REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Dark Souls Kills 1.19 Million Units At Retail

Posted on Tuesday, May 8 @ 23:33:33 Eastern by

Dark Souls beat the ever loving sh** out of many, many gamers since landing at retail for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in North American and Europe. Namco Bandai revealed today in their financials that 1.19 million individuals were prepared to die.

From Software self-published the title in Japan and revealed that the game had sold well since launch way back in November. Of course, all of these stats and figures are ahead of the game's release on PC in Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on August 24th.

Jesus, fine. I'll just kill myself now.

    This game looks awesome but I am not going to put up with the high difficulty level. If it was more casual I would have bought it.

    It's one of those games that I wish I could play to 100%, but it's such a slog. I understand why people like it, but I can't be the guy playing it through twice and maxing out a character.

    I bought the first one and spent about 15 hours really trying to get into the game, but the difficulty just made it no fun. The game isn't bad at all just extremely difficult. In fact,t he hardest game I ever played. I had to return the game.

    I 100%'d it. It's really not that tough once you know what you're doing. I mean, sure, you die. But death isn't costly. It happens. It's the little shock that tells you "don't do that."

    I don't really get why people are surprised and think the game is abnormally difficult, it's about as hard as any PS1 era game.

    What happened to us? When did we become such babies when it comes to difficulty?

    Battletoads?
    Ghosts & Goblins?
    Castlevania?
    Contra?

    Anytime we come across a somewhat taxing modern game we throw in the towel and whine about not being able to complete a game without dying. Yet we look back at the original controller breaking games with awe and nostalgia

    With the increase in storytelling, the drive is more to get the 'complete experience' rather than experiencing the path.

    you know 3 of those are arcade games right? made hard for the sole purpose of squeezing more money out of you, and no other purpose, why would you want that again?

    The game is not difficult, it only requires: Patience, Strategy, Perseverance and Optimism.

    Once you defeat some tough-looking foes (this is the hardest part), you then start to trust in your skills and the desire for challenge becomes higher, and makes you keep playing. I'm happy it sold well, I want to see more of this.
