I’ve been playing a whole lot of Demon’s Souls since it launched last week and I agree with all of the reviewers out there. This game is unforgivingly hard as hell. That being said, the  game is so unique in gameplay and it’s online connectivity, you would be short changing your self if you own a PS3 and/or your a western role playing gamer.

I am surprised at how many great reviews of DS (Demon’s Souls) their are out on the net, considering the brutal difficulty of the game. I would of thought that not many people would want to recommend it to friends. Even I’ve been nervous explaining the unique online features and functions along with it’s difficulty level.

But, to give you a sense of how I feel about the game I can easily admit that when I’m in the game world I get immersed into the game unlike any other RPG on the market.  From the excellent pin point accurate control scheme, beautiful ambient sound and music plus the ability to help out other gamers with in the games world, you can rest assured that your going to get a type of a game that needs to be played and seen by your own eyes.

Even though I didn’t make this post to get into the games visuals, sounds, or gameplay for you. I couldn’t help myself but give you my two cents on this must have Playstation 3 title. Now onto the reason for this post. Atlus just sent out word that it will be shipping out more copies of the game to retailers across the U.S. since the demand has been overwhelming across all major retail outlets. To tell you the truth, even some of my Gamestop insiders can’t get a copy of the game yet, they didn’t think it would be hard to get the game so they didn’t pre-order Demon’s Souls.

The Presser:
