Wow is Demon's Souls really that good? From Zero Punctuation it looked like the most frustratingly difficult game ever made.

I want to play it now. Anyone got a PS3 to spare?

 

[Lydon]

I'm surprised Uncharted 2 isn't their top pick as is (what seems like) everyone else's

It really is that good, yes. I think Yatzee just didn't give the game enough time. It is extremely difficult and can be a bit frustrating sometimes, but you just have to learn the game and find the best strategy to defeat a certain enemy. It doesn't hold your hand like most games that come out these days, you have to figure it out yourself.

50 cents on that list what a load of crap.
