Battle Feild Bad Company 2:

An amazing game, but before I go on, let's look back. The release of Battlefield 1942 revolutionized FPS gaming. Then BF2 released, another foothold in FPS history. And now for Bad Company 2;

As everyone has seen, over the last few months the highly anticipated Modern Warfare 2 was released. A large uprising about the lack of dedicated servers. Why do I bring this up? Because BC2 was the MW2 we never had. Astonishing graphics, constant action and amazing multiplayer gameplay. Oh, did I mention it has dedicated servers? multiple game modes and mandatory teamwork keep the game interesting at every turn. I reccommend this game to any avid FPS player, and to those I have talked to all agree it blows MW2 out of the water.

Anyways, that's my little rant about MW2 and praise of BC2

well first of all BC2 is an amazing especially in online multiplayer! I feel like my impression of BBC2 is going to sound similar to what those who heralded Modern Warfare 2 expressed last year.   For me, BBC2 is everything I want in a modern FPS.  It has a short action filled campaign, a fully realized and deep multi-player, and a variety of balanced weapons and vehicles.  Never have I seen so many different mechanics seamlessly welded together, in order to create a cohesive and novel gameplay experience.  It's a game that succeeds where other games have failed, through the developers willingness to fine tune the final product thoroughly and patiently.  Thus, it provides an excellent gameplay experience, that is hard to get bored of, and filled with novel excitements.

Free day pass for you too.

a review of Dragon age: Origins.  I have to say that this game was absolutely amazing.  The characters were very memorable, the story was compelling, combat was fun (especially on computer), and the game comes in at around 50 hrs in length.   The game functions similar to an mmo when played on PC.  There is a tremendous amount of loot and gear for the player and customization is implemented well which is always a critical element in rpgs.  If anyone has any familiarity with fantasy systems such as in Dungeons and Dragons then they will feel right at home.  All in all, I have to give the game a 9 out of 10 because while the game is amazing, it tends to drag at certain times throughout the game that the developers added for length.  This game is a must play.

Review

Dragon Age: Origins

Dragon Age is by far one of the best games of 2009, and the best RPG of 2009.  Being developed by Bioware, a powerhouse when it comes to RPGs, games such as Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect.  Dragon Age is set in the fantasy universe with Elfs, Dwarfs, and mystical mages.  The story is phenomenal, deep rich dialog, perfect voice overs and hours of pure enjoyment.  The game combat is definitely entertaining, depending on the settings, some fights take some strategy to do.   Interaction with your fellow party members is very enjoyable, you get tons of dialog and feel emotionally drawn to them.   There are tons of monsters to kill, massive amounts of cool loot, and tons of quests to keep you busy.  Being a 40+ hour game, it never becomes dull and there is always something to do.  The main story is epic and leaves you wanting more.  Dragon Age is a must play for all RPG enthusiasts.  This is game comes out on XBOX, PS3 and PC.  But this game is meant for the PC, looks and feels better.  The interface is poorly done on the console versions.  For that reason, I'd give the game a 8.5/10 on consoles and a 9.5/10 on PC.
