From Software are now gearing up for Dark Souls 3's release, coming just a year after Bloodborne, which took from the Souls series pretty liberally.

Dark Souls 3 is shockingly close to release considering how long we've known about it. We only caught wind of it around E3 and it will be in our hands in

Bloodborne is a great game to be sure, and I'm certain we will be seeing it in a lot of Game of the Year lists and discussions in a couple months.

I’ve been following Twitch plays Dark Souls for a while now. The idea of a community coming together and besting one of the most notorious modern games

I thought the combat in Bloodborne was a huge step up over previous Dark Souls game The speed of the title's fights were refreshing in new ways, without ever loosing sight of the challenge of other Souls games. However,[...]

With Bloodborne now in the bag, it's scary to think how close Dark Souls III is. We've been told we'd have it 'early 2016' at its E3 announcement, but we

I wrote about Twitch plays Dark Souls a few days ago, talking about the unorganised madness the whole thing was. The game was just too complex to really

Bloodborne is a tough game at the best of times by just about everyone's standards. It requires you to get into a groove, and really focus on what is

From Software's Dark Souls series is a strange success The franchise's achievements are more or less predicated on word of mouth yet it is so different from what we'd expect from a huge successful video game franchise Clunky and slow in animation, no real narrative and geared heavily towards the hardcore gamer. Successful it has been[...]

With Bloodborne only out in March, how could From Software have the time to put together another full game in such a short time? It turns out that more than one team has been working on it, and besides game head Hidetaka Miyazaki, no one who was working on Bloodborne was on Dark Souls 3 In[...]
