15th century Italy and present day look exactly, and I mean exactly the same. That clip Professor X posted is insane, my God. The Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, hell, you don’t even need to visit Florence, just watch this video and play this game.
Having look at Heavy Rain for the PS3. I can’t believe the amount of detail and graphics that they are pumping out of the PS3 with this game. Defiantly going to look into this further. I wouldn’t mind something different from the usually racing and shooter games.

Yeah,man. I’ve been eyeballing this game for a while.

The Origami Killer.
It is apparently about finding a serial killer. I am loving the direction they seem to be going…unfortunately, I have to basically take off a few days to get that into a game like this. Once they really perfect the realism in games to allow you live out certain aspects like this, people may just stop going outside.

Yes…this game is very in depth with it’s storyline. It will be interesting to see how all the various choices affect the course of the game.

It isn’t your typical weekend 8 hours to beat game. This is why I refuse to play anything such as Sims. I just like to cheat code money and build huge houses (used to). No point to games like that at all, IMO. A game like this will suck you into the story to make you want to know what is going to happen next.
Reminds me. Facebook Status of a friends : “Outside is for people who suck at video games” LOL

That’s what I like about a game like this. There’s so many outcomes and by the looks of it they went into great detail in character modeling (using actual actor voices, faces, and gestures) I would imagine the story to be just as detailed.

What does everyone think of Dragon Age?

I bought it for 360 on Tuesday…haven’t had a chance to play it yet.
My co-worker got it on PC and absolutely LOVES it!
Just to put this out there: Fringe the series is pretty interesting. I bought the first season and it is like a cross between X-Files and Alias. It would be more interesting if they focused on real science, but they spend most of their time on sci fi “fringe” science (thus the name) which creates great stories but lacks some realism. The acting is pretty good.

It’s a fun show. It’s a shame that it’s doing poorly in the ratings this year since FOX’s questionable decision to move it to Thursday night. Then again, it’s not the first time FOX has made a stupid decision regarding a sci-fi themed show.

There have been few tv shows that make me want to watch every episode and this is one of them. They did well with the casting and I think I like the guy that plays the ex-insane super scientist father more than anyone else.
It sucks that it isn’t doing well.

Yes, he was a great choice and usually has at least one pretty hilarious line per episode. I really didn’t know what to expect with him because you may remember him as the creepy Steward of Gondor from the Lord of The Rings movies. He’s been a pleasant surprise.
I’ve just gotta say, I have a raging hard on for the new Alien vs. Predator.
It’s supposed to be out sometime in February.

Dragon Age is sweet.
I think they stepped up some of the game play from Mass Effect. A few very cool things:
- Six possible Prologue/Origin stories for the character you create based on what class you choose.
- You can actually play as your party members / team mates and not locked into being the lead character. If your character goes down in a fight you automatically take control of the next party member. Hell, if you don’t like the character you created you could play out the game mostly as one of the party members.
- You can chit chat with your party members at any time their stories don’t seem reliant on plot advancement
- No “Good or Evil” ranking. Instead you can earn (or bribe) your party members loyalty and respect or you can royally piss them off
- Dialogue seems smoother and more sincere.
- This game has the most indepth combat role/assignmet for your party members when they are computer controlled that I have ever seen. It is a little daunting at first but if you read the little guide book it gives a couple examples that really help.
- Coolest Video Game Dog Ever
Downsides.
- Leveling up seems a little slow
- Combat feels simple and a little slow. This may be due to early levels and fewer skills or abilities
- Some battles may be unwinnable on the first play through (or are at higher difficulty settings), so the game may be staged for multiple play thoughs. This could also be due to my own inexperience. I’m still experimenting with party arrangements and tactics.
Tip:
The Combat Tactics skill is great for party members but a waste on the character you primarily control

Sorry Man.
I’m not sold on 3-D gaming yet. Or 3-D movies either.

I hope y’all post your opinions of the game once you’ve played it. The more I learn of the game and watch the previews the more it looks like a series of quick-time events than actual game play. I hope I be wrong.

I just jizzed in my pants.
Gaaah. Too many games, not enough time.
Dragon Age is out in the US? Lucky bastards.
Shit, DA is out over here too.
There goes my social life.
