Staff review by Jason Venter (October 05, 2009)

Some other challenging RPGs are enjoyable, sure, but they're a different sort of affair. They're tough because you haven't prepared yourself sufficiently or because there's an unavoidable attack that will always drain away most of your life. In stark contrast, Demon's Souls is tough because everything is completely fair, because every disaster is technically avoidable and because every enemy can kick your ass if you let your mind wander.

Reader review by disco (November 15, 2009)

The castle reeks of death. The path leading up to the main gate is littered with corpses. Maggoty, stinking bags of flesh left to rot where they fell. The horses, too. Their bodies were ripped open, with their loads and carts broken on the cobblestone. The crows are already at their flesh; pickings in Boletaria have been very good lately. The inside of the castle is worse. That gaping entrance leads into a seemingly endless black abyss, as if it were the mouth of some otherworldly beast. ...

Rumors of Demon's Souls difficulty have been greatly exaggerated.

What would happen if Godzilla and the Alien from Ridley Scott's movie had gone to hell to merge together, then came back as a hideous demon with a lean eight-pack(yes I said eight since it's not human..) and a mean punch that Captain Falcon would be proud of? Why you would get the towering monstrosity known as the Dragon God! Its roars are deafening even from far away. Your heart is beating fast. Its rage is seething uncontrollably that it never stops moving. Yet all you can do is wonder ...

It’s not like Demon’s Souls does anything new, or tells an interesting story, or even looks especially pretty. No, in the small amount of time it’s spent on store shelves, the game has amassed a cult following simply for being very, very difficult, and there is no denying that it earns every iota of its reputation. Now, I won’t waste your time detailing what a frustrating game can do to even the most hardened player (I’m sure you’ve all got stories), but you know when it feels like you’re...

Many gamers are still probably wasting away in this year's Dark Souls, but Atlus is hoping folks haven't forgotten about the torturous RPG's predecessor, the PlayStation 3-exclusive Demon's Souls. The publisher today announced the original Souls game is getting a holiday-themed gameplay twist in what they're dubbing "Pure White World Tendency."
