Best RPG PC Game or Expansion 2010
February 26, 2011 By
Ok guys, you had a month to vote for what you felt was the best PC RP game or expansion of 2010 and now 504 votes later it’s all closed. It was super close between Dragon Age: Orgins – Awakening and Mass Effect 2 but one had to be the winner.
Here are YOUR top 5.
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.
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.

Fallout New Vegas Collector’s Edition
May 12, 2010 By
Bethesda appear to be ramping up the media releases on New Vegas as the release date draws closer and closer. Gamespot were recently let loose at Fallout New Vegas as well as other prominent online gamer magazines.
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.
Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition Game Guide by Prima Games – Review
April 22, 2010 By
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I actually pre-ordered this book, which I have never done with a game guide before. The deal was ‘get 20% the guide if you present your reciept’. I wasn’t disappointed. The Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition comes in hard cover format, rather than just soft paper copy like the standard version. Smack bang on the front is our favourite cartoon man the Pip Boy.
Noob moment: Initially I thought I had received a dodgy version because the book looked all beaten up. On closer inspection I just discovered that it was the design of the book and marks where just shades in the graphics.
What you will find inside this book
The Map
An A2 print out of the World Map with smaller, detailed maps of points of interest like towns. Includes markers of towns and load points. [Read more...]
Fallout New Vegas Official Trailer Released
March 19, 2010 By
Without further ado…
Here is the video:
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?
