Nick’s Top 10 Games of 2011

Another year has come to a close.  While some gamers look forward to the big titles of next year–Mass Effect 3, BioShock Infinite, and Halo 4 among them–most gamers are still playing the deluge of games that have been released this holiday season.  Games like Call of Duty:  Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, and The [...]

Dark Souls Journal Entry 2 by Nick Cohen

In contrast to when I played Demon’s Souls, after playing Dark Souls for about 15 hours I can proudly say that I’m making progress.  I’ve managed to defeat a few bosses, upgrade my character’s stats, and even explore scary new areas.  Does this mean that Dark Souls is easier than its predecessor?
