First Dragon Age review is a GI 9/10
Game Informer’s put the world’s first Dragon Age: Origins review live on its site, giving the BioWare RPG 9/10.
As we’re being told by frothing PC journalists every 10 minutes, it’s good:
In the middle of reviewing Dragon Age, I had a couple vacation days scheduled. During my long out-of-state weekend, the game was constantly popping into my mind – how I could have won a fight differently, or how I might spend my next few talent points. As soon as my flight landed back in Minneapolis, I didn’t even fight the urge; I drove straight into the office and spent an entire Sunday night in front of the computer fighting darkspawn and saving Ferelden. The number of titles that can foster this level of dedication and obsession are few, and Dragon Age: Origins is among the best of them.
It’s out on 360, PC and PS3 in November.

First English version for sure though. Unless you mean first Gameinformer review on the site. Then disregard my post.
I forsee a lot of good reviews for this game. Less than a month to go!!

Games like this are why I couldn’t give give two bits for JRPGs anymore. Great looking game.

They usually release their reviews a month ahead especially if they have highscores. It helps make sales for the game.

Incidentally, I love the user reviews on Game Informer’s site.
“I haven’t played this game but it looks really great – 9/10″

Would you really trust someone who spends his Sunday evenings desperate to go into work? Unless they’re like a porn star, innit.

There are no console reviews at all yet, as far as I’m aware.
