Recently, I finished my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins, which is easily the best game of 2009. And while I’m already well into my second playthrough, I’ve got a lot to say about the game.

I really love PC Gaming. I tend to play the vast majority of my games on the PC, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
