Activision has released a playable demo of Quantum of Solace, allowing you to try out this game based on the upcoming James Bond movie with the same title. After finishing the demo i can only say one thing : I WANT MORE ! The game (at least the demo) is fast paced, it looks great thanks to the same engine used in Call of Duty 4. The character’s are modeled in the likeness and bare the voices of Daniel Craig as James Bond, Judi Dench as M, Mathieu Amalric as the villain Dominic Greene and Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko as Camille,the new Bond girl. Can’t wait for the game to hit the shelves at the beginning of next month.

Dragon Age is supposed to revive the spirit of the games I mentioned above, with a brand new fantasy universe and a new story. It looks like (from the trailers I’ve seen :P ) the story it’s wrapped around the main character, character that you will create in an elaborate process like in Neverwinter Nights. I always liked to do that in Bioware’s games. I hope this time they will make more visual customization options available for your character. The first chapter is an Prelude actually, something like we have seen in The Witcher. The prelude’s role is to familiarize the player with the controls and your main character’s abilities. The world is ravaged by war, the good guys against a horde of monsters (Seems familiar?). Your character has to complete his origin story….I guess that’s the origin in the title. Doing that you become a Gray Warden and are enlisted by the king himself to help the good guys. The dialogue is similar to Neverwinter Nights, where you can choose between insults, jokes, intimidation or persuasion. The battles are intense and brutal….with more feeling in it than in KotOR. The option to pause the game at any time and give orders is back, I missed it in Mass Efect. The interface has similar elements with a certain MMORPG….I won’t say it’s name. They are varied schools of magic with AoE, DPS or DOT spells. You can even have more mages in your party to create spell combos chains. There will be the classic melee and ranged fighters, but I’m sure we’ll see some interesting classes like combinations of the well known ones, or who knows what surprises Bioware is preparing. The game will be released early next year and it could be the RPG that fans have been waiting for a long time.
