Dragon Age: Origins is a fantastic RPG from Bioware that takes all of the things that made Knights of the Old Republic great, sticks them into a medieval-themed setting, and improves on many of them until the end result is something that ends up one of the best games this year. The story is amazingly in-depth and well written, the graphics are beautiful and well detailed, and the audio is stunning and fits the experience exceptionally. The gameplay is easy enough to learn and makes combat a snap while offering plenty of depth and strategy for players looking for it, and between the large amount of choices for how to level and develop characters and the great amount of equipment available, you'll spend plenty of time working on your party and enjoying every minute of it. The game is lengthy and involved, and thanks to the promise of future DLC and the ability to make a completely different character every time you play, it's likely you'll be back to play the game again. The game sometimes feels a bit TOO much like Knights of the Old Republic, unfortunately, and occasionally feels like it was designed to offer a compromise, control-wise, for PC and console play that doesn't quite seem like it would be pleasing for either. Further, the fact that there is Day One DLC available for the game is bad, which is made worse by the fact that the DLC will feel like an obligatory purchase to some players, and the fact that an in-game NPC shills this DLC is, frankly, kind of weird and crass. Overall, however, Dragon Age: Origins is easily one of the best RPG's specifically and one of the best games in general to be released this year, and should be a must buy for anyone who's looking for a good, in-depth experience to carry them for a while… or, for 360 owners, until Mass Effect 2 comes out at least.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
