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.

The third expansion (World of Warcraft: Cataclysm) to Blizzard’s huge money maker (estimated $810M per year from western gamers only) is due to be released in the fourth quarter this year and there is plenty packed into this tasty US$40.00 morsel.

Brand new races

Goblins:
Yes you can now play these crafty little green men. After many a sour business deal with the ever naive Alliance, the Goblins have joined the dark side as it were.

Worgen:
These great looking wolf-men are the latest addition to the Alliance side. Not entirely tame, it will be fun to take these guys out on the prowl for some Horde blood.

[Mmm, some Tauren hide would be great right now.]

New level cap

Just 5 new levels this time to a level cap of 85. New talents, skills and a new system called the path system which will enable you to improve your characters in a completely new way.

It’s time for a make over

As well as new areas being opened, Azeroth is getting a rather large makeover. You can enjoy checking out the new scenery on your flying mount. YES, flying mounts will be usable in Azeroth once you reach level 85 but be warned they will be very expensive and you may need additional WoW gold.
These new changes will unveil all new quests which will give you some variety if you decide to start as one of the new races.

Amazon have the pre-order available.

Don’t waste precious WoW time going to the shops, get it to your door as soon as it comes out.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Check out the teaser video:

A couple of weeks ago I was looking around on the internet for some shirts with some cool nerdy slogans. I found some funny ones but none that I felt truly expressed my  inner nerdiness. My unfortunate problem is that I don’t look much like a nerd. Fitness is my other hobby and so I spend a lot of my time active and working as a Personal Trainer. Don’t get me wrong, I love being fit and healthy but I also love throwing people for a six by being awesome at games or wearing some ridiculously nerdy clothing.

Anyway, long story short I found this site J!nx. You can tell these guys are real nerds, they have J!nx experience points and gold that you can earn from being an active member on the site. Cool huh?
The site itself is quite easy to navigate and there are even licensed WoW and D&D shirts available. Shirts range from aroun US$18 to US$25 so pretty damn reasonable I feel. They currently have a promotion on if you buy 3 t-shirts you get $5 off each. So yes for you mathematicians out there that’s 15 bucks you save!

Give them a look and see what you think:

Oh and the Unofficial Battlefield: Bad Company 2 stats site is up. Check it out here.

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade has added an incredible amount of new content to the game. The level cap has been increased to 70 and along with this new talents and skills were also available. There is also two new classes, the Blood Elves (Horde) and Dranei (Alliance) which will now allow Horde to access the Paladin class and Dranei the Shaman class. Both side will need these classes as the battle on to new end game instances.

Unfortunately all of your tier gear is now outstripped by most greens that you will find in the new Outland area. If the video below doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will.

Official Trailer

World of Warcraft is an MMORPG or massive mutliplayer online role-playing game. It is focused around the story of the games Warcraft I to III which were produced by Blizzard throughout the 90′s and early 2000.

You may choose to be on Alliance (good guys) or Horde (bad dudes). Each side has four different races with different unique bonuses which range from humans to elves to orcs. Each race has access to different classes which you can then choose to play.

By far the thing that makes WoW so popular is the unending amount of content that is added to the game. The world is already huge and Blizzard update it regularly with new quests, items and places to discover. There are two expansions, The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King that have been released that also provide a massive boost to the content of the game including new races and classes. A third expansion has also been announced: Cataclysm.

Other benefits to World of Warcraft include a huge social network with 1000s of players on each server and heaps of end game adventures and challenges to complete. Due to the nature of the game it can be played and enjoyed by all ages. World of Warcraft is also supported by a large online community with tons of quest information, forums and cheap WoW gold that you can buy to save yourself time grinding and farming (10,000 gold for ~$60!).
