The first Dark Souls review includes praise and all that!

The very first Dark Souls review has finally been released by Dengeki Playstation! Reviewed by 4 people, they gave scores of 90/90/95/95, which is an improvement over Demon's Souls' scores of 85/85/95/85. Note that they played the game only in offline mode.

Thank Christ that Dark Souls lives up to the hype From and NBG have been generating in the past few months!
