The action RPG Borderlands, from the same publisher that brough us Oblivion and Fallout 3, may be the hidden gem of this holiday season. With a playing style similar to the above-mentioned games, it’s a hot item for sure.

Another hidden gem is the Atlus-developed Demon’s Souls, which has monsters as huge as those found in the PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus, and yes, one hit from them can end you. It’s a mega-tough game for hardcore RPG fans only, and, like Borderlands, it’s already on store shelves.

Which is the superior game? Depends on what you like and that’s almost as interesting as a diet pill comparison.

Best part? Demon’s Souls is a PS3 exclusive!
