00:00 - !J.O.O.E.!
Not sure I can hold out for the PC version of Dark Souls II. Might have to plunge for the PS3 version. This time next week I'll be playing it...

23:57 - !J.O.O.E.!
More items, open, connected world with a lot of freedom, nicer art style (a lot of Demon's was quite standard and not always that interesting), a fair amount bigger. Apparently Demon's has the better multiplayer though.

23:53 - !J.O.O.E.!
I'd say Dark Souls is the superior game, though Demon's has more interesting and thoughtful boss battles as opposed to Dark Souls giant bastards that just attack you relentlessly.

23:10 - moonflash
I'm looking to get it for the ps3 anyway as my PC is kinda old. Hmm seems like both have their strengths. Demon's souls also only around 13€ used on amazon, so might as well get both!

23:00 - Zaphod
Demon's Souls is better

23:00 - !J.O.O.E.!
Really though, the gameplay of both is basically identical aside from a few things here and there (no middle roll for Demon's for example)

22:56 - !J.O.O.E.!
Dark Souls is slightly easier too I think. Both are great though, you won't find Demon's Souls worse for playing DS first, even though there's fewer items and a non-open world. It has it's own strengths.

Like 'Accelerated Evolution', this album has such a powerful production, which makes every instrument on the album seem much more impressive than it actually is. And the way these instruments are used are good enough in their own way. As for songwriting, it may not be Townsend's most accessible work to date, but it sure as hell showcases more of his experimental techniques, going through such non-metal genres as Rock 'n' Roll (Sunshine and Happiness) and Polka Rock (I think that's what the genre is referred to as-'Vampolka'). Oh, and Devin's dancing on the video for 'Vampira' is epic.

Babysong, Pixillate and Notes from Africa are among my favourite Devin tracks. The rest of the album is pretty good, though there are some songs I'm not particularly interested in.
