Assassins creed 2 hit with good reviews but still didn’t have the prowess to knock the daddy of the top spot. Great to see Dragon Age in the top 20 as it is a QUALITY game. I would review it but to be honest its going to be mid 2010 before I even finish it!

WARNING: There is fairly major story spoilers in this so if you want to stay unspoiled avoid the below video.

Mass Effect 2 was originally set for release this month but is now being released at the end of January, cosy in the fact that it’s close to pay day after xmas. Was it a case of release against Modern Warfare or try and flog two big RPG’s in one month!? Could they not have just released Dragon Age in February or something? Surely the slew of developers clearing out of Activision’s way was enough to tell them that it was suicide? Every site you go to has trailers for Biowares latest splashed all over them so what was the plan? Was it to swoop in and give gamers an offer they couldn’t refuse just before Infinity Ward dropped the smack down on the whole planet? I don’t know but if it was then Borderlands may well have went and dropped a big green turd in Bioware’s drink.

Hey, I’m sure they know what there doing but I know for me personally after Borderlands got the review hype it did I splashed out on that title last week, as lots of people did. So, this is the thing – borderlands has enough content to do me on till Modern Warfare comes out, ergo I will trade it in for Modern Warfare. Not a bother but if I fork out for Dragon Age this week and love it, I have to throw down full price for another game a couple of days later.

Am I the only one in this predicament? Doubt it.

So is the extra success of Borderlands going to funk up Biowares plans to hopefully exploit the lull in the pre Modern Warfare 2 market? If they weren’t trying to exploit the lull then it was just straight up madness to release such a big expensive and ambitious title less then a week before a game that has 240 Ka-Gillianananan pre orders.

Maybe I’m just raving on but I still don’t have the cash to buy three €50 games in three weeks. If only Dragon Age had come out 2 weeks earlier, it would have been a no brainer for me even up against Uncharted 2.

Anyone want to weigh in on this? I’m sure there is a point somewhere in there?

Silverman mentions that the game is a single player MMO online experience, I hope the negatives aspect of MMO gameplay he mentions include button spamming combat because the boxes at the bottom of the hud have me concerned. What ever about the combat system, 800hrs of content?! Massive single player campaign with online elements? Good old Bioware.

As a bonus you can have the new(ish) cinematic trailer too.

It may be this obsession that made me sit through four and a half minutes of a guy fiddling around with menu’s and brown looking clothes but damn it I enjoyed it, but you mite not, so I added a little something after the break to keep you entertained if Elf clothes ain’t you thang.
