  • Dragon Age: Origins posted on 11/3/2009
  • When we first saw Dragon Age at E3, we walked away skeptical, grumbling at the rough graphics and odd focus on character interactions that bordered on high school level drama. Compared to the butter smooth E3 demo for Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age looked like it would end up being the black sheep of the family. Well, shame on us for doubting the wizards at BioWare: they worked their magic and turned that early demo into another must-have masterpiece. Deep and engaging, it's sure to please any RPG fan looking for a long and satisfying adventure. Even better, it will keep us all busy until Mass Effect 2 comes out in 2010.
  • Hearts of Iron III
  • Hearts of Iron III posted on 8/11/2009
  • Paradox has been known for his emphasis on historic strategy games for well over a decade, and arguably its best-received series has been Hearts of Iron - which looks at the Second World War. Now a third installment of that series has been released, with what may seem to be scads of improvements and expanded to be the company's most ambitious game ever.
  • East India Company
  • East India Company posted on 7/28/2009
  • Trading games don't come along too often these days, and few games manage to look at such an interesting historical theme as "the Orient -- vast trading networks that developed between Europe. Finnish developers Nitro Games have set their sights on just such things with their new game, East India Company.

  • Free is good. Along with the words sex, chocolate, and Eliza Dushku, the word free is almost always associated with something positive. Free beer, a month's free rent, and buy-one-get-one-free are all great. But of course there are times when getting something for free isn't such a sweet deal. Free haircuts, free lint, and free root canals are bad.
  • Trine
  • Trine posted on 7/8/2009
  • Trine is a high-production benchmark for downloadable games, earning GamePro's praise alongside such games as Super Stardust HD and PixelJunk Monsters. Unfortunately it's a bit overpriced on the PC, so you might want to keep your eyes peeled for the PlayStation 3 version that is $10 cheaper.
  • The Sims 3
  • The Sims 3 posted on 6/2/2009
  • When I first started playing The Sims 3, it was seven o'clock at night. When I next looked up from my computer to check the time, it was 7:30 - the next morning. That's when I knew that, once again, I was hooked on the Sims.
