I was waiting for the accompanying video to post, but I’m kind of tired of waiting. I’ll add that in a separate post. Anyway, kindly check out my Dragon Age II review at Machinima.com. I’m completely digging the game — even more than the original (I’m nearly done with my third play-through). Here’s a snippet from the review (I love quoting myself):
Some players will hate that Dragon Age II is smaller in scope, has less customization, and features easier combat. None of that bothered me too much and I think the hate is overblown. My biggest complaint was seeing the same environments over and over again. As for the gameplay, I enjoyed a lot of the streamlining and think people complaining about companion armor customization are a bit wacky (buy a doll). On paper, the combat is deep, but making the game more accessible left me without a reason to take advantage of my character’s abilities. Ultimately, I was left with two of the three things I expect from a BioWare game — fantastic story and brilliant characters. And that’s more than enough to leave me confident that Dragon Age II will end up being one of my favorite games of 2011.
If you have time, please leave a comment over at Machinima. If you want to talk more about the game here, I’m totally up for that as well. Please be warned that discussing Dragon Age II in this post will probably lead to spoilers.

Ironically, my own Dragon Age II review went live this morning. I think we more or less have the same opinion of the game.

This was up for a few days, but the narrated video has yet to post. Hopefully it'll go up today.
Yeah, I saw that. Mine was written yesterday but had to wait till this morning for one of the other editors to proof it.
I posted both of your reviews to Facebook.
That's because you are the bomb BB.
Done! Kudos on flexing your literary muscles.
