Dragon Age Release Date
From the makers of Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur’s Gate comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal. The survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted general in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice.
Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy set in a unique world. As the spiritual successor of BioWare’s popular Baldur’s Gate series of games, it uses a pause-and-play tactical combat system. Play in over-the-shoulder mode, or the more tactical top-down view. Dragon Age: Origins features a stunning amount of cinematic dialog. Players will be able to acquire unique party members. These party members will have their own motivations for accompanying the player.
Dragon Age: Origins is released for PS Windows, XBox 360 and PS3 on 20th October.

Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks featuring our hero, Link, brings us a new adventure with a new story, puzzles and a new mode of transport – a train. Take care along your route and watch your speed – obstacles and enemies lie in wait to derail you but you have an on-board cannon and whistle to protect you against your foes and scare off animals in your way.
Accompanying Link through the dungeons is a Phantom, a suit of armour that responds to his commands – players can control him with touch screen technology and the brave companion can walk through fire or lava, be used as a platform to carry Link above dangers, or even block Link from harm. Link uses a variety of new items and weapons, including the Whirlwind, which players activate by blowing into the microphone of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system. As with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, players can draw notes on the in-game maps using the stylus on the touch screen.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is released 4th December.
