  • Dang,I wanted to hear more about what The Lord of the Rings:War in the North was gonna be like...
  • Looking forward to this for sure. BioWare is such a talented studio.

    Awesome cover guys! Keep up the great work.
  • Wai...what??  YES!!!  I LOVE YOU!!!!

  • being that i found the original Dragon Age to be an enormous disappointment, i can't say that i'm overly excited about the sequel.

  • There already making a Dragon Age II?  Sweet!

  • *** yes! Thank you GI.....I love you! :D *no homo* Loved the first one to death. I wonder if they could add co-op I think it could work.

  • looks like it's a good idea to get up early...

  • i'm all for sequels but i am a bit worried. how good can a sequel be if released only 1 year after the first? i'll just have to trust Bioware and their decision. if anyone can make a great RPG it's Bioware.

  • Great cover! Im more of a Halo Reach fan, but the art is really sweet!

  • I just hope the Left 4 Dead fans dont have a fit again and go boycott this game since it is being made so soon after the first

  • I just picked up the first one about a month ago and it is very good so far. Hopefully this game will not disappoint.

  • Dragon Age Origins 2...Full cover spread, omg I just got an erection!

  • Oh great, more horrendously overrated Bioware crap.

  • The cover art looks sexy. It makes me want to buy the first game and play it.

  • Darn, I was hoping to play as my character from the first game. But it should be very good nonetheless.
    It would be nice if they had more playable races in this installment.
  • F-ing lame. Today is my birthday and this pretty much just ruined it. I wanted the August cover to be the Elder Scrolls V sooooo bad, but instead I learn that Bioware's spitting out another crappy Dragon Age like its a sports franchise or something. It hasn't even been a year yet for Christ's sake. Plus, the first one was an overrated steaming pile of dogshit with some of the worst graphics I've seen on a game this generation. I am beyond mad right now...

    P.S. Hey McNamara, thanks for the misleading and ingenuous tweet all those weeks back. The cover art isn't even that good and I certainly don't fell like crapping my pants right now. I'm just really pissed...  

  • I can't wait to read this (

  • This is about just as good as Elder Scrolls 5 being unveiled, but this will have to do for now.

  • Gotta hand it to EA to kill IP's and push stuff out faster then it should.

  • I was hopeing it was going to be Rockband 3
