Dark Souls Screenshots

If you haven't played Demon's Souls, this is no excuse to not buy Dark Souls. It'll also be on Xbox, and it'll be even more fun.

Screenshots ahead.

Upcoming Games - Must Play (Part 2)

Thanks to shadow_uzumaki. I forgot a big one.

Dragon Age II. Not really much I can say here, but if you enjoyed the first one. This one will be even better for you. Although the lack of "in-depth"character personalization kind of irks me. So far, early reviews are in, and they're dubbing it as the best RPG of this year. I haven't played too many of Bioware's RPGS. But I know they do solid work (having played Jade Empire back on Xbox). Still hoping for that sequel, Bioware.

Dragon Age II will be out on March 8th. Another week, so hope you can last the wait.

Upcoming Games - Must Play

Forget about what I said about no news to post. I'll start off the blog with a few games within the next few months you have to play.

First off is Brink -
It's a team-based shooter with parkour movements like Assassin's Creed or Mirror's Edge. Meaning you can scale walls, flip tables over for cover, and preform some nice stunts while shooting enemies. Expect co-op to be online only, haven't heard plans for offline. You can play with people, or you can play co-op with bots. It'll be a nice addition to the gaming library, I'm sure. Brink is due out in May, so expect it to be fun.

Next up is Yakuza 4.

Remember those old school beat-em-ups like Final Fight, Ninja Gaiden and other goodies? Yakuza 4 is a new addition in a classic series. You can play as four characters in story mode, beat up gangsters on the street and progress through the story. Or you can play mini-games on the side and earn trophies and money to unlock other stuff in-game. Expect brutal takedowns and bloody melee action (if you haven't played it, the demo is up on PSN.) For those of you like, who worry about the games and their terrible English VA. This game is coming out in March with the original Japanese audio track and English subtitles.



Next up is L.A. Noire. Made by the good people at Rockstar. It's basically similar to GTA, but with more of a focus on the story. It's set during the 1940s and 50s, and uses the old film noir style to tell the story. Expect action to be heavy with gunfights, fistfights and interrogations. Oh, did I mention you're playing as a cop?
