If you’re a fan of RPG’s, chances are you’ve played either or both of Bioware’s epic RPG’s, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. Both games are very good games that are very different. And both games have been heavily supported with post release DLC. In fact, both games received new DLC packs on the same day yesterday. “Lair of the Shadow Broker” came out for Mass Effect 2 yesterday for roughly $10, and Witch Hunt came out for Dragon Age: Origins for $7. GamesEyeView has had a chance to play both of them, and they thought they’d give you a rundown of what to expect from both of these DLC packs and give you a side by side comparison of the two to help you decide if you should take the plunge on either or both of these packs.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

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."
That's pretty suprising. I thought the Witch Hunt would get scored higher with all the hype...must not have had the shock ending they suggested.
