We already talked about Dark Souls a bit on last week's episode of the Game Informer Show, but we're way too obsessed with this game around the office to be done.

On this first of a handful of special editions of the podcast devoted to Dark Souls, I'm joined by Andrew Reiner, Jeff Marchiafava, and new GI editor Jim Reilly to discuss our constant fascination with this difficult game. We talk about our progress so far, how it stacks up against Demon's Souls, and why the strategy guide is so awesome.

This is definitely a change of pace compared to our regular podcast, so please let us know in the comments how you like it. We'll probably be doing at least a couple more Dark Souls-focused episodes, so if you're playing be sure to leave some comments letting us know how far you are or if you have any questions about the game you want us to answer next week.
