Demon’s Souls, the best video game in the world, has sold a quarter million copies, much more than the paltry 15,000 Sony expected the game to sell.
As a PS3 exclusive, it seemed odd for Sony to pass on publishing the game in North America, especially since there was an Asian version of the game that already included an English language option.

I beat the game, and that, along with earning a college degree, stands as the proudest accomplishments of my life.
If you like Action RPG’s, go buy it and die.

My older sister’s friend down the street had just gotten the system, so she kindly escorted me down to their [...]
