Reasons to buy that PS3 just keep piling up, as word from the ticker reveals that Demon’s Souls, a dungeon-crawler action RPG from Atlus, will be making its way across the Pacific to arrive on U.S. shores in the fullness of time. Apparently Eurogamer gave it a 9/10 and called it “absolutely compelling.” Even if they hadn’t, it’s from Atlus, and we have a feeling about Atlus here. What is it, Toger? How do we feel about Atlus? Tell us!

We <3 Atlus!
I am intrigued by this game. I'd be extremely horrible at it and probably launch my controller across the room (if I had a PS3, that is), but the whole "it slaps you in the face with your own incompetence and dares you to overcome it.” mechanic makes me intensely curious.
There’s a huge thread with impressions and hints over at GamingTrend I’ve followed for the last couple of months that’s been vastly entertaining.
I’d be too much of a masochist to buy a PS3 just for Demon Soul’s, but odder things have happened.
I need a friend of mine to buy a PS3. In fact, what I really need is a friend of mine to buy TWO PS3’s (in case one breaks down) and let me hold on to one of them for him with the explicit understanding that if his PS3 breaks down, I will immediately rush the stand-by PS3 to his house. ASAP. That’s what I need.
I’m never gonna live that down, am I?
Look, it was the FIFTH time my Xbox had red ringed! Bioshock was coming out in a week! I couldn’t be without a 360 on Bioshock Day!
I shower nothing but praise upon you! I have had an Xbox 360 at my house for almost 2 years for free. It’s glorious. The People of My Village sing songs about you!
Didn’t ask permission, I stole.
Thanks, ajax19. I smile at the mental image. Check one of my posts on the forum.
But do you actually USE my spare 360, Ajax? Or does it gather dust? Sometimes I worry about the amount of (or lack of) love you’re giving it.
Back to topic. Demon Souls sounds so utterly unmerciful that, yes this is EXACTLY what I mean when I say ‘PS3 purchasing time’. And it seems to have an intelligent use for PS3’s online capabilities. Seriously, between this, Persona 4 and Devil Summoner 2, Atlus is probably having the best line up of games any company has had in the last six months.
Behold, the newest trailer!
I usually don’t masturbate to game trailers, but hell, rules are made to be broken after all.
