Bioware

No, this is not an entrant into a world's worst photoshopped contest, it's a sale on Bioware's RPGs!  Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2 are on sale over at Amazon.com and it's a pretty good sale if I do say so myself. It seems like summer savings is the motto of online retailers this year, with the current steam sale and now Amazon dropping prices like it's hot.  Hit the jump for links and pricing.

Is it just me, or did E3 actually have a decent amount of MMO news?  This week we’ve seen a few updates, in both patching and in news, and as always some awesome videos.  The thing I’m most excited for is Warhammer 40k: Dark Millennium.  For serious, I’ve been waiting for this MMO since high school, I’m not even kidding.  Even still, I’m not sure how I’m going to choose that over The Old Republic.  I’ve been waiting for THAT game since I was a small child.  I’m pretty certain my high school self could beat up my child self, but I wonder who’d be the most determined, especially since in high school I was playing Everquest.  There were no MMORPGs when I was watching Star Wars for the first time, so maybe TOR will win.  It’s not important, onto the n

It’s E3!  E3 is a big time for console games mostly, but occasionally some PC titles get thrown into the mix or are mixed in because they’re scheduled for a multi-platform release.  This usually doesn’t bode well for MMO gamers, because MMOs are seldom the spotlight of any one company’s roster of new titles they’re looking to show off.  This year has been a small exception though.  If you’re at E3 or got to be at E3, chances are you got to play some MMOs that were on the floor, but if you weren’t, there were a few trailers that leaked out during E3.  In fact, this is almost all trailers, hit the jump to see what E3 produced and what little MMO news there is out there in the pre-E3 time.  Hit the jump to see all the trailers in the world.

Bioware and EA announced that every player in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be getting their own Starship to suit their in game character. Following that announcement was a gorgeous cinematic trailer that I wish I could find to share with you. I'll be certain to add it once I do so you can revel in the action packed brilliance of it. Want a release date? Yeah, so do we. Sorry guys. They haven't announced that yet. We'll keep you posted on more SWTOR news as it's released.

*UPDATE: Thanks to Roland Deschain, the trailer can be viewed after the jump.

A demo is supposed to launch today from Bioware for Mass Effect 2.  Along with the demo is the new DLC content "Overlord" which adds five new areas an two new achievements. You can find the demo right on the front page of the Mass Effect 2 website, Xbox of course has a 1.5GB demo download up right now.  Hit the jump to find out more about the demo and some things that we'll see tomorrow.

EA announced today that, like Halo and Dante's Inferno before it, Dragon Age: Origins will be getting an anime film. Created in conjunction with FUNimation, the movie is slated for a home video release next year. The most interesting thing to pull from this announcement, however, is the idea that this film will "continue the robust Dragon Age story." Yes. Please.

This week we take a look more at the Star Warsy side of things, as well as dashing hopes, Going Rogue, and some other fun stuff.  A little light on the news this week, but that's to be expected with E3 right around the corner.  I hope what I have is adequate and be ready for what I'm sure will be a little bit more next week.

An eagle-eyed reader was browsing LinkedIn and came across a job posting for Bioware.  Normally this wouldn't spark anyone's interest except people actually looking for a job, but the job title is not something you'd see on a single player only game. "Multiplayer Programmer (Mass Effect Franchise)".

Getting tired of spending money of Mass Effect 2 DLC? Well keep that wallet open, because it's not stopping yet. In fact, the most interesting pieces of DLC are coming in the near future. The one's that will give us the story between Mass Effect 2 and the conclusive Mass Effect 3. Hit the jump for more.

Video game movies seem to be gaining in popularity. Silent Hill 2, Heavy Rain, and now, Bioware's epic Mass Effect will most likely be getting a silver screen version as well. Hit the relay for details.
