Now that I've taken care of the citations...
IT'S DARK SOULS!
Dark Souls, one of the top-rated RPGs of last year, indeed, one of the top rated RPGs of the last decade, was formerly a console exclusive. Following a massive online petition, (which you can see here: http://petitionbureau.org/DarkSoulsForPC ) the developer, FROM Software, has unofficially confirmed that Dark Souls will indeed be getting a PC port, set to release this August.
This will be one of the first successful petitions in the history of gaming, and a better game could not have been chosen. I am excited, nay, honored to live in such a time.
For those of you who played the original, you know what an unforgiving masterpiece the game was. Or you were a noob and died every five minutes and hated it. That's a possibility as well. For others though, I will now attempt to point out some of the key features of Dark Souls.
Firstly, the online play is very innovative. The entire game is essentially online, and you can summon other players into your world by interacting with glowing markers which they leave on the ground. However, it's not all sunshine and daisies. Other players can forcibly invade your world at will, and hunt you down.
Secondly, the game has some truly awe-inspiring boss battles, all of which can be played online, and many of which will leave you slack-jawed for a moment.
Thirdly, the game is open-world with superb design and a myriad of secrets and hidden things. Notice I say hidden "things". There's far more hidden than simply a couple alternate paths or extra loot. I, for example, allied myself with a half-spider-half-witch and acquired a nest of pet maggots in my head which would burst out and attack my foes.
In short, the game is awesome and I can't wait for August.
