Abstrakt: The original Dragon Age released in a gaming market that, in hindsight, was incredibly apt for its arrival. There hadn't been any epic console games released in years. The other games of its ilk were lackluster at best, and their titles were synonymous...
Combat is fast and fun yet retains much of its strategic appeal; Kirkwall serves as grand adventure hub in the spirit of Baldur's Gate II's Athkatla; BioWare creates another memorable character in Varric.

It's amazing that Bioware would take its premier IP, and take risks with it, while still turning out a genuinely interesting RPG
The reaction to this game is going to discourage anyone from trying anything innovative ever again
With Dragon Age 2, Bioware has delivered a very different RPG that's still set within the very interesting world it came up with in Dragon Age 1. It's an ace combination...
Abstrakt: Bioware, the studio behind Dragon Age 1 and 2, have carved out a niche for themselves in the world of RPGs. Consistently they release games that delve deep into the original universes they create. Political intrigue, frighteningly in-depth plots, unique a...
I thoroughly enjoyed Dragon Age II and the new streamlined interface definitely makes playing the game a much more enjoyable experience. It may be set in another dusty old sword and sorcery universe but the game mechanics, characters and story a create...
