Video games are a medium filled with lousy stories, absurd scenarios and otherwise ridiculous plot points. That said, there are also some real gems out there. The sort that rise above the stupidity of their bretheren and prove that yes, gaming can be a real, honest-to-goodness medium for storytelling. Sadly, few can do this perfectly. Even in the best games there are those moments where you just have to sit back and wonder what they were thinking.

This week: Dragon Age: Origins

A note to flamers before we begin. I freaking love Dragon Age. One of the biggest obstacles to my giving Demon’s Souls the time it deserved was that I was completely enamored with Dragon Age. Bioware really outdid themselves with this game and even though I’m a bit disappointed in the direction they’re taking the next game, I’m still eagerly looking forward to it.
