    Yeah, three games coming out on the same day that I want. I thought that last years game rush was bad, but this year is worse/better.

      I guess it's kind of a good thing for me that the NBA is in a lockout right now, or else I'd be the same way. I feel like I can at least pass or wait on that one for now, unlike the other two.

            An article from IGN trying to make a case for Dark Soul's being a more interesting experience than Skyrim will be:



            Have to say they make a strong case, and 10/4 has just become a glorious day for myself and a horrible day for my wallet.

            I'll have to play through Demon's Souls first, so there goes my next week, sorry work and school lol.

              Wonder why this is under everybody's radar. I personally won't get it on release day, but after just hearing about it, I think I'll be choosing between this and Skyrim once they both drop in price.

                As much as I think Dark Souls will be an amazing game, that is one of the more poorly written, childish articles i've ever read. Can't expect more from IGN though.

                I'm not just saying it because i'm anticipating Skyrim more than any other game in history, but the examples are awful. Right from the get go, docking Skyrim because of lack of multiplayer, despite fan requests. I'm sorry, but the ES series has always been about the single player experience, and people saying otherwise are from the "everything needs multiplayer or it sucks!" COD mold.

                Regardless, I don't want to run this thread off the rails, so i'll leave it at that. I'm eagerly anticipating both games, despite how much hair I know Dark Souls will have me pulling out .

                  The professionalism and quality of writing has took an even bigger hit under the new EiC than when Hilary Goldstein was at IGN.

                    Yeah, i've noticed that. From what I can tell, they've limited the length of the reviews as well. So much for going in depth.

                      As much as I like these games they aren't in same mold thus the comparisons are dumb imo. I'll eventually have both but Skyrim is a day one must and Dark Souls when there's a gaming lull...

                        Cause the scores man... all about the scores so there is hits and forum spamming and bragging rights, etc etc.

                        When the real gamers want to read about the game, and not care about the sensationalized number.

                          I am having a hard time deciding between Dark Souls and NBA 2K12. I pretty much can only get one. I loved Demon's Souls, but I love 2K hoops as well. Although, with Madden and NHL getting lots of play time, I might just go with the RPG and get my sports gaming fix (for now) from those two... Any thoughts on the matter?

                            My opinion..trade in Madden and NHL for the far superior game of NBA2k12...and then go ahead and buy Dark Souls if you have the funds

                              Sports game more often need patches. Even a great series like NBA 2K has had things like the 3 point glitch i believe two years ago. I would go with Dark Souls and pick up NBA for X-mas when rosters, patches, rookies are more likely to be in there/updated. At least that's might plan and reasoning.

                                Well, Best Buy was offering a 50% trade-in credit bonus if you preordered NBA 2K12. My trades were worth $66, and the 50% brought that to $99. I still have a $25 GC left over as well. I will be getting both!

                                These two games alone should take me through the holidays into 2012. Looking forward to next Tuesday...
