And now for some incredible Dragon Age art

February 11, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 1 Comment

You thought Friday had some kickass art? Actually, yes, yes it did. SO how about some more then, from that other EA franchise, Dragon Age? Once again, the CGHub via Kotaku has revealed some stunning pieces of arts, as the pros from that industry have come together to put their own stamp on that more medieval world.

Bioware’s spy game that never was

December 7, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 6 Comments

I don’t know how many of you played Obsidian’s Alpha Protocol. I loved it; a spy-thriller RPG that was made up of really great ideas that were, for the most part, unfortunately poorly executed. It did, however, make people really want a quality Spy RPG, and that could have come from Bioware – only EA axed it before it ever really began.

Fus Roh Dragon Age 3 anyone?

December 5, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 22 Comments

Quick, name one of the best fantasy games to come out on consoles this generation! The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim? Yes! 10/10 points to you! There’s no denying that the Bethesda developed and published game that arrived a year ago was an absolute slobber-knocker of a title, even if it did hate PS3 players and had its fair share of glitches and loading screens. Overall, it was a successful game, and that’s a bit of lightning in a bottle that Bioware is hoping to capture for Dragon Age 3: The Inquisition.

Rumour – Could Dragon Age 3 be a next-gen title?

November 29, 2012 at 7:45 am | 41 Comments

So what’s next for Dragon Age? What we do know, is that the game is targeting a 2014 release date, and will ship with the moniker of Inquisition attached to it. And much like that classic Monty Python joke, it could also unexpectedly show up on next-gen systems as well.

Cosplay has really started to boom here in S.A over the last year and keeps on getting better. One of our local cosplayers will be featured on the cover of an international cosplay book, co-authored by the breath taking and famous Yaya Han.

Dragon Age 3: Inquisition gets new gameplay details and concept art

October 22, 2012 at 9:45 am | 2 Comments

Ha ha! No one expected the Dragon Age 3: Inquisition! Our two chief weapons are surprise, sequel milking and nice shiny new concept art pieces! While Dragon Age 2 may have been a clusterbomb of bad gameplay and cheap ideas, it looks like EA has learnt from that blunder of a sequel, as they’ll be bringing in some new features for the third game, all rolled up in a world that is biblical in scale.

EA Confirms Dragon Age 3: Inquistion, new details surface

September 18, 2012 at 9:00 am | 44 Comments

Love or hate Bioware, there’s no denying that they can certainly make some damn fine games. And then you get Dragon Age, the black spot on their track record. A fantasy RPG, the first Dragon Age game actually built up a decent entry for the new franchise, before the rushed sequel cocked all that hard work up. Still, never say die, as EA has confirmed that a third game is on the way, with Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.

And no one was expecting that!

Is Half-Life 3 and Dragon Age 3 returning at Gamescom?

August 14, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 43 Comments

There are quite a few games making their debut this year at Gamescom, from sequels to all new IPs. But will we see the return of Gordon Freeman and the fantasy RPG from Bioware? The event itself, certainly thinks so.

Bioware wants to know where you want Dragon Age to go

March 20, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 33 Comments

Mass Effect 3 might be all the rage at the moment - but Bioware would like to take the time to remind you that it has another fabled RPG series this generation - and that they’re done with the much maligned Dragon Age II. With that in the bag, they’re now looking at how how they’ll proceed with the game’s inevitable sequel.

Obviously trying to avoid the mistakes of the past, they’re looking to fans to steer the series’ direction.

Dragon Age getting multiplayer?

December 1, 2011 at 12:15 pm | 11 Comments

Mass Effect 3, Bioware’s space opera RPG is getting multiplayer - so why not add it to their current medieval fantasy RPG Dragon Age?

According to Kotaku’s insiders, that’s exactly what’ll be happening.

Bioware looks to diversify

May 20, 2011 at 11:30 am | 2 Comments

Though the company has a long history, right now the mention of Bioware conjures up images of two things; Mass Effect and Dragon Age; a space themed RPG, and a fantasy one. Last generation, saying Bioware would have mostly brought up Knights of the Old Republic and Baldur’s Gate; A space themed RPG, and a fantasy one.

When poked by Gamasutra, the company revealed that it would like to move beyond the confines of those two genres to broaden its general appeal.

Silent Hill and Dragon Age get fan film treatment

March 30, 2011 at 2:00 pm | 2 Comments

So, how has your Wednesday been so far? Pretty normal I would imagine. Well I am pleased to report that it is about to get a whole lot better and/or freakishly disturbing. It might seem strange to see Silent Hill in the same sentence as Dragon Age, but it just so happens that these two fan made trailers share the same director, Leo Kei Angelos. Both of these trailers are planned for released as complete short films later this year. Check out the trailers after the jump.

Dragon Age goes live action!

February 15, 2011 at 2:00 pm | 9 Comments

This kinda came out of nowhere. USA Today is reporting that Bioware’s fantasy RPG Dragon Age will be turned in to a 6 part, live action web series.

If the geek in you isn’t excited by that, perhaps that fact that it’s written by, and starring nerd darling Felicia Day of The Guild fame might change your mind.

In Other News – 27 August 2010

It’s finally bloody Friday. It’s been a heck of a long, trying week – and the nasty strikes in the education and health sectors haven’t made the week any more pleasant. Besides drinking yourselves in to a stupor, what are you planning to do this weekend?

Nick’s off to the Drakensberg with his lovely wife, presumably to spend the weekend exploring peaks. Me? I have no plans! i may just tackle that ever-increasing pile of shame; The myriad of games I have that I just haven’t completed yet.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we’ve been beating Metro cops to death with our bare hands.*

*Did I say Metro cops? I totally meant eggs. Totally.

Dragon Age: Origin’s Sex & Violence Trailer

May 14, 2009 at 9:00 am | 1 Comment

For me, this is one I’m overly excited about. The RPG makers BioWare being thrown together with the action-junkies EA, is about as exciting as the announcement of brandy flavoured Coca-Cola! Actually, why hasn’t anyone announced that yet? I don’t know. Well, these guys have created a rather fabulous trailer for their upcoming game Dragon Age: Origins; dubbed "Sex & Violence", it could be very well one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen -- the Marilyn Manson certainly doesn't hurt. I’m gonna shut up now and simply allow you to be as amazed as I was with this video… So sit back, buckle up and get ready to start salivating:
