We’ve been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven’t held back, so we’re not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they’re asking for – a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral.” The game will be using a whole new RPG engine that will uses DICE's new Frostbite 2 technology engine as a basis.

Bioware Hint's at Upcoming DLC for Mass Effect?

This weekend at the Montreal Comic Con, Bioware teased fans with an image at the end of their panel the looked like Commander Shepard staring at some red holographic-image.

 The developer has yet to announce what it means but most fans speculate that is has something to do with Omega, the squalid space-station that you visited in Mass Effect 2. The station was involved in the Mass Effect Comic, Ascension that reveals how Aria T'loak lost Omega to Cerberus. This comic was given to free for people who got the N7 collector's edition of the game. And if you played Mass Effect 3 (with a ME2 save file) You remember that Aria is trapped on the Citadel and is planning to retake her beloved Omega. For right now, Bioware is content keeping us in the dark.

I would like to take the time to say that I'm sorry for a lack of posts in the previous months from me. I've had plans to keep up to date and even do a review of Dawnguard but between work and starting School things just fell apart with the blog. But now I'm hoping to at least update once a week for you guys. I also will be doing a review of Darksiders 2 and Minecraft (xbox 360 version) sometime in the near fututre so keep reading!

Pokémon Black and White 2 Breeding System Changes

It seems like the breeding mechanics for Pokémon Black and White 2 have changed from the normal breeding. The new system now allows you to easily give your Pokémon a nature that will normally take you quite some time to get.

• Each Pokémon has a single pre-designated ability
• There’s no way of changing what this is
• Some Pokémon are capable of having one of two pre-designated abilities
• The ability is chosen at random when you encounter the Pokémon in the wild
• During breeding, the baby Pokémon’s ability is now dependent on its mother
• If the mother is a dual-ability type, the baby has an 80% chance of inheriting that ability
• This gives the baby a 20% chance of inheriting the other ability that the mother doesn’t have
• You can now 100% guarantee that your Pokémon will inherit a nature from one of its parents
• To do this, give one of the parents an Everstone to hold
