First Dark Souls 2 Gameplay Footage Arrives

Addiction is a strong word, but when we’re talking about Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls, addiction may not be a strong enough word to describe how much I enjoy these games.  Above all else, the insane challenge and actual feeling of achievement with this series makes these games amazing.  When I sit down to play Demon’s Souls, I honestly feel like I’m playing an old school NES game with no save capability, except I’m seeing Playstation 3 graphics and not 8-bit pixels and sprites.  I could go on for pages, but let me just state that if you haven’t picked up Demon’s Souls or Dark Souls, you’re wrong.  Go fix yourself.  Enjoy the salivating footage, and hit the link below for more details/comments.

PS4 Praised as Perfect Gaming PC

The PC gaming community is a stubborn crowd, and I can confidently make that claim because I consider myself part of that cadre of gamers.  Although consoles have come an insanely long ways over the last two generations or so to match up with PC’s, there still is a gap in a few ways and genres; the most specific gap in my oh so slightly qualified opinion is in the RTS, or Real-Time Strategy genre.  I couldn’t even fathom trying to play Red Alert or Starcraft 2 with a controller; I have got to have a mouse and keyboard or we’re gonna have some issues.  Are we understood?  But then you’ve got extremely prominent video game industry executives that drop the line-blurring bombs like the PS4 is the “perfect gaming PC”.  Say what?  Hit the link below for all of the details.

The Last of Us Red Band Trailer

As I’ve stated on a few occasions here at SQ, I’m not a huge fan of zombie shows, games, movies, etc.  I’m not saying I hate ’em, but I’m not borderline obsessed with the genre like much of ‘Merica is these days.  I missed the Walking Dead season 2 finale recently (hell, I missed the entire season), and apparently I also missed the first game play trailer for the upcoming zombie and PS3 blockbuster, The Last of Us.  To give you the bottom line up front: The Last of Us looks absolutely awesome.  Everything about this trailer seems very well put together, and I realize it is only a trailer, but this looks like its going to be a must-buy.  The acting and voice overs look and sound great, which is rare in a video game, and most importantly the game play looks phenomenal.  I haven’t been excited about an upcoming game for a while now, but I’ve got June 14th (official release date) marked down on my calendar.

First Diablo 3 PS3 Footage Sizzles

I’ve been historically late to Blizzard games.  In the late 90’s, this guy was obsessed with anything on store shelves with a “Command & Conquer” label, so Diablo 1 & 2 never made it on to my hard drive.  Once Diablo 3 launched, I decided to buck the trend and grab a digital copy online, only to realize that my laptop may not make it a worthwhile purchase.  Bummer.  Thankfully, Starcraft 2 is fucking amazing, so I’m pretty happy about that one.  Regardless, I’ll be picking up a copy of Diablo 3 for my PS3 the day or week it gets released, which to the best of my knowledge and Interweb research ability is still TBD.  The footage looks awesome, and according to Blizzard, it “sizzles”!  Hit the link below for the Diablo porn, and stay tuned to SQ for more Diablo 3 goodness!

MLB 13 The Show with Buster Posey

Playstation has the best commercials, period.  Kevin Butler carried the Sony flag for a while, and has some priceless commercials that are still funny to watch on YouTube.  This new guy Sony has plugged into its new MLB 13 The Show commercials is arguably just as good with what we’ve seen so far; I am definitely looking forward to more commercials with this guy in the future!

My favorite quote: “You’re a video game.”

Demon’s Souls Will Make You Touch It

Demon’s Souls is the shit.  Yes, I am aware that this game has been out for like three years now, but between the Marine Corps, a deployment, moving a few different times and getting my PS3 stolen, and getting engaged, gaming has sadly been put on the back burner.  Demon’s Souls however has always been at the top of my list of games to play, because the insane challenge the game presents flat-out just lured me in.  And lure you in is just what this crazy game does; the designers know how you think, and the way they have set this game up to f*ck you up is pretty genius.
