[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.

GameLight - Ghost Recon Future Soldier

I'm looking out for Dragon's Dogma which releases tomorrow and it surprised me when I found out that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier was releasing tomorrow as well. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will take all the high-tech gadgets and tactical equipment from the GRAW series into the Third-Person Shooter genre for a strategic-action adventure experience. One of the aspects I really enjoyed about GRAW 1 and 2 was how important team-work was and playing cooperative with friends made the game feel very involving. In Future Soldier, even more equipment as available to use to extend the tactics of a team. The game will feature 50 weapons with customizable parts for a near endless combination (or so they say). There are some things I'm worried about the game such as the controls. It's difficult calibrating the movements and buttons for a third-person shooter and makes it feel alright compared to a first-person shooter. The other thing is what kind of DRM will be on it? DRM on PC is understandable yet very troublesome for those who actually buy the game. Either the game doesn't recognize the code and prevents players from being able to play or the servers are down and the player can't access the game. There are also limitations such as being allowed to install the game only 3 times (but as long as you don't switch between computers that often, I guess that's fine). There also have been games in the past where even consoles need constant access to the internet to play a game (this usually upsets those that just want to play the single-player campaign). This was especially evident when Sony's PSN services was out for about a month and those who bought games such as Capcom's Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 were not able to play the game because of the DRM, even though it was a locally played offline game. I wish I had a better computer to play games on so I could get this for the PC. I generally like playing FPS and TPS games on PC as the controls feel better, but I don't mind console controllers if need be. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier releases tomorrow May 22, 2012 for Playstation 3 & Xbox 360, and June 6th, 2012 on PC.
