    Did anyone else look at Winterhold and immediately think Winterfell.

    Looks like a big map though. Can't wait!

    The Pale reminded me of The Vale

    I definitely think they took some influences from A Song of Fire and Ice.

  • That map isn't real. Read the comments under it.

  • Rage review from IGN. 8.5. They said the visuals were amazing but they didn't take enough chances with the gameplay.

    Rage Review - PlayStation 3 Review at IGN

    id Software's cross-platform shooter is one of the best looking games ever made, but how does it play?

    That is sort of dissapointing, from the previews this game had a chance to have an extremely entertaining story line. From this review it seems they really didn't deliver in that part.

    But im still going to buy this game, still looks like a blast.

    The Father Of The FPS Returns Triumphant - Rage - Xbox 360 - www.GameInformer.com

    Wow, what a game!!!!!! People, take note that this is how you make a FPS that is actually fun. I cant believe how amazing this game looks and feels with so much clarity in the world and all at 60 frames per second. The game is so straight forward, that

  • I can't decide which one to get as I know I'll enjoy both. Do I need to have played Demon Souls before I play Dark Souls?

    Also a friend said he'd bring over Dark Souls later so I'll get to try that out too.

  • Not sure if I am going to get either today. I can't decide. If I get one it will probably be Rage.

    I am going to wait on you guys reviews.

    I don't think so. I read a thing online that said it isn't a sequel. At least I think I read something along those lines.

    That is correct. It is made by the same company so it is more of a spiritual successor rather than a sequel. Similar to Bioshock and System Shock.

    I'm going to wait a few days on either. I picked up dead island last week and I actually like it. I'll probably pick up dark souls over rage tho since RPGs are my favorite.

  • I am thinking about getting Crysis on PSN. Just to hold me over until the big games stat rolling out. I can't wait for Arkham City.

    The story in demon souls really wasn't great. It wasn't a game that contained a lot of cut scenes and deep story telling. The game was brutally hard at first until you beat the first boss... then you could basically level in the fourth world like candy and pumble the rest of the bosses.

    That one may have to wait for me since so many are coming out. My son might want it so I might have to hurry up on some other games and trade them in so I pick the bulk of what's coming out till 11/11.

  • Not impressed with Dark Souls so far..just got so frustrated I had to turn it off. Maybe it just isnt my style. The locking system on enemies is flawed to where you can lock onto one, but there are 5 surrounding you. So basically you get your ass kicked and have to start all over again. Everytime you die you have to do the whole damn level over again. I'll try it again later tonight..maybe i'll have more patience regarding it then. But my thoughts as of now is that it's getting traded in for Arkham City.

  • Downloading Crysis right now. I decided $20 was better than $60. I only need something to hold me over until Arkham in a few weeks. I will be back with my impressions later.

    That's exactly how demon souls was. It's designed to be hard to the point you get frustrated. Not sure how dark souls is set up, but I started with the royal class in demon souls. It had a spell you could use from the start so you could flank, run, and hit from a distant so I wouldn't get surrounded. They should also have some type of hunter class to begin with to so you could basically do the same thing with a bow and arrow. The right stick should allow you move quickly from each targeted enemy that you're locked on.
