Regardless of its lack of Christmas cheer, Demon's Souls is the PS3 title for the "hardcore" gamer on your list. This game is the answer to anyone who has ever complained that gaming has gotten too easy. In fact, it just may make them cry. Are they tears of frustration or joy? Does it matter? Just enjoy the fact that you gave them Demon's Souls, and they got emotional over your gift.... What could be better?
A very difficult action role playing game, you start dead and try to get your body back. The online modes include the ability to jump into each other's games and either help or hinder them.
Demon's souls is like a new holiday fable just waiting to be told.
