At the end of Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware did a great job of wrapping up the story depending on the decisions made by players while still leaving it open enough to add to the story.
In the expansion, Dragon Age: Origins Awakening continues a version of the story that introduces more of the background of the darkspawn and creates more decisions for players to make that will affect the outcome of the title.
Players who completed the original game will find a great continuation of the overall plot of the world of Dragon Age, though some might think that there is not enough content for this expansion to warrent the $39.99 price tag.
When Mass Effect was released in 2007, the game received accolades of “must-play” and “best RPG” titles left and right. Bioware had crafted an immersive, well-written sci-fi RPG that showed us a future full of believable characters and detailed, expansive lore.
It’s “morality system” made us go through some difficult decisions, and now 2 years later we can see what became of those choices. Read on for our review of Mass Effect 2, and find out if this space opera is worth your while — especially if you haven’t played the first game.
Mass Effect was one of the first games I purchased for my Xbox 360. It had great game-play, a truly wonderful story, and the characters were very well developed. It also had some terribly repetitive and uninteresting side-missions, and unfortunately, whenever I had friends over to show them this great game, I was showing them the boring side-missions.
So when Bioware announced that Mass Effect 2 was on the way, all my buddies just blew it aside. Boy are they missing out, because Mass Effect 2 improved on every single aspect over the original. This game absolutely blew my mind. In fact, I don’t even know if I have a single thing to say bad about it. If you are like my friends and haven’t yet played the first, check out IGN’s video Mass Effect in 5 Minutes and you’ll be ready to rock and roll!
Bioware’s Mass Effect 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games for this year. But hype alone is not what sells games and brings profit for publisher EA.
In order to curb used-game resale prices that the developer and publisher doesn’t see a penny on, the “Cerberus Network” was revealed yestrerday as an in-game content and DLC delivery “pipeline,” in addition to monetizing future DLC updates for gamers who buy used (or other wise “not new”) copies of ME2.
From my early childhood, I’ve been fascinated by knights, dragons, magic and the whole fantasy thing. Now, I’ve been a gamer for over 20 years, but in middle school I spent a lot of time playing Dungeons and Dragons, and I always wanted a great game that could really encompass everything that I dreamed up while playing the tabletop game. Well released in November, Bioware gave us Dragon Age: Origins, and it is what I consider to be Mass Effect meets Dungeons and Dragons, and is potentially the best fantasy adventure I’ve played, combining drama, sex, an epic quest to save the world, and even a whore or two thrown into the mix. Sound good to you? Let’s take a look!
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.
