TOG - The Older Gamers

Tried a thread search and nothing came up, so here's a little background on this upcoming title. I am looking forward to this but hold some reservations since its a multi-platform game.

Quote:

From the makers of Mass Effect™, Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™, and Baldur's Gate™ comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal.

From the first, the Grey Wardens sacrificed everything to stem the tide of darkness. They drew the most powerful mages and the finest warriors from all races and forged them into a fighting force that time and time again drove back the Blight. They remain legends, watching with vigilance for the return of their ancient foe, and stand ready to do battle once more when that day arrives.

As a new Warden recruit, you must prove that you are worthy to stand against the darkspawn threat. Your personal motives and unique reactions will shape your role in Ferelden, whether as a heroic guardian, a selfish tyrant, or any of myriad other possibilities.

Anyone looking to dig into BioWare's upcoming Dragon: Age Origins should mark October 20th, 2009 on their calendars. The company has confirmed to IGN that's the release date for its role-playing game across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC platforms in North America
