Dragon Age: Origins is a larger-than-life tale of violence, lust and betrayal that places gamers in the role of a Grey Warden, an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Gamers explore a stunning world and make complex moral choices that affect the outcome of the game, full character customization, the potential to develop romantic relationships and bone-crushingly visceral combat. Hailed by Seth Schiesel of The New York Times as, “…perhaps the best electronic game made yet,” Dragon Age: Origins has been widely recognized as one of the best games of 2009, earning “RPG of the Year honors” from SpikeTV, Game Informer and IGN, while taking home over 30 “Best of 2009” awards in total.
