GameShard: Dragon Age Origins: Awakening review

GameShard writes: "Awakening is a worthy expansion, and one that offers some genuinely worthwhile additions to Dragon Age Origins, particularly so in terms of expanded mechanics but also with regard to the storyline. But it does feel a little half-hearted at times; discarding the likeable original cast for the new crew of less fleshed-out characters feels like a bad move, and the new environments come across more as remixes of existing content than entirely new ones, despite some interesting sub-plots. Awakening is an enjoyable romp and it's great to return to Dragon Age, but in contrast to classic Bioware expansions like Tales of the Sword Coast, Throne of Bhaal, and Shadows of Unrentide, there just isn't seem to be as much here."

10 Expansions That Are Better Than The Main Game

NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.

Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!

PhillyDillyDee1059d ago

Bethesda usually does great DLC. Makes sense they are on the list 3 times.

Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.

Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.

SullysCigar1059d ago

I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.

Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.

Silly Mammo1059d ago

I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.

anast1059d ago

It's the best DLC in the genre. You are missing out.

SarwarRon1059d ago

I double that. If you've liked Bloodborne, don't miss out The Old Hunters.

I skipped on Demons Souls remake, but Bloodborne would be day one. I love the game, but it is very, very jaggy and really needs a 60fps edition.

anast1059d ago

I didn't like Blood and Wine too much, but the grandmaster gear is worth it.

The 100 Best Open-World Games

We all love open-world games, the sandbox genre alone has a ton of amazing titles. Today, we want to talk about the greatest open-world games ever created; the best of the best! Of course, there is a wide spectrum of what some people would consider a game 'open-world'. We're going to include games that offer an 'over-world' leading to sub-worlds, as long as they offer a variety of things to do within that space (you're opinion may differ). Open-world games come in many different styles, comparing Mario to GTA is damn near impossible, take this order with a grain of salt. Without further ado, the top 100 open-world games of all time!

I know making a list like this is incredibly difficult and time consuming and I commend your effort. I also realize that its opinion and lists are always contentious. The game for me that is a glaringly absent is Dark Souls.

brettnll3664d ago

Oh believe me, I thought about it! I just felt like DS didn't put much emphasis on the 'open' aspect of its world. But an argument could definitely be had!

I love Souls games!

NeoGamer2323664d ago

Dark Souls, Prototype, The Saboteur, Mercenaries 2, Batman Arkham City, Sunset Overdrive, Shadow of Mordor, Mafia II, Sleeping Dogs, one of the Deadrisings, and Red Faction Guerilla should've all made the list.

brettnll3664d ago

Arkham City, SoM, and Sleeping Dogs are on it.
