Great news for fans of the game Dragon Age!

EA is planning to launch a new Dragon Age title in Q4 of its fiscal 2011, which means sometime between January 1 and March 31, 2011.

The title is currently listed as “TBA – To be announced” and should release on Consoles, Handhelds and PC’s.

Dante’s inferno is hitting store shelves next week (February 9th 2010) and already early reviews are coming in. One look at www.metacritic.com and you will find that the game (PS3, PSP, Xbox 360) is getting an average score of 75/100 stating the drop in score is mainly due to a lack of originality, comparing it to the God of War franchise.

While I understand professional reviews need to break down things like Graphics, Gameplay, Replay Value, etc… I believe that at some point we need to bring back “Fun Factor”.

So what if the game rips a ton from God of War, does it look good? Does it play good? And most importantly is it FUN?

That’s really what I want to know and with that the waiting game begins for Feb 9th, when I can try out Dante’s Inferno for myself and give my own “unbiased” thoughts on if the game deserves the 75 avg score its netting thus far.

What do you all think? Are reviews overanalyzing games now days or am I just crazy?

So this weekend I went looking for a Wii since my old one broke on me (GPU Failure) and is out of warranty and to my surprise I found out they are still in great demand.

Best Buy, Gamestop, Sams Club, Walmart and Toys R Us were all out of stock. Most places I went to stated the same thing “you should have got here first thing in the morning if you wanted one”. However, later that day I was lucky enough to find one at my local Target but it really got me thinking.

Are Wii’s still that hard to find or is it just my area? What have been your findings?

We are getting mixed impressions on this one but would love to hear from the community on this.

joystiq.com (LINK HERE) is stating that Mass Effect 2 is not only the best game created by BioWare but also the best Action RPG ever! Do you agree? Sound off your comments and let us know.
