The top 5 games of summer 2012

Summer is at an end and with it the so called "gaming drought" the season is usually tagged as. I contest that claim this year, seeing as how the summer has been filled with incredible titles, some we'll all be talking about as potential game of the year material a few months from now. To celebrate the changing of the seasons and into the massive holiday season release schedule, we've compiled a list of the greatest games of the summer along with our own personal list. If you haven't played some of these games, you'd better get moving!

This isn't going to bode well, is it?

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition midnight livestream

This day has been a long time coming, but finally, after the griping, after the pleading, after the petitions, Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition has graced the PC. Being one of the most sensational titles of this generation, we thought there wouldn't be a better way to showcase the game everybody loves to hate than by providing a livestream. So grab yourself some caffeine and get ready for a long, amusing night of gaming's greatest torture.

UPDATE: Due to the game being released at the same time in all time zones, the livestream is set to debut Thursday night. Sorry if there was any confusion!

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition interview

To date, Dark Souls remains one of my most treasured titles of all-time. Sure, it has its hiccups and technical deficiencies but hardly any game captures the intensity and atmosphere FromSoftware has injected into it. For the first time, PC gamers will get to experience the thrills of the game in the new Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition and we were on the floor to talk about it firsthand.
