I'm no stranger to hard games. I played both Prinny games (PSP platformers) and that's enough to kill a man. But Dark Souls, the successor to Demon's Souls, is a special kind of difficult. During my brief time with it at E3 2011, I think I spent more time...
I'm no stranger to hard games. I played both Prinny games (PSP platformers) and that's enough to kill a man. But Dark Souls, the successor to Demon's Souls, is a special kind of difficult.

That's good news for all of you that embraced the savage difficulty of the original quest...

What is Dark Souls?
Dark Souls is an upcoming action-RPG from the minds at FromSoftware, a Japanese studio most recently known for its slew of Armored Core games on PlayStation 2 and PSP.

For those intrigued by From Software's Dark Souls, the decision to pre-order looks like it will be considerably less difficult than the actual game. Rather than selling a collector's edition of the game at a premium price, publisher Namco Bandai is instead offering one as the pre-order bonus -- meaning's it's priced at the standard $60.
The Dark Souls Collector's Edition will come in a metal case and will include an art book, mini strategy guide, behind-the-scenes development videos and a download of the game soundtrack. It will be available this October for PS3 and Xbox 360.
