I received some early code for Dragon Age: Origins for PC from EA a month or so ago and only got to play a little bit of it then. It’s only recently in the process of turning my back a little on the crapfest that is Aion that I’ve really managed to sit down and concentrate on Dragon Age. I can tell you now that it’s a fantastic game and I haven’t had the pleasure of playing an RPG as good as this for PC since Dungeon Siege II.

I decided to blog about the games I play on a more personal level.

Format: PS3 Release version: Retail version Distributor: Monaco/THQ New Zealand Developer: Vigil Christmas brought some nice goodies to my house including Darksiders which I have been totally hyped to play. Although I’ve only played it for a few hours, it really is pretty cool and alot of fun. If you’re a God of War fan, you will certainly see similarities between the two games. There is a whole lot of content in Darksiders that doesn’t have any similarity to GoW at all though, so if action games are your thing, it’s definitely worth checking it out or at least hiring it out for a day.
