Dragon Age: Origins

If you like Mass Effect, then you should love Dragon Age. This is Bioware's next installment to the gaming world. However, this game has a different look than Mass Effect as it deals more with mythical ideals, rather than futuristic. If I had to compare Dragon Age to something, it would have to be something along the lines of Oblivion, or maybe even Fable. But would this game capture the eyes of gamers? Here is my review.

Dragon Age is one of those games, where the storyline is the focus. You can tell that there was a lot of time spent on it as an astounding campaign. The characters are interesting and remarkable, and don't leave the gamer bored and wanting more. The story has enough twist and turns in it keep you guessing, and the fantasy world is graphically amazing. There are really not any drawbacks to Dragon Age. However this game probably wont appeal to you if you are not a RPG fan, in other words if you like shoot 'em up games, Dragon Age is not for you. Overall Dragon Age got an 8.5, this is good considering it was not initially going to be a blockbuster game.

The storyline is to long and broad to tell, so this is the short version. You get to choose your race and class, and this ultimately determines how the game plays, and ends. The land of Ferelden is full with creatures, monster, and characters that make the game challenging yet memorable. You are trying to rid your land of the beings called the Darkspawn. This game provides so many options that I could literally take up to 4 to 5 blogs just telling all the story lines the game offers. As I said before, this game is by the same people that brought us Mass Effect, so there is really no surprise why the game has so many options and endings.
