While I don’t consider myself to be a hardcore RPG fan and usually stick to titles that I’m more familiar with; when I began Dragon Age: Origins, I found myself immersed in the deep storyline.
Bioware is known for excellent RPG games, and they haven’t disappointed with Dragon Age: Origins. The huge amount of side quests extend the life of the game and learning about the world itself is a lot of reading, but those who want to know everything about the world will be able to.
Dragon Age: Origins is a nice throwback to the medieval RPGs of back in the day. One thing that those old RPGs didn’t have was great voice acting. Honestly, when you think about it, only in the past few years has voice acting become something that actors wanted to attach to their resumes.
Bioware has announced the cast that will be voicing some of the bigger characters in the title.
The RPG genre has covered many different time periods, universes, and characters. There is always something nostalgic though when developers take the RPG back to the medieval age and add recognized character classes and races.
With Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware has revealed a new city in the game, and one that is not all that it seems.
Mass Effect was one of the games that Xbox 360 gamers had to play. With the new installment releasing for the Xbox 360 and PC early next year, many gamers are waiting in anticipation at the thought of continuing the story of the series.
During Gamescom, Bioware announced a new character that will inhabit the world of Mass Effect 2 and assist Commander Sherpard during the game. The new character was announced as “Grunt,” a Krogan.
Dragon Age: Origins is one of next games releasing from Bioware. With their strong track record of impressive games, Dragon Age: Origins looks to be another solid entry in the list of classic titles from this developer.
Bioware held a press conference at the Gamescom convention and showed off a new trailer for the upcoming title.
Anything that Bioware makes is usually going to be a fan favorite. With their solid run of titles, fans have been waiting for Dragon Age: Origins to release for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. In celebration, Electronic Arts and Bioware have announced a new pre-order collectors edition of the game.
Dragon Age: Origins will release on November 3rd in the US for Xbox 360 and PC. PlayStation 3 will receive the title in November.
We’ve heard it all before, MMORPG “X” will be the “WoW killer.” Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars (Galaxies) are just some of the big names that have failed to live up to this billing, which reminds us just how dominate Blizzard’s World of Warcraft has become.
However, as the game approaches its 5 year anniversary, we’re also reminded that nothing lasts forever.
So, exactly how long can Blizzard keep subscribers interested in the game?
On October 21st of last year, Bioware and LucasArts shocked literally no one by officially announcing their long-rumored MMORPG set in the Star Wars universe, titled The Old Republic. Up until now, discussion on the game has revolved mainly around Bioware touting the “fourth pillar” that they’re introducing into the MMORPG world, the pillar of story and character development. Today, however, we finally get a good glimpse into the gameplay with several new screenshots and a video documentary being released (shown below). If there’s one game on the horizon that could potentially break WoW’s vice-like grip on me, it is this one. To see the screens of the game released today, you can visit Bioware’s Old Republic media page here. Read More »
