Here are YOUR top 5.

5 – Divinity II: Ego Draconis

From the website:

Following the lineage of these two much-acclaimed RPGs, Divinity II: Ego Draconis has adapted many of the most famous elements that made these two original games classics. Divinity II: Ego Draconis makes use of the same classless system that was incorporated in Divine Divinity, which allows you to choose your own path as you become a Dragon Knight.

4 – Fallout: New Vegas

Bethesda’s only RPG release for 2010 made it’s way into the top 5 games. I was surprised that it didn’t rank higher though. I believe many gamers felt that they just ended up with an expansion for Fallout 3 which visually it did seem like that. However, gameplay and story wise it was classic Fallout thanks to the development team being largely from Obsidian Entertainment. Definitely worth checking out.

3 – World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

It’s not surprising that the third World of Warcraft expansion found it’s way to the top 3. The sheer number of WoW gamers was sure to give it’s placing a nice boost. This expansion, like the others, threw the game in it’s head with several new features such as Goblins and Worgens, new raid options and completely changed maps.

2 – Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2 scraped in at a close second. Bioware did a great job at responding to community suggestions from the first Mass Effect and fixing annoying things like the inventory system. They did however add that really annoying probe mining system that had a way of chewing up gaming time that you really wanted to spend blowing bad dudes up. A great looking game, I look forward to taking on the Repears in Part 3.

1 – Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening

There it is, number one… and it’s an expansion. It’s not surprising that the expansion to the highest rated game of 2009 would take place as the best PC RPG of 2010. Building off the enthralling story of Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening throw’s your character right back into the fray. Apparently the Darkspawn are NOT dead so you have to quest again to defeat them once more. A must play, but be sure to play Dragon Age: Origins first.

Below is a list of all the games I can think of that came out last year. I’ve also included expansions because groups like Blizzard include a lot of extra content in their expansions.

Vote away!

One of the more recent things they announced was what would be included in their Collector’s Edition.

Thankfully it’s not just a rebranded version of the Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition (which was awesome by the way) but a series of new merchandise (that is casino themed of course) that you can add to your Fallout collection.

Included in the pack is:

• 8 Gaming Casino Chips.
  One from each of the 7 casinos found in Fallout New Vegas as well as a special Platinum Chip recreation.
• Deck of Cards.
  Use these Fallout New Vegas themed cards to challange your friends to game of Caravan which is a brand new game created for Fallout New Vegas.
• Hard Cover Novel.
  This book, called ‘All Roads’ contains some of the back stories of characters that you will meet during your trip.
• ‘Making of’ DVD.
  Looks like an interesting documentary(/marketing piece) with a look behind the scenes on the creation and development of this latest Fallout game.
• DVD copy of the game.

This looks like one of the more awesome Collector’s Edtions that I’ve seen. You can always use an extra deck of cards and I think the DVD would be really interesting to watch. I always enjoy finding out why they make certain decisions about characters, plots and objects in games.

With the release date still being listed as some time in Fall of this year, it’s time to put down that $10 to pre-order Fallout New Vegas at your favourite store.

War… War never changes.

And so apparently do Fallout videos. Yes this video is definitely designed to get you excited about the new Fallout game, rather than tell you much about it. Like all other Fallout teaser videos we get the classic blues song playing over the top of a rather desolate wasteland.

What is the robot doing?

Apparently the robot is searching for precious items in the desert. The reasons behind this are unknown. It is rather neat how it can balance on one wheel though.

[Damn those pesky gecko's]

Who is making Fallout New Vegas?

Obsidian, which is mostly made up of Interplay (Fallout 1, 2 and Baldur’s Gate) team members, has been contracted by Bethesda Softworks to make this game. This is a really good thing as we will see a lot more traditional characteristics coming through in this game. Hopefully things like turn based combat, very interesting and quirky characters, and maybe some decent HtH combat.

When can we expect it?

As the video said Fall 2010. Most likely October or November.

Can we preorder it yet?

Hells yea! For you convenience I have added the Amazon and Play-Asia links below.
