Dragon Age II Metacritic User Reviews Padded By BioWare Employees

Yet more evidence that applying a number score to a work of art, be it a movie, a novel, or a video game, is a complete waste of everyone’s time. Well, unless you’re the publisher of that work of art, or otherwise stand to benefit from being able to say, “The critics agree: it’s a ten out of ten!” People associated with BioWare have been caught (if “caught” is the right word) giving Dragon… → Read More

Video: Dragon Age 2 Debut Trailer (Has No Gameplay Footage)

BioWare has released the debut trailer of Dragon Age 2. If we were to subtitle the trailer and/or game, I’d go with “Dragon Age 2: There, Is That Enough Attitude For Ya?” → Read More

You will soon be playing Dragon Age 2

There will be a Dragon Age 2. Granted, approximately zero people expected otherwise, but it’s nice to get the official word. → Read More

There will be a Mass Effect movie. Will Lost's Matthew Fox play Commander Shepard?

It’s takes a special type of nerd to read a video game’s novelization, and I’m none too proud to say that I recently started reading the Mass Effect novel. But there’s a certain quiet dignity in reading a novelization that simply isn’t present when sitting at the multiplex (or downloading the Blu-ray rip, as it were) watching a movie. Get ready: EA has sold the movie rights to Mass Effect, and… → Read More

Video: BioWare explains why The Old Republic combat will be super-duper

It’d take a cataclysmic explosion at Yellowstone to knock World of Warcraft off its perch atop MMO Mountain, but if there’s one game that will give it a run for its money it’s BioWare’s The Old Republic. Two reasons for that: one, it’s BioWare, and two, it’s Star Wars. Star Wars in the capable hands of BioWare = goodness. And I write that knowing absolutely nothing about Star Wars—I only saw… → Read More

BioWare tries to balance the BioWare way with the attraction of new fans with Mass Effect 2

Ladies and gentlemen, I have a conundrum. As many of you know, Mass Effect 2 comes out on January 26. It’s the first big game of the year. There’s only one problem: I’m having a heck of a hard time getting excited about it. What’s wrong with me, because clearly something is? → Read More

E3 2009: The Old Republic – first cinematic trailer of Bioware's Star Wars MMO

Those crazy Star Wars types. Always like to make a scene. The music came on with no warning so I missed the first part of the fanfare, but I sure didn’t miss the two dozen lightsaber-bearing eunuchs (I think) that accompanied the Bioware and LucasArts dudes on the stage. They announced that The Old Republic will be the first-ever fully voiced MMORPG. That’s a lot of voice acting, and they say it… → Read More

Bioware to dilute Mass Effect franchise with iPhone games

Although the original Mass Effect was promoted as a go-anywhere, do-anything exploration game, it was in fact merely a varnish of exploration layered over an admittedly good action RPG. That makes the jump to the iPhone as a pure action game much less of a shock than, say, KOTOR would have been. The iPhone may even be a good platform for this sort of thing, but if they ever hope to deliver on the… → Read More

BioWare announces Mass Effect 2

Here comes another Xbox 360 exclusive (and the PC) that might irritate PS3 owners. BioWare has announced the second chapter of the Mass Effect trilogy and it’s slated for an early 2010 release. Teaser after the jump. → Read More

3 new Sonic Chronicles videos, now with terribly useless narration!

http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=39541 My hopes for Sonic Chronicles are remarkably high. I mean, come on – it’s Sega’s attempt at recreating the glory that is Super Mario RPG with the Sonic cast, and it’s made by Bioware, the only company to make an RPG worth playing since 1997. Sega/Bioware released 3 new videos today: an introduction, a gameplay video, and… → Read More

BioWare express interest in developing for iPhone

Celebrated developer BioWare, which recently released Mass Effect for the PC, has admitted that the iPhone is an “intriguing” platform. Naturally, that gives The Internet license to speculate left, right and center that it will be developing games for Apple’s smartphone. Isn’t BioWare known for long, drawn out Western RPGs? Considering their expertise doesn’t exactly… → Read More
