Hi everyone,
I’m sorry for the real lack of updates recently, we’re going through some changes at PlayStation Future and you might find a few changes over the next few weeks and months. Firstly, the site is being run from www.playstationfuture.co.uk rather than www.playstationfuture.com – all the links have been updated (I think) and everything redirects to the new domain, so you shouldn’t notice much difference here. The old .com site will eventually be pulled down completely, but only once Google has updated all its search results to show links to the new site.
Secondly, there probably won’t be any more posts as you know them. I’m not sure how our plans will work, or if they will work at all, but for now the site is on hold and may be for some time.
Thirdly, there may be some design changes to the site. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know in the comments and we’ll try to incorporate as many ideas as we can.
Finally, I’d just like to thank everyone who’s been involved with PlayStation Future, not just the writers and commentators but everyone who’s come along to read our stories. With any luck we’ll be back and better than ever in the New Year, but until then, thanks for reading.
It’s hard to know exactly how to review a game like Dark Souls. As you are probably aware, Dark Souls is a punishingly difficult game (even more difficult than its predecessor, Demon’s Souls), and the majority of gamers will probably find it too frustrating to play. On that level, Dark Souls is hard to recommend to many gamers, and presumably deserves only a modest review score. However, if you’re the kind of gamer who relishes the opportunity to push your gaming skills to the limit, then Dark Souls is heartily recommended, and is almost without peer in its own world of dark, fantasy RPG. Most other reviews have discussed the insane difficulty of Dark Souls ad nauseum, so for this review I’ll just say this much: it’s by far the hardest and most unforgiving PlayStation 3 game I have ever played. 
You’ve got 30 seconds to saving the world, yep I’m being serious. Like most traditional RPG games such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, you are level grinding and heading on many adventures with a small party. You can actually save the world in 30 seconds instead of spending over 50 hours at once.
I’ve never actually played Rez back on the Playstation 2 since that it was hard to find a copy of it back then. Video game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi and his team at Q Entertainment made a game called Child of Eden for the Xbox 360 where you could use the Kinect system; a few months later it was released for the Playstation with a few changes taken in and out of the 360 version.
If you’ve played Killzone 2 back in 2009 you would say that it was great First-Person Shooter, with gorgeous landscapes and glowing lighting.Plus the E3 2005 trailer which almost everyone has seen online, you can see how far the series has come from the PlayStation 2 and then switching to the PlayStation 3.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is not a particularly difficult game if you know how to play it, even on the hardest difficulty setting. However, the boss fights are another matter altogether and if you don’t know what you’re doing you can expect to get your arse handed to you if you go in unprepared. However, if you know what you’re doing, they’re actually pretty straightforward. If you’re having problems with any of the bosses, have a look at our spoiler-free guide to help you out.
Most Final Fantasy fans would most likely say that Final Fantasy II would be their least favourite game in the series, including me. It was first released back in 1988 in Japan for the NES and then finally released in English for the PS1 back in 2003 for the rest of the world along with Final Fantasy I. Just after it was released for the PS1, it has made its way to the GBA, PSP, and on iPhone a few years later.
