In every From Software game there’s a moment where things click. In Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, those moments were vague: a series of successes and failures that steadily taught me how to play. In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, I still recall the exact moment everything clicked. His name was Genichiro. Genichiro is the […]

BGS 2018: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice snuck its way into and stabbed my heart
If you thought From Software was done with the Dark Souls formula, think again. Now under the Activision banner, director Hidetaka Miyazaki is at it again, this time taking us for a ride in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. And from the 40 minutes or so I spent playing the game at Brazil Game Show, all […]
Dark Souls Remastered is bar none the ultimate version of Dark Souls
Some names in gaming are iconic, and merely mentioning them is enough to recall a specific meaning that doesn’t require any further explanation. Games like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and StarCraft are some examples of these timeless classics. No name, however, has resonated more in the last decade than From Software’s 2011 […]
Let’s talk about Dark Souls 3
Over the past several weeks, Eduardo and I have been talking a lot about Dark Souls 3. As the finale to the Dark Souls series and potentially the last of the Souls games entirely (though probably not), we had a lot of thoughts. As such, we decided to once more get together have another one […]
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Review – A nightmare to remember
Few developers have as strong a track-record with downloadable content as From Software. Each of the expansions they’ve released for their games from Dark Souls onward have been spectacular, building on the core experience and further refining it. They almost always end up being some of the best parts of those games and Bloodborne is […]
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters DLC Boss Videos
Bloodborne‘s first (and only) DLC is finally out, and we’ve got some boss fight videos ready to go in order to help you put these guys down or at least have an idea of how we took them out. Lucky for me, I had our resident Bloodborne aficionado Callum Rakestraw along for the ride, and […]
E3 2015 – Dark Souls 3 is a culmination of all things Souls
Between having Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin all come out in the past year, it feels awfully soon for another Souls game. And yet, here we are. Dark Souls 3 exists, for better or worse, and it’ll be out early next year. Going into our appointment, I was […]
Entertainium Co-ops Bloodborne!
Bloodborne is such a huge game for Entertainium that we couldn’t just review it as we would normally do it. Callum and Eduardo are die hard fans of the ‘Souls series, and what better reason is there to do a co-op review than to have a look at From Software’s latest? There isn’t. Prepare for […]
E3 2014 – Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King DLC Hands-on Impressions
It seems almost fitting that my experience with the first part of Dark Souls 2’s Crowns of the Fallen Kings DLC trilogy – Crown of the Sunken King – began with all my equipment broken. I was given control of a standard warrior archetype wielding a Longsword and a shield, only both of those things […]
Dark Souls II Review
Within minutes of starting Dark Souls II, I fell to my death due to a poorly planned jump. Seconds later, I received an achievement titled, “This is Dark Souls,” rewarding me for my first death. In any other game, that would be nothing but a cheap gag: a cheeky achievement to laugh at then never […]
