Dark Souls
Dark Souls is a brand new action RPG set in a rich, dark fantasy universe. It is also the spiritual successor to the widely praised and insanely difficult Demons Souls. The game promises tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and online features.
Dark Souls boasts a seamless world design that encourages exploration and fosters an adaptable gameplay experience. As players encounter terrifying enemies and discover new areas, the unerring foundation of challenge and reward permeates to offer an unparalleled sense of achievement.
Dark souls will be available sometime in 2011. Check out the Dark Souls screenshot gallery.

Armored Core V
The Armored Core series is renowned in the mech-action genre for its intense one-on-one battles and customization mech options. “Armored Core V is a new entry in the series that revolutionizes the series with more content than the previous games, a completely new atmosphere, and a robust offline mode,” claims FromSoftware via press statement.
In addition, the online mode has been designed to focus on huge team-based battles on a global scale. Featuring mechs or “Armored Cores” that are smaller in scale than in previous games, Armored Core V centers more on tactics and effectively utilizing the geography of a level rather than just relying on attacks.
Armored Core V will be available sometime in 2012. Check out the Armored Core V screenshot gallery.
