Dragon Age: Origins

I have this on again, off again relationship with any game that features the Role Playing Game genre.
While I do like the stories, it’s quite often that I’ll get about 14 hours in before I find that I’m no longer engaged, and the gameplay isn’t enough for me to continue.

The Stupidly Fantastic Idea Open Letter to Electronic Arts

Dear EA (and other developers),
I was having dinner with a friend of mine and we were discussing how much fun we have playing Rock Band (Lots of fun!) with the Rock Band Stage Kit (Lots more fun!).
