Dragon Age: Origins 2 Gets An Exact Release Date

1UP is reporting that inside copies of the Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening expansion, which hits store shelves next week, there is a printed confirmation of the exact release date for a sequel. That release date is February 1, 2011. That day does indeed fall on a Tuesday, the typical game release day for North America. Why announce it so early? To build up hype? I don’t think the franchise needs hype built up this early, if you ask me. The first game should speak for itself. But hey, if EA and Bioware are confident enough that they’ll have a nice, polished game done in just under a year from now, I’m all for it and I definitely look forward to it.

Coming in April, “Kasumi’s Stolen Memory” will be available for download, which adds a new character to recruit, as well as her personal mission which you have to do before she’ll help you out much.

New Images From Civilization V Look Pretty

GDC is happening this week, in case you didn’t know, and some new images from the upcoming iteration of the Civilization franchise, the next full-featured PC game in the series. In the images – which you can see after the break – you get a much more detailed look at the terrain and some combat situations. I think the differing terrains work much better together and flow into each other nicer than in previous titles, but maybe that’s just me. Judge for yourself and take a look at t he new shots below, straight from the GDC.

More Free Mass Effect 2 Goodies
