Bioware releases information on Darkspawn Chronicles

After the unexpected release of information by Xbox Live NewsBeat on the unannounced DarkSpawn Chronicles DLC for Dragon Age: Origins, Bioware themselves have established a website with information on the add-on.  And with it they have also released full details on what the DLC will include, and for only 400 msp it is quite an interesting one.

According to the website you will now be in control of the actual Darkspawn during the final battle of Ferelden, and will change history as the human race and their allies are wiped from the face of the map. Here is a list of the features which will be in the DLC;

* A look at an alternate history: what if your character had died in the Joining ceremony, and the Grey Wardens marched under Alistair’s command instead?
* A standalone adventure in which you command genlocks, hurlocks, shrieks, and even the mighty ogres.
* Complete the module and unlock an epic Darkspawn item in DA:O and Awakening.

This DLC will be a stand alone one, and will not affect anything in the gameplay itself outside of put you behind the eyes of the enemy and strike down your old party members. This is a great little piece of DLC and it definitely is interesting. At only 400 MSP ($5) it is a steal considering the price of Bioware’s previous DLC releases for the title. What does everyone think about this? Wonder exactly how they are going to factor in various choices from the game as well as what that special item is.

Dragon Age: Origins’ Darkspawn Chronicles DLC will be available on May 18th for the 360 according to Xbox Live Newsbeat, and is set to be released on the PS3 and PC as well.

2K Games announced today that Sid Meier’s Pirates!™, the classic swashbuckling high seas adventure, will set sail this Spring for Wii. Originally developed by Firaxis Games, the Wii version is being developed by 2K China and allows would-be buccaneers to serve as captain as they raid and plunder the 17th century Caribbean, successfully navigate pirate ship battles, triumphantly dispatch opponents in clanging sword fights and woo fair maidens with the streamlined controls of the Wii Remote™ in a quest to save their family from the evil Marquis de la Montalban. 

“We are big fans of the Wii and think Pirates! is the perfect game to bring to that platform,” said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games, and designer of the Sid Meier’s Pirates! series. “We’re sure Wii fans will enjoy the timeless adventure of being a pirate captain on the high seas as much as all of our other fans have!” 

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is an adventure-driven entertainment experience where swashbucklers can helm one of 27 fully customizable ships as they descend upon unsuspecting ports of call to assemble a motley crew of seafaring bandits. Captains will collect secret treasure maps, undertake daring missions, play havoc with local townspeople and swiftly hand out pirate-style justice to local braggarts before setting sail for breathtaking open sea engagements unlike any other game before on the Wii. 

Overflowing with intense pirate action, Sid Meier’s Pirates! has a treasure chest of gameplay riches, including the traditional mini-games from the classic original such as Sword Fighting, Ship Combat and Dancing, as well as two Wii-exclusive mini-games – Bombardment and Lock Picking. In addition, the Wii version will offer exclusive character and ship customization options
