NEWS - BioWare has been on a bit of a roll lately, and it continued with last year’s release of Dragon Age: Origins. The game has gone triple platinum, meaning it has shipped over 3 million copies since it was released. This follows Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and Mass Effect as big time titles. Tina loved the PS3 version of the game.

If you haven’t picked this game up yet, now is the time as an expansion pack titled Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening will be available on March 16, 2010, and EA disclosed in their earnings call yesterday that a new Dragon Age title is in the works for a Q4 2011 release on console, PC and handheld.

BioWare is almost guaranteed to keep the blockbuster streak alive with Mass Effect 2 currently garnering big sales and lots of attention.

Wizards and Weight Watchers
