>\n<p>Japanese role-playing crossover Pok\u00e9mon Conquest is making its d\u00e9but this week.<\/p>\n<p>The game takes place in a new region, Ransei, inspired by Japan&#8217;s era of feudal warlords.<\/p>\n<p>The Tecmo Koei developed RPG blends a mish-mash of Pok\u00e9mon stars with characters from obscure Japanese war strategy series Nobunaga&#8217;s Ambition.<\/p>\n<p>Players must use their Pok\u00e9mon to conquer the game&#8217;s 17 kingdoms. Over 200 Pok\u00e9mon breeds are included in the game, including monsters from the latest Black and White generation.<\/p>\n<p>Conquest arrives before Pok\u00e9mon Black and White 2, the next
