[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 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.

GameLight - Dark Souls (Out Tonight)

Dark Souls is getting its debut release tonight at 12am at GameStops (not sure about other stores) and many are excited about it. Having already 17 critic reviews on Metacritic with an average of 89/100 points, Dark Souls is already making its way to be this year's winter seller game. It will be available for PS3 AND Xbox 360 tonight for North America and Oct. 7th in other regions thanks to the efforts of NamcoBandai. The game looks excruciatingly difficult and makes Demon's Souls look easy in comparison. I'm definitely going to buy the game, but not tonight. I'm willing to wait a bit longer until there's a price drop or sale as this winter I will be spending quite a bit on new and old games (around black friday/cyber monday). I'm a patient man, and I have a ton of games still unfinished. And I still have Demon's Souls to hold me down as I've started a new character last night. If you're interested in Dark Souls, haven't played Demon's Souls, and want to wait for the price drop for Dark Souls like I am, then I suggest picking up Demon's Souls as it's $15-$20 (for new copy) at stores now. Now that the game's finally coming out tonight, I'll just have to wait a little longer before getting the chance to play through it.

GameLight - Dark Souls (Release Date Announced)
Official US Site: http://preparetodie.com/en/

Release date for Dark Souls (Unofficial Sequel to Demon's Souls) in NA will be October 4th and in EU on October 7th. From Software seems to have upped their game with boss monsters looking 10x harder than Demon's Souls. I'm not sure whether I'm excited or scared, but I know I want it! It still feels weird seeing NamcoBandai publishing it and not Atlus. And from the sounds of it, I think Xbox 360 players will get a chance to grab this game for their system. I'm so pumped up from the trailer that I think I'm gonna go play some more Demon's Souls!
But maybe not. Just a heads up: Call of Duty: Black Ops is free for Steam players for the weekend and for console players, it's double experience points for the weekend. I haven't played much Call of Duty as of late, this is possibly a good time to do so!

GameLight - Dark Souls (New Video)
I'm about to finish up the review for Demon's Souls from two posts ago. So there has been a new video up for Dark Souls and it shows the many deaths within the game:
Okay, Youtube's share button is being stupid right now, so click here to watch the video:

Anyways, the game looks brutal and significantly more difficult than than Demon's Souls. The game is announced to have its release on October of this year. Till then, I'll be playing some more Demon's Souls.
