However, Yui Tanimura has just addressed the topic with some reassuring news to those who are looking for a challenge in Dark Souls 2.
Tanimura has said in an interview with VideoGamer.com, "What we meant by 'making it more accessible' was that we want to streamline away all of the tediousness, I suppose. We want to cut away all the fat and deliver a

Next Ridge Racer is F2P
It's not strange to see a free-to-play PC or mobile title, however free-to-play on the console is something you'll rarely see, especially when the game is part of a previously successful franchise. However, Namco Bandai has recently announced that Ridge Racer Driftopia, a new Ridge Racer game, will in fact be a free to play title for the PC and PlayStation 3.
The launch is currently slated for 'later in 2013,' and although the vague date means the game could be out anywhere between next month and December, the announcement focused on the choice for free to play, and a few questions have been answered about the type of free to play model found within Ridge -

PS3 Black Ops 2 Update
Having a game across multiple platforms can be difficult for a developer, and it usually ends up with a few system specific bugs cropping up months after the game has released, but luckily for PS3 players, a new update has hit Black Ops 2 that will not only fix unwanted bugs and issues, but also add features not previously seen in the game.
The first of the new features includes the new prestige level calling cards for every prestige level, which will be available for anyone who has prestiged in the past.
On top of this, players will now be able to control the last Scorestreak called when a player calls in multiple controllable Scorestreaks.

New Tomb Raider Maps
Although the most enjoyable aspect of the new Tomb Raider is obviously the action-packed singleplayer, Square Enix seem confident enough with their multiplayer to bring out a new 1939 multiplayer map pack already.

First Player Reaches Max Spartan Rank
Take your hat off to RU Deuce, a player that has managed to reach Spartan Rank 130, max out all specializations and hit the credit cap nearly every day in just a month after the game's release.
RU Deuce was lucky enough to get the game a whole week before release day on November 6th, so he already had a very large head start, but still, maxing out on a competitive FPS in such a short period of time is both impressive and shocking.
Looking back to Halo Reach, this wouldn't have been possible as a lot more time and effort had to be put into the ranking system, and it took around a year before the first player maxed out on Bungie's
