All you 360gamercast regulars (which should be all of you…) might recall an article I wrote talking about the up and coming content for Dragon Age: Origins.
 
BioWare (Electronic Arts) have recently announced that the hit RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, content entitled ‘Return to Ostagar’ will be available for download this January.
 
All you bold adventurers will have the opportunity to side with the legendary King Cailan to uncover the mystery of Ferelden’s fallen king at the home of the Grey Wardens final resting place (at least for most of them).

I think it may be the impending arrival of my 30th birthday that has finally pushed me over the edge. Or maybe it was the foul mouthed little bugger on Modern Warfare this afternoon. Either way I’ve had enough.

One of the things I love most about being a gamer is the knowledge that to the uneducated masses the whole concept of video games is something foreign and strange. Yet this concept is something I can share with fellow gamers and it’s one thing that helps to bind us together as a community.

At its core, the game involves a combination of conversation/interaction with characters, and ground-based (i.e., “run-and-gun”) space battle: Players use assault rifles, submachine …

Apparently the first batch of Left 4 Dead 2 DLC is going to feature the survivors from the original game. The players will meet up with them during the new campaign level called ‘The Passing’.
 
I’m quite looking forward to this as I’ve been intrigued by the rumours that the first survivors are in fact carriers of the virus.
Unfortunately we’ll all have to wait until Spring 2010 to find out if that’s true.
