Like most gamers nowadays I’m being assaulted by tons of fantastic games to play, with Left 4 Dead 2, Modern Warfare 2, Demon’s Souls and Borderlands vying for attention, but the one I keep returning to is Dragon Age: Origins. It’s easily one of the deepest RPGs I’ve played in a long time and such a complete change of pace from those other titles. Most people who bought the game got some extra content with it, codes for DLC that you can input to grab new quests, characters and equipment, and there’s more on the way.
Bioware announced the next bit of Dragon Age DLC, the “Return to Ostagar” pack. If you’ve played the game you probably have an great idea of what it entails, but if you haven’t started it yet- minor spoilers for the very beginning of the game follow.
Return to Ostagar, BioWare’s next thread in the Dragon Age:
Origins tapestry, summons players to a new quest in which
they will return to the fateful battleground in Ostagar where the Grey
Wardens were nearly wiped out. Players will discover King Cailan’s
top-secret political agenda and go behind enemy lines to revisit a place
that many feared had been lost to history.
In the regular game after that huge battle you can’t go back to Ostagar, but that will all change with this pack. Not only can you quest to exact your revenge (moreso than the main game, I assume) but you can find King Cailan’s arms and shiny armor.
Return to Ostagar will hit this holiday season for all platforms in North America and Europe, for the low low price of 5 bucks.

I can't wait for the Boll film!
Don't forget Assassins Creed 2. Fuck, that game kicks ass.
I'm about a third of the way through DA:O… and apart from one moment selling a boy's soul to a topless demon in exchange from military assistance from his ailing father, it's painfully slow going. Elves or Werewolves? Who cares? They're both deserving of slaughter. The NPCs are not interesting, I told the barbarian to get on his bike, it's just not that much fun. It seems like a title that was drastically overhauled at a late stage to implement some features in Mass Effect that worked, but as a fantasy setting Dragon Age is very dull. Elves, Dwarves, Knights. The Fade has flashes of interest… pity the game wasnt based in the Fade. Unless something drastic changes in the next 50 hours of gameplay… 5/10
