  So long, farewell

  

  So, I have officially decided to take a break from Gamespot and gaming as a whole. I have a lot of things in life I need to focus on that are so much more important, like my future wife and family. Kind of a bad time to give gaming a break with games like COD: MW2 and Assassin's Creed 2 coming out but it's something that must be done. I may still be picking up Modern Warfare 2 but we'll see. As far Gamespot goes, I'll only be on here once ina great while to check a review or just to catch up on the latest but I'm basically taking off. So anyways, please don't delete me in case I do come back, which I'm sure I would. But as of now, I will be gone for an unknown amount of time. So, everyone take care and wish you all the best of the luck. Bye guys.

  - Mike

  Demon's Souls Review and Sony's new box art look.

  

  Now this picture doesn't fully show what I'm talking about. But Uncharted 2 is the first game to show off the new look and the new look on the PS3 boxes are somewhat....different. They actually went back to the old look of the PS2 but updated it a little bit. Honestly, I can't say I'm a fan, but that might just be because I'm not used to it. I do however like the way they did it on the back in which it states and fully shows what the game features (trophies, resolution, etc.). It always did before, but now it details it better and looks nicer.

  Also, I did a review on one of my favorite games of all time: Demon's Souls. This is my first review in 5 months, which is wierd because I used to pump out so many reviews I once got the top 500 reviewers badge. But back then, my reviews were, shall we say.....LAME. Anyways, check it out. And if you do like it, please recommend it. It would be greatly appreciated.

  Sleeper hit of the year....Demon's Souls

  

  Originally I had not planned to buy this game. I kept hearing how diificult it was and honestly, it never really captured my attention except for the fact that is published by Atlus. However, thanks to my buddy at Gamestop who began rambling on about this game I became more and more interested in it to the point where I then pre-ordered and bought the Deluxe Edition of the game. And as of right now, I am not regretting it at all. The reviews say it all with their high ratings of 9's but honestly I never saw this game coming so strong. The game is an action RPG that feels similiar to Oblivion in some aspects but completely different than what is out there. The game features amazing 4 player co-op and when you die (which will happen a lot), you can go into other player's worlds and try to assassinate them to take their souls and reclaim your body back. The game is constantly connected to online so you will see ghosts of other plays in the same area as you. You also spot bloodstains on the ground which when examined shows you how a player died here. Theres so many aspects to this game that make it simply awesome that I can't really put it into a blog. Maybe I'll write a review sometime down the road. So anyways, for all of you PS3 owners who are hardcore gamers, buy this game, and buy it soon because I keep hearing that its already becoming more and more difficult to find when it literally just released yesterday. But be weary, only hardcore gamers should play this game. The punishing difficulty will turn off a lot of people, especially more casual gamers.
