Dragon Age: Origins is a great single player role playing experience. I can see myself replaying the game a lot of times, trying out the various origins and exploring the choices I can make as a character. But mainly because I think the game has legs and because of the fact that BioWare will surely release further co... |

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey was officially announced for the US, but there's still a long way to go until March.

There are four discreet areas the player needs to get through in Dragon Age: Origins in order to get the support of allies in their fight against the Darkspawn and their Archdemon. One of them is the aptly named Mage Circle, a structure filled to the rim with magic practitioners supervised by the Chantry sponsored Te... |

Some people have been talking about how Dragon Age uses the same fantasy stereotypes that have been embraced by every other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired videogame. But the art of the creators at BioWare is to actually take familiar stereotypes, like the tall, goody two shoes, art loving, blond haired elves and turn th... |

A lot of games have ended up on the desks around here and all of them look good enough to receive a review. At the frantic work pace that has been imposed by them, some things had to be taken down from the responsibilities board, while others got reassigned. As such, it seems like BioWare's Dragon age: Origins h... |

Dragon Age: Origins can be a bit grating for those who do not like to read. Almost all of the old school role playing experiences on the PC or on gaming consoles are like that, mostly because their roots are in tabletop games that required hefty rule books, complex manuals and sometimes huge backstories written by th... |

My first battle with a Revenant in Dragon Age took no less than 2 hours. No, it was not all one long epic, drawn out as we slugged it out toe to toe, with the best man winning and the representative of Evil being taken down. It was more a succession of replays of the same sequence, with me in the role of the increas... |

It's like some games just have bad karma or maybe the universe feels the need to impose a perfect balance of ying and yang in every single thing.

I explored the entire map, ... |
