VGA 2012

I never watch the Video Game Awards on Spike. This year was no exception. I don't think that I'm the only one that thinks the show is a strange combination of awkward celebrity appearances and the yearly collective of Dude Bro shooter-sport games. This year was no different for the most part, but there were a few notable exceptions to the award show that made it stand out from past years.

Announcement of Dark Souls II:

Dark Souls was a game that divided players on its incredible difficulty and the ambiguous way in which the player proceeds through the story. I'm excited for the sequel, but that means that I actually have to finish the first game. From Software announced that Dark Souls II will be out on Xbox, PS3, and PC.

Super TGS News 2012

Tokyo Game Show 2012 is wrapping up.

Everyone is playing Borderlands 2, but I'm looking forward to some new Japanese releases for this upcoming year.

Here are some highlights:

New PS3 model: 

The rumors were true. News had been circulating about this new model, and sadly it isn't a PS4, but it looks like SONY will try to cash in before it debuts the next generation console. It's a slimmer version of the current model, which will ship in white and black later this year.
