Dark Souls<\/em><\/strong> is a brand new action RPG (role playing game) set in a rich, dark fantasy universe. Tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and groundbreaking online features combine for a truly unique RPG experience. Dark Souls<\/em><\/strong> breaks down barriers with a seamless world design that encourages exploration and fosters an adaptable gameplay experience. As players encounter terrifying enemies and discover new areas, the unerring foundation of challenge and reward permeates to offer an unparalleled sense of achievement.<\/p>\n

The ARMORED CORE\u00a9 <\/em>series is renowned in the mech action genre for its intense one-on-one battles and customization options. ARMORED CORE V<\/em><\/strong> is a new entry that revolutionizes the series with more content than the previous games, a completely new atmosphere, and a robust offline mode. In addition, the online mode has been newly designed to focus on huge team-based battles on a global scale. Featuring mechs or \u201cArmored Cores\u201d that are smaller in scale than in previous games, ARMORED CORE V<\/em><\/strong> centers more on tactics and effectively utilizing the geography of a level rather than just relying on attacks.<\/p>\n

Dark Souls<\/em><\/strong> will be available in 2011. ARMORED CORE V <\/em><\/strong>will be available throughout North America and Europe\/Asia in 2012.
