Yeah im late: A Dragon Age Origins Story

Believe me when i say this i play way too many shooters for my own good, and keeping this in mind there are very few shooters out there now that i consider to be actually good. Team Fortress 2 will still holds the position as my favorite shooter of all time of coarse Halo 2(RIP) will always be in my heart(MW2,Halo3,Battlefield2, and Gears or War 1&2) all titles i believe to be decent shooters and don't mind playing them if someone online needs a partner for the nights escapades. I however wasn't always this way, no i began gaming with the SNES,N64,and PS1&2 those being my first systems i have a healthy love for action adventure and RPG titles.

The current North American gaming market is flooded with shooters, with their shortened single player experiences, and and very "polluted" multiplayer experiences it is hard to find a company willing to make a really great game. Now that this is established i can say, BioWare is one of my favorite companies in today's market for one reason and one reason only, "THEY MAKE GREAT GAMES". With precise dialogue and great game play mechanics, they have pumped out title after title of pure gold. For example: Knights of the Old Republic 1&2, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Neverwinter Nights, and the game i will be discussing Dragon Age Origins.

Dragon Age Origins was a bright light to me when it was first announced mainly because i hadn't played a good North American RPG for quite a while (probably since Mass Effect 1), and when i heard of the development of the game i was quite surprised. I remember reading an article on my favorite gaming news site www.kotaku.com ,I believe the article was something about BioWare to make new fantasy RPG or something along those lines and i immediately walked to the local game shop and placed my preorder. I was so excited on release night that despite my work shift the next morning i waited in line for the midnight release and didn't sleep just so i could play it as soon as possible.

I began by playing with the Dailish elf origin story and I have to say it ended up being one of my favorite out of the entire of the game. The first thing that struck me about playing Dragon Age was the amazing transition between cinematics and gameplay, when I finally clued into the fact that the writing was so masterfully crafted (10 points for BioWare), I smiled and said yeah I can play through this game six time. Yeah it was that good I usually give a shooter one maybe two play through attempts before tossing the disk in the corner of things to play online when very tired. Now that I think about the game I only had one "real problem", and that would have been the load time's, Dragon Age just randomly go into a loading screen mid game play with no real warning.

Anyways that's my thoughts on Dragon Age Origins I loved it and I hope you did too, and to all the readers the next games I will be reviewing will be: record of the agarest war(when it is released and I finish it), Bayonetta (cause yeah you haven't heard enough about it yet),Final Fantasy 13 (a great injustice indeed), and Battlefield Bad Company 2 (if i can find the disk). This is codemonkey singing off and remember we don't update much.
