Dark Souls may have destroyed my spirit, but it couldn't take my soul. It also can't stop me from writing about it, further demonstrating that even though it beat me, it didn't break me.
For those of you out there it couldn't even beat, or are such gluttons for punishment that you actually like that kind of treatment, you might want to go and download
Artorias of the Abyss because it's available right now on both the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss adds new maps, environments, bosses, enemies, NPCs, weapons, armor, and challenges for the mightiest of the mighty to undertake.
However you feel about
Dark Souls, keep in mind that
I called dibs on Artorias of the Abyss as a potential band name last month.
