191w ago - Today Atlus' Manager of Public Relations and Sales Aram Jabbari has posted the second part of their Demon's Souls PS3 video walkthrough series on the PlayStation Blog.

To quote: AtlusA.R.A.M. here with part two of our Demon's Souls video walkthrough series. While our first part served primarily as an introduction to the game for newcomers, focusing on basics, this second video dives headlong into the most significant, most discussed, most acclaimed feature in the upcoming PlayStation 3-exclusive action RPG: online functionality.

Where most games offer multiplayer as a separate mode, something detached from the main experience, Demon's Souls takes the single-player games from online PS3 owners across the country, treats them as individual worlds in an interconnected universe, and allows the worlds to bridge from time to time, leading to some exciting cooperative and competitive interaction between players, in addition to the awesome messaging and bloodstain features.





There's never really been a gaming experience quite like Demon's Souls, and we're excited to be able to show you, in detail, exactly why that's the case. Demon's Souls releases on October 6 in two flavors: standard ($59.99) and deluxe ($69.99).

192w ago - Today Sony's Social Media Senior Specialist Chris Morell has shared a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 interview and walkthrough with Team Ninja's Yosuke Hayashi.

To quote: Team Ninja Producer and Director Yosuke Hayashi should be very familiar to you by now. His series of posts here on the Blog revealed a bunch of new footage, modes and goodies for the PS3's Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

Some of those include a nice chuck of Momiji gameplay, Team Missions co-op mode, and Chapter Challenge mode where after you clear Story Mode, you can go back and replay chapters to compete with others around the world.

Since then, you've been asking for Mr. Hayashi to drop some comments on the Blog. But we did ya one better -- an almost 10-minute long interview/walkthrough that should answer all your lingering questions on Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 before its release in less than two weeks on September 29.





So until then, summon your Ninpo skill -- if Ninja Gaiden history has taught us anything, there's some insanely hard Trophies to be had.

One more thing. A Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 PS3 demo will hit the PlayStation Store next Thursday, September 24!

193w ago - A new video was released today of the upcoming Assassin's Creed II by Ubisoft featuring a full guided walkthrough by the production manager.

The video shows the stores, where Ezio buys poison. The poison used on an enemy to assassinate a target. Ezio also accepts a secondary mission, unlike those in the first game.

Further through the video, Ezio hires mercenaries to distract some guards followed almost directly by an awesome double hidden blade kill.

The walkthrough ends with a Prince of Persia style challenge room, that rewards Ezio with some sort of clay disc, although I am unsure as to what the exact reward was.

Anyways the video is below.
