Dragon Age: Origins rockin’ a Triple Platform Status

BioWare has just announced that their one of their latest blockbusters, Dragon Age: Origins, has amassed 3.2 million in sales, taking it up the triple platinum ranks. Stack that on top of Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and Mass Effect, this is their 6th consecutive blockbuster title. Plus, it’s a damn good game and deserves every bit of this!

“This is a tremendous start for the Dragon Age franchise and we are extremely pleased with the great reception the game has already received from critics and fans worldwide,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. “Our team is dedicated to crafting high quality, engaging new adventures and stories in the world of Ferelden for our fans!”

What now? Mass Effect 2, baby.

Get free Cerberus armor and a shotgun in Mass Effect 2

Connected to the Cerberus Network in Mass Effect 2? Then you can pick yourself up some free DLC for the game. The DLC will be the Cerberus Assault Armor” and the “M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun.”

As for stats for equipment, the Cerberus Assault Armor will increase the Heavy weapon ammo capacity, shields, and health by a nice little 10%. Although the helmet stays on at all time from what I know, so that’s kind of disappointing.

The shotgun pierces armor and is even pretty affective at long ranges. Sound good? It’s free man, completely free. So go pick yourself up some DLC and keep enjoying the hell out of Mass Effect 2!

Poor, defenseless animals worldwide have been turned into flesh-eating, hemoglobin-swilling terrors. Fortunately, the world has Alex, who happens to be one of the world’s foremost biologists and specializes in viral mutation profiles and genetic manipulation. Every studious biologist facing imminent global annihilation needs a sweet ride, and Alex is no exception. He has S.O.P.H.I.A., a shape-shifting, gas-guzzling, projectile-spewing paean to destruction on four wheels. Things look grim, but with Alex and S.O.P.H.I.A. on the case, the world just might have a chance.

UK Sales Charts for Week Ending 2/6/10 – The “That’s right you better stay down there Just Dance” edition

Yep, it looks like Mass Effect 2, surprisingly enough, is sitting on top of Just Dance as well as every other game in the UK for last week’s sales. Unlike last week though, there’s a lot more moving and shaking in the charts, almost the majority of it going down. I know what you’re thinking: “how can Football Manager 2010 be moving down!?”. Yeah, we don’t have an answer for you, only that you should probably stop playing Football Manager 2010.

In the Middle East? No Dante’s Inferno for you

We were pretty much expecting this, but now it has been confirmed. Dante’s Inferno will not be offered in the Middle East, joining titles like God of War III, and the Darksiders. Man, 2010 for gaming is gonna be exciting over there!

This will definitely not stop people from getting the game of course, you just won’t be able to pick it up anywhere there…and it might be frowned upon with some of your friends.

Damn you government approval!

Removal of DLC makes for a small going-away party for Halo 2

We knew that Microsoft was planning on terminating online support for the original Xbox, and they happened to remove the DLC for games, which is affected Halo 2. Matchmaking on the game requires all maps to play, so if you don’t have all of them, then there’s not much you can do.

The Bungie forums are full of people saddened by the news of the DLC removal and not able to play the game. Well a community manager for Bungie stepped in and replied to the people.

“On it. Not sure what, if any, solution we can work out, but we definitely can’t adjust the playlists over the weekend. Sit tight.”

Bungie was planing on doing a farewell on April 14th, and it looks like due to the removal of the DLC…we don’t know how many people are going to be able to attend.

A lot of people are seeing if they can get the game’s Multiplayer Map Pack disc and seeing if that will solve the problem, although whether it will or not is still unknown.

WWII level to be featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2

It looks like we’re learning even more about the upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2 still. The ESRB rating happens to mention: “players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day.” On really, now?

It looks like they’re testing the waters for the WWII genre in video games, as it hasn’t been very well accepted nowadays. I think that the game is going to execute it well and DICE is going about it the right way. As I’ve said before, I really see this as a big competitor to the dominate Modern Warfare 2 of right now.

I’ll punch a ninja in a face, kick a ninja in the junk

Yeah, that’s just one verse from the rap in the video above of the old-school NES game Bad Dudes. It’s kind of incoherent and full of profanity, but it is so…damn…awesome.
