[Guild Wars 2]
If you've already pre-purchased Guild Wars 2, then you'll be able to start playing tonight at mid-night. For those not participating in early-access, the game officially releases on Tuesday, August 28th. Guild Wars 2 is an MMORPG that offers a dynamic Player vs Environment (PvE) experience with the ability to jump into player versus player (PvP) right away with equal footing for everyone as well as large scale battles in world vs world (WvW). You pay for the game and that's it. There are no monthly subscriptions to pay, but there will probably be options to pay for extra characters slots and such. Standard price is $59.99, Digital Deluxe edition is $79.99, and Collector's edition (which is probably sold out) is $149.99.
[Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition]

Dark Souls is not for everyone. It's a hardcore game with no ability to choose a difficulty setting and is naturally hard to complete. You have to be willing to fail and learn from mistakes and take the time to get through battles. Dark Souls is a combat and exploration driven Action-RPG that focuses on challenges and fighting rather than story and character development. It seems that there's already a huge issue with the game. The resolution is stuck at 1024 x 720 and cannot be played in full screen. A modder has created a temporary fix that allows players to fudge the resolution a little more so that the graphics would at least look a little better. The Publisher will probably release a patch once development finds a way to do so (go hire someone that can do it!). There's more content on the PC than the console versions, and the extra content will be available to console owners as DLC. Darks Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is $39.99 and available on Steam as well as retail.
Aside from these two major releases this week and next, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and the Just Cause series is on sale this weekend over at Steam. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 was finally added on Steam. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is officially out at a reasonable price of $14.99 and is available for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Happy gaming everyone, and have a great weekend.

Counter-Strike has always been more of a casual game for me since I played with friends a lot in the past. I also really like playing a lot of the mods, crazy maps, and custom rules. When I played competitively, I always had such incredible skill to allow other players to get a headshot out of me with one shot. To put it simply, I sucked at the game (and it's alright). I enjoy the game. It's pretty straight forward, there's a lot of experimentation to be tested, and it's pretty fast-paced since it's a bit more arcade-like compared to other tactical shooters such as Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Battlefield and such where aiming down sight, covering, and tactics is important. It seems that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is leaning more towards the casual side like most games do as it evolves so that more people can enjoy it. Some people will hate it (some people still play CS 1.6) and other will love it (better graphics than Source? Yes please). So besides old maps and new maps, there is enhanced graphics, new animations to models, ranked matches, new game modes, cross-platform play (will be available for PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PC), and even more weapons!!! I'm excited about the newest installment of Counter-Strike and will definitely get it.
