Dragon Age: Origins Review

GameInformer has followed up their recent preview with the very first English review of Dragon Age: Origins. The score is a 9/10, which is a "Gold" rating by their standard:
In addition to capturing the joy of battle, Dragon Age also provides an engrossing backdrop for the action. Even more than Mass Effect, the nation of Ferelden feels like a fully realized setting with its own history, conflicts, and power groups. This is one of the main reasons the game is so addicting; completing quests isn't just about grinding experience and amassing loot it actually feels like you have an impact on the world.

The number of titles that can foster this level of dedication and obsession are few, and Dragon Age: Origins is among the best of them.
A promising start.
