    Get Dragon Age: Origins For Free as Part of Origin's "On The House" Program

    Hey, Origin hasn't been awful in years. Its nothing amazing, but it certainly is no worse than steam was a few years ago.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Will Launch October 7

    Okay, friend? An "objectivly bad" game is this context does not mean "a game which people may or may not enjoy". It means a game which is badly made, poorly ported, buggy, not optimized, and generally speaking unplayable! I don't care if SWtOR is a cheap knock off that doesn't grab your...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Will Launch October 7

    Actually, as I recall David Gaider said there would be at least 4 possible voices, 2 male and 2 female. I'm not sure if thats a choice or determined by race, and I can't find the link right now, but that might work if its true.

    Seriously? Did you see the character models in Origins? These look incredible by comparison. At least their teeth move when they speak.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Will Launch October 7

    Thats kind of tricky because the combat shifted radically between the two games. In Origins it was very much like earlier games of theirs, like Kotor or Neverwinter Nights. You could pause, issue orders to your companions, abilities on a quickbar, etc. Kinda slow and boring at times if you...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Will Launch October 7

    I can stand by that sentiment. Bioware are by no means glorious gods who make no flaws, but I've never played a game of theirs that was objectively bad. Whether or not you hate the ending of ME3, it is the best shooting and combat that Mass Effect has ever had, SWtOR may be a bit wasteful with...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Will Launch October 7

    Which annoys me since I'm one of the few that thought DA2's story was so much more interesting. I still like Origins, DA2 reminded me of something Obsidian would write, trying to balance the morality, making everyone guilty of something to incite the mage-templar conflict, sort of like FO:New...

    SOMA Unveils New Trailer and Other Bad News

    Ooh, I wish I could play this sort of game; looks really interesting. But I barely made it through "Metro" without becoming a nervous wreck. I guess I'm just a horror lightweight ;p Have to agree with you there. Certainly one reason Dead Space 1 was so effective. And when you're on a ship, a...

    Asheron's Call Updates Come To An End, Free Play On the Way

    *Ah* Asheron's Call was really the first major game I ever played. Really it was the first game my family played together; we bought two accounts so that me, my Mum and my Dad could all play together together in pairs. Ah, the hours we spent just exploring the world of Dereth. Had some of the...

    Why Mass Effect 2 was, and is, the superior out of the Mass Effect trilogy. [No Spoilers]

    While the second is better as a self-contained story with more originality to it, I have one reason why ME1 was the best of all three games. The MAKO. That is all.

    your parents surprising reactions to videogames

    Well lets see...not so much surprising from my perspective (cause we're that kind of family) but... Mom was the first in the house to get her character to 60. Then 70, and then 80. Dad has played few games beyond Age of Empires, Populous, and Black and White, but he adores those. I came home...

    Oh...that's disapointing (a thread about video game disapointment)

    >.< I Couldn't agree more! Freelancer is one of my favoruite games, even amidst all this awsome new stuff. Also, Uncharted 3 really bugged me. Everythinq was great for the first two thirds, and then the ending. Made me want to eat my controller. Unfortunatly, I'd never heard of I Am Alive...

    So, what DLC do you want for Skyrim?

    I also would prefer a larger story addon like Shivering Isles, maybe something to do with those shelf-righteous Thalmor jerks X-) Also, more Dwemer ruins. I'd love to see other dwarven constructs and machines.
