Outstanding!
Dragon Age: Origins is a thrilling example of BioWare doing what it does best. Read Review
Dragon Age: Origins is the spiritual successor to BioWare's critically acclaimed Baldur's Gate, featuring deep character customization and role-playing, morally challenging decisions, tactical party-based combat, and a wealth of gritty, mature sub-plots. It is a dark, heroic fantasy game that combines original storytelling techniques with classic role-playing challenges.
In Dragon Age, your choices change the world and affect the people around you. Certain situations, storylines, and conversation options will change drastically depending on your origin and your motivations. You choose your origin, and from that starting point, your story begins. You play through your character's early days, defining his or her background and motivation and begin to learn more about the world of Ferelden from your own distinct perspective. Your choice of origin defines how you will view the world and how it views you. Choose a sneaky, disrespected commoner and you will play a story that focuses around subtle skills and careful wordplay. Choose a noble origin and the world will be much more positive and helpful, but those jealous of your status will not be afraid to take what you have, violently if necessary.

Basically, that's what Origin is doing for its 1-year anniversary. And, just like the goodie bags of my youth, the games they're giving away aren't exactly the latest and greatest. Assuming you get a code for your free game in your email, you'll get to choose between Spore, Dragon Age: Origins, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Quit your whining, grab the bag, and run.

Xbox 360 Dragon Age fans can feel a little relief today as BioWare's announced that the Return to Ostagar DLC will return to the Xbox Live Marketplace today. The DLC package has had a troubled start, with delays and a buggy release that had a number of players experiencing major issues. The developer claims the newest release should take care of all the issues.
Unfortunately, PC players will have to wait until next week to get their hand on Ostagar, and PlayStation 3 owners are subjected to the dubious "sometime later" timeline. Read More »
