REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Dragon Age III Is "Stunningly Beautiful" Thanks To Frostbite 2, According To BioWare

Posted on Tuesday, January 22 @ 06:59:53 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Dragon Age III: Inquisition will boast a major graphical leap thanks to the raw power of the Frostbite 2 engine. BioWare's Neil Thompson spoke with OXM about the game's visuals, claiming that when they finally pull back the curtain on the title, fans of the series won't be disappointed.

"Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 were both done using BioWare's own Eclipse engine, and it was starting to creak a little bit when Dragon Age 2 came out," he explained. "Inquisition is being done on the Frostbite 2 engine and it is an astonishingly powerful engine."

Thompson went on to add:

The Dragon Age artists were always slightly disappointed at how their work was visualised in the final product with Eclipse, but with Frostbite, they've just done some amazing stuff. 

There was a pre-production period where almost on a weekly basis I'd be sitting in the environment reviews and being blown away by what was coming out - it looks stunningly beautiful. So I think when we do start releasing screenshots, people won't be disappointed.

Details on Dragon Age III are incredibly scarce at this point, including what platforms it will be available for. Do you think this will be a next-gen title? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    Since Frostbite 2 started out on current gen consoles I would imagine it would come out on current gen consoles... I guess it all depends on how much of that "raw power", that Frostbite 2 has, they are using... I am still in the boat that if it is made for PC, then that is the version to get... I defiantly wont get it for my 360, I haven't touched it in months... literally...

    So all 5 enviroments that they reuse will look spectacular? I kid. I hope it comes out on current gen consoles because I don't have a powerhouse pc and won't have the money for one or the next gen consoles for quite awhile.

    Point of order, Dragon Age 2 was done on the Lycium Engine, not the Eclipse Engine. Lycium was basically an upgraded version of Eclipse, one that they sadly didn't have the time to fully perfect the engine.

    I think it will be one of the last major titles for the 360 & PS3, and it might also make an appearance on the Wii U. I'll be playing it on the PC.

    I would rather this game being a current gen title. I don't want to jump to a new console just to play Dragon Age.

    Origins was the perch from which Bioware fell in making the mistakes they did with Dragon Age 2 and it was not so lofty a perch. Encounter and system design were inferior to Baldur's Gate I & II (which use a far more robust toolset; Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2E) and the story was a big set of contrivances. From 'not as good as Baldur's Gate, but still worthwhile' they descended to kitchen-midden. I hold no hope for this game. It is very likely that everything wrong with 2 beyond its rush (such as letting Jennifer Hepler write for it, or anything else, seriously her writing is so awful it should be a crime) is going to continue.
