DLC Heaven


This week is kind of a good week for gaming, at least that is how I am looking at it so far. As the title states, there are a few downloadable stuff that have caught my eye. The biggest deal for me is the release of "From Dust," which I have been very, very interested in playing since I first saw videos and pictures some months ago. And it is coming out this Wednesday! Finally!

With the promise of being able to manipulate the environment in real time and reshaping the land to your needs really sounds like a lot of fun for me. I am just imagining what kinds of possibilities there are in being able to shift rivers, break down and build up mountains and all that jazz. This could very well lead to hours of play, depending upon the length of the game and if this will get any DLC too.

The other half to this is the first "expansion" to Dragon Age II (Dragon Age II: Legacy), which expands on the game and allows you to venture outside of Kirkwall. I am curious and interested in this, though I am a little unsure if this will be an absolute pick up for me. While I did enjoy the more action based combat of Dragon Age II, I guess the story and ultimately the characters just didn't really catch and hold my interest as the original game had. And considering how disappointing the original Dragon Age DLC were, I am hoping this first DLC will change that completely.

So I suppose this one can be chalked up as a possible purchase, though I think this one will be side lined until I see some reviews and get a general idea of what has changed here and if it is worth the money.
