Ever since the release of Demon’s Souls, From Software has gone from being a successful game company to a cult obsession, with fans everywhere clamoring for a peek at whatever their next project might be. T
Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls have become badges of honor amongst gamers. They transplanted the insane difficulty from the golden age consoles and spackled it in beautiful and gothic 3D graphics. They proved that gamers have gotten lazy and complacent with their new games that hand hold them all the way through right to the very end, all the while telling them which button to press. Their success is just as irrational as our love for them. Murderously hard games that make no apologies became best-sellers? Sounds impossible in the current landscape, but they proved that there was a thirst for a bit of punishment.
Be prepared for an inspirational speech about how you must persist beyond the numerous deaths (and we mean numerous) you will experience in Dark Souls 2.

Dark Souls 2 is on the horizon. Our nerves are tensed for another tough journey. For those of us that are ready, it is time to lay down your sword, pick up your pencil, and design your own shield that could make its way into the finished game.
Are you in the mood for some giant robots? Then you are in luck! From Software and Namco Bandai has just unleashed a brand new trailer for the upcoming Armored Core: Verdict Day.
