I’ve bellyached for quite some time now about my need for a game with a strong story that wasn’t repetitive and managed to hold my interest for longer than an hour.
Looks like I just might find that in Dragon Age: Origins.
Even though I am a diehard PS3 fan [fangirl?] this is one game that I’m probably going to get for PC based on the awesome Tool Set. See below.
The character creation reminds me a bit of Oblivion and I’m not complaining. Being able to micromanage the character traits added realism to the game and made me feel more connected with …read more

When I buy a game, I always consider the game’s replay value.
If it’s a cut-and-dry RPG then I go into the purchase knowing that I’m probably not going to replay it and I just hope for a really long game. If it’s a FPS then there had better be some good on-line play going on.
Call of Duty:4 is a good cross between the two.
You have a great story when you play the game from start to finish AND you have a solid [and addictive] on-line component.

I love Fallout. I played the first two games with gusto, and I’m looking forward to the third part. Others gamers worry that Fallout 3 would just be “Oblivion with guns” because it’s also being developed by Bethesda so perhaps the video would change your minds.
However, I do have a new concern with Fallout 3.

Do you still remember how PC gamers pined for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion two years ago? How could I forget? I was part of the crowd that couldn’t run the gargantuan RPG. I noticed that gamers of today face a similar challenge when running Crysis, that FPS that almost-gleefully punishes average PCs for trying. Ever wondered how it would be like if we combined the two games into one? This is how the Imperial City would look like when it uses the CryEngine.

There are many words to describe Halo 3. Fans would call it “teh awesome,” others think “multiplayer is king,” and I say “Bungie’s on to something here.” But if there’s any description I wouldn’t give Halo 3, it’s what Time Magazine just used:
“Like a pebble that has been rounded over the centuries by the gentle splashing of the ocean waves, Halo 3 has become the perfect hardcore first-person combat simulator.”
Pebble rounded by the gentle splashing of waves? Good grief.
What’s even stranger is Time’s decision to put in Ace Combat 6 and skip out on bigger hits like Crysis, The Burning …read more
