The brutal difficulty of Dark Souls precedes its release, which I can vouch for after the pummeling I received at E3. As brutal as the game may be, Dark Souls is also beautiful. See today’s newest screens released from Dark Soulshere on the official Dark Souls Facebook page, which Namco Bandai Games describes as “Black phantoms, coop fights and huge monsters.”
Dark Souls will be unleashed on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 4, 2011 (North America). Pre-order now to be upgraded to the Dark Souls Collector’s Edition at no additional cost.

Atari today released the first in-game screenshots of the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons downloadable game, Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale. The screens showcase various characters and their weapons, which include arrows, axes, and swords. See the screens further below, where D&D heroes wield their enchanted weaponry to dispatch waves of skeletons in some darkly lit environments.
About Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale, from Atari:
“Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale offers high intensity “hack n’ slash” gameplay, bringing an accessible version of Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition to life. The story revolves around Rezlus, an evil Zhentarim Cleric bent on bringing the power of the Black Lord Bane onto Daggerdale and the rest of Daggerfalls. The players are summoned by a mysterious mage and given the duty of defending their homeland. The journey begins in the remote Desertsmouth Mountains as players are charged with the task of restoring order to Nentir Vale by unlocking the secrets of the sulfuric catacombs of the mines of Tethyamar, defeating the evil within the treacherous Tower of the Void, leading to the final confrontation with Rezlus himself. ”
