This week's gaming releases include id Software's latest and a spiritual successor to one of the toughest games of this console generation.
RAGE
Release date: October 4 (North America), October 7 (Europe)
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
From the creator of first-person classics Doom and Quake id Software comes its next landmark release. RAGE sees our once fertile planet reduced to an apocalyptic wasteland following an asteroid strike in the year 2029, and you must survive among the deranged hostiles that lurk within. Massive in scope, it ships on three discs on Xbox 360.

Dark Souls
Release date: October 4 (North America), October 7 (Europe)
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Dark Souls is the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, the critically-acclaimed role-playing action title from From Software. While Demon's Souls had a brutal difficulty setting and harsh penalties for death, it was commended for being challenging, fair and imaginative in its world design, making it one of the surprise releases of the last few years. Dark Souls ups the ante with a multi-platform release and a much larger and more open world to explore.
