Baldur's Gate, Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3

So it's been a big day in the gaming world with some great news that everybody can dance a jig of glee about. Baldur's Gate Remix First is that Atari, Wizards of the Coast, and Overhaul Games have announced they are in the process of making enhanced editions of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. Now for the young this might not mean much but for those of us that have been playing games for awhile this is epic news. The Baldur's gate games were some of the best RPG gaming ever created. Baldur's Gate was release in 1998, in a dungeons and dragons setting you took the role of a character out to find why and who was after you. Along the way you completed quests, befriended companions that you ended up growing close to, all across dozens of maps. This game was as close to an open world as you were getting back then. I can't wait to see what comes of these enhancement editions of the game. If you want more information you can visit the official site here . Di

Best and Worst Game Endings

So we've all been there, we fight our way threw hours of game play to reach that amazing conclusion. That final boss that all of five minutes before seems like an impenetrable wall now lays bleeding on the floor in front of us, while we the player dances around, flipping off the screen shouting every insulting thing you can think of at that t.v. and then silence. The screen goes black and we wait for that aww inspiring final cinematic.  This is what all that time spent really comes down to, what we are really playing for, what keeps us coming back for more. Sometimes we are left with our jaws on the floor, tears in our eyes and a warm fuzzy feeling washing over use, and other times the that movie ends and the only thing that leaves our mouth is a loud "WHAT THE ...." well you get the idea. Here is a list of my favorite and most hated game endings. The good. Final Fantasy 7,8 Metroid Silent Hill2 Warcraft 3 (Human ending) Xenogear Borderlands (go ninja claptrap)
