Screenshot Thursday: The Elder Scrolls Online and Batman: Arkham Knight

Screenshot Thursday: The Elder Scrolls Online and Batman: Arkham Knight

Dark Souls II Review – Prepare to Swear

Dark Souls II Review – Prepare to Swear

When I received my Dark Souls 2 Xbox review copy, I had no idea that I’d end up writing such a massive review. Like the game itself, it had a difficult but addictive quality.

 

First, the gist: I didn’t know whether or not I liked From Software’s new game at first, but once the mechanic hooked me, I fell for it.

On the 25th of March (in the future), Square Enix is releasing the game via Steam for £7.99 (799 cybercredits).

DX:TF follows Ben Saxon, a former British SAS mercenary (future division), who had some augmentations and wants to find out what the deal is with some future drugs that are needed by augmented humans. However, [conspiracy redated]. In a race against time, he must neuroblast some cybertroops before the future president does whatever.
