Dragon Age

Today is the day of Dragon Age: Origins.  The TV spots are pretty neat but onfortunately are following the bad trend of not showing any game play.  Halo has reached the point where its not neccesary, they just run spots to get the fan base fired up and talking and also to make it look interesting enough for non Halo people to ask about it.  But the best show on network TV has finally been discovered and is being utilized properly, Big Bang Theory.  If you haven't seen that show yet, you are a masochist and just hate yourself.  But back to the point, they are very effectively targeting the audience in commercials with video game ads, and for the people that haven't already pre-ordered games may need to see just a few features or game footage to tip them over the edge to go ahead and buy it.  At least there is something to do with the game and not just people talking about odd situations that never happen, nor are they even plausible.
