PSInsider Demon's Souls Review

Chris Vavra from PSInsider.com writes: The RPG genre is not what it once was. Back in the late 90's, the RPG was at its zenith. On the Playstation, it seemed you couldn't go a month without another RPG being released. Not all of them were great, but most were modest hits and they represented the gaming culture at the time. To an extent, they still do, but they are more focused on MMORPG's. The traditional turn-based RPG is all but dead now. Gamers want something more proactive and exciting. Keeping that in mind, developer From Software and publisher Atlus have delivered Demon's Souls, a compelling RPG that is a faithful combination of the elements that have worked so well in RPG's from then and elements that work today. 9/10

best rpg of the year
DOA could have been a contender, but after watching preview videos, it looks like a bum.

ugly graphics, boring combat and generic feel.. yawn

Demon's Souls FTW
