Sex, Guts & [Heavy Metal] - 2

And here it is, ladies and gentlemen: someone put it together.

Sex, Guts & [Heavy Metal]

So what's going on, Bioware?

Hopefully this is indeed a marketing-selective indication of how dirty it gets, rather than a sampler of how Dragon Age actually plays.

That's all I'll say for now, but I'll get back to this, post-release.

(The first BiowarEA game, after all.)

 

Edit: What a great idea by a fellow RPS reader to play the Hawaii Five-0 theme over the trailer. Try it yourselves, starting playback as soon as the Bioware logo appears!

A Brief Word of Tribute

Let me just throw in a brief word of tribute for legendary gaming developer 3D Realms (also known as the original Apogee Software), which has shut down yesterday, after effectively running out of money.

I think most of us knew Duke Nukem Forever was not to be; but it is sad to see the developing team of such gems as Bio Menace and the original Duke Nukem games go down with it...

So long, 3D Realms - and thanks for all the aliens!

"On a desk in my school, long ago, some past sixth-former had written four words: 'God is dead - Nietzsche', followed by four more: 'Nietzsche is dead - God.' "

"One massively compulsive game playable within another massively compulsive game? Why, that’s like mixing Pringles with heroin."
