Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition Confirmed, Arrives Oct 12

Those of you who follow our site (particularly our podcast) know that I'm a huge Dragon Age fan, and can probably talk your ear off for hours about the game. While an "ultimate" edition of the game had been rumored for some time now, EA has finally revealed the existence of said edition.

The Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition will include the original game, plus all additional content released thus far. This means the Awakening expansion, plus all the DLC (9 separate packs), all for only $60 (or $50 for the PC version). Not a bad deal, since the total value is approximately double that.

Review: Dragon Age: Origins - Witch Hunt (DLC)

When Witch Hunt was announced as the final and potentially grandest DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, I was excited. I had recently finished up my second, and by all accounts definitive, playthough of the game. I've played every single DLC thus far, liking the majority of them with a few finding a special place in my heart. I enjoyed Awakening, despite its bugs, and even have high hopes for the apparently very different Dragon Age 2 coming our way next year. But above and through all this was the one burning question left to me at the end of Origins: When do I get to go after Morrigan? In each of my playthroughs, I chose to sleep with Morrigan and spawn some kind of hellchild. To me, there was no other option. That ending is THE ending of Dragon Age: Origins. It takes arguably the two most important characters and gives them a continuing story. Yes, the game ends, but it ends with so much potential. The trailers and announcement of Witch Hunt gave me the very strong impression that this DLC would be the one to rule them all. This DLC would tell the tale of Morrigan, and possibly even put to rest the many questions we were left with so many months ago.

Kill Kast 14: Gaming Merch and Our Fav Soundtracks

The Kill Kast is back again and we hope to start a new streak of consecutive podcasts. In Episode 14 Stephanie, Eric and Rebecca get together to talk about what they’ve been playing which includes Dragon Quest IX, StarCraft 2 and Mafia II. We go through some recent news such as Mass Effect hitting the PS3, the Windows Phone 7 and the Sony PSP phone. For our topic(s) this week we discuss last week’s Community Voice and what you all said along with our recent Staff Picks and why we love those soundtracks. We also talk about Dragon Age a whole lot, mainly why Origins is so awesome and why Dragon Age 2 has us worried. It happens. I think it's high time we just start a separate Dragon Age podcast...

Dragon Age II Announced

BioWare fans, you know one of the big disappointments of E3 was the lack of any news about the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins. Never fear, friends, for today BioWare has revealed Dragon Age II. As usual, Game Informer has snagged the exclusive 10-page reveal, and those of us who don't subscribe (or don't have a GameStop nearby) will be forced to suffice with the bare-bones webpage BioWare has provided, which you can find here.

Dragon Age “Darkspawn Chronicles” DLC May 18th

This is short news, but news nonetheless! Today on Xbox Press a listing for a Dragon Age: Origins DLC was posted. It doesn't say what the "Darkspawn Chronicles" DLC is about, and under the description just gives the original game's tagline. However, we can speculate, no? I'm hoping for something prequel-ish, but that's wishful fanboyism. Or maybe the tale of young Scroot? The Darkspawn

Review: Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening

Grey Wardens will be venturing to the land of Amaranthine in Dragon Age: Awakening, BioWare’s first expansion to the hit Dragon Age: Origins. It is in Amaranthine that you will be embarking on a brand new 15-20 hour adventure as the Commander of the Grey, either as an imported character or a brand new Warden from Orlais. It’s a short stint that offers new side quests, new characters and of course, a new story line.

Review: Dragon Age: Origins - Return to Ostagar (DLC)

With the unfortunate last minute release date delay, the Return to Ostagar content had the misfortune of following in the mighty footsteps of Mass Effect 2. Had it come out with time to spare before the wicked began feasting upon their precious space cargo, it may have seen better sales. I'm sure many are more than unwilling to switch back to BioWare's "other" RPG that players may have pillaged and ransacked several times over by now. As much as I love Mass Effect from the bottom of my heart -- I was willing to pop that glorious disc in and find out if it's worth your valuable time (and money).

Dragon Age: Origins DLC “Return to Ostagar” Announced

BioWare has announced yet another piece of DLC goodness for their barely-two-week-old RPG Dragon Age: Origins. Return to Ostagar will, surprisingly enough, bring you back to Ostagar and allow you to take revenge upon the darkspawn and quest for King Cailan's lost armor and weapons. Coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, the Return to Ostagar DLC will be released before year's end for $5 (400 MSP). (more...)

This 24 hour competition taking place in London, England will host ten four-player teams from all over the world including a team "comprised of the most loyal BioWare fans." I don't know why I haven't been contacted yet... but I'm waiting BioWare. Anyway, what's the point of this competition other than to play some sweet Dragon Age: Origins? Oh, the grand prize is $50,000 per team (that's $12,500 each, buddy). You can go to http://www.wardensquest.com to find the official rules. But, as of th
