SG Review: Dragon Age: Origins

December 4th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Asking me to review Dragon Age: Origins is a bit like asking a quadruple amputee to tell you his thoughts on Guitar Hero… I’m just saying that I may not be the best qualified for the job.  Has my lack of role playing game chops affected my take on this highly touted and much [...]

If The King was alive, which he very well may be, we think he would wholeheartedly approve of the latest installment of Reviewsical.  This time around, The SG Brown Show crew takes aim at… Dragon Age.
Enjoy the show (after the jump)

Review of the Reviews of Dragon Age: Origins

November 5th, 2009 · 14 Comments

Welcome to the reintegration of an arguably ancient SG feature, Review of the Reviews. In this feature, we essentially take on Metacritic at their own game, but rather than summarizing every review into a score, we use words. Words are better, right? Better than numbers? I mean, what was the last binary play you went [...]

Eurogamer Expo: My Take On Dragon Age: Origins’ Platform Performances

November 2nd, 2009 · 5 Comments

As I said on our first podcast of the weekend, Dragon Age was one of my more anticipated titles to see and get hands-on with. Well I did get hands-on with it, briefly, for as long as I could stand to keep my eyes on that screen.
You know that feeling you get when you look [...]

“If You Like Browser-Based Games, You’ll Love This!” – EA. (I made that quote up)

October 22nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

BioWare: “Hello, would you like to play a game we’ve made?”
Krelith: *DROPS PHONE AND RUNS TO NEAREST PC*
That’s the way that conversation would go if it ever happened in real life. Which it hasn’t… YET. Still, there be some news on the ol’ BioWare/Dragon Age front. AND IT INVOLVES A GAME.

Launch DLC for Dragon Age sure to cause an unnecessary stir

October 9th, 2009 · 3 Comments

At first glance, BioWare’s launch DLC for Dragon Age: Origins seems like an evil scheme to charge consumers for content that could have been included on the disc. That’s the conclusion I jumped to anyway. Good thing I read the press release in its entirety, rather than rushing to WordPress to post a spirited reaction.

PAX 2009 Video – Dragon Age

September 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Doc and I were running around looking for a restroom and bumped into the guys from Bioware.  As you can see by the ending, we made a beeline for the restroom.  It’s a no frills interview… Now that we’ve relieved ourselves I’d really like to do that interview again.  Oh well.

SG-PSP Episode 60: Continental Brothers

July 10th, 2009 · 5 Comments

In our 60th episode we discuss the impending end of “The Big Bet” between Rothbart and Frawlz, Sony’s new patent to allow the use of real world objects in-game, and BioWare’s optimistic attitude toward PS3 development.  We also discuss the first PSP game to sell 3.5M copies (and none of us have even played it!)   [...]

E3 09: Dragon Age: Origins Dated and Looking Dramatic!

June 1st, 2009 · No Comments

BioWare’s “spiritual successor” to Baldur’s Gate, the much-anticipated Dragon Age: Origins, has been dated, and that date of release is October 20th.
The trailer, backed by Marilyn Manson’s “This is the New Sh*t,” is entirely bad-ass and looks straight out of a hollywood blockbuster.
And yes, there’s a sex scene. Fox News, be on the ready!
Oh, and [...]
