Another Trailer for Dragon Age Origins. This Trailer goes more in depth on the world and lore of Dragon Age Origins. Be sure to take a peek it’s worth the watch!

The gaming industry is finally hitting the Late Night circuit, thanks in part to Jimmy Fallon and his staff.  Tim Schafer got to be a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to talk about Brutal Legend and the things we geeks already know about.  But I think it’s more fun to see a game developer say it on a more viewed format like Late night TV.

Jimmy did mention that he would like game launches to be treated more like film.  I really hope that happens, because just like a film, games take a huge crew to make and getting more promotion on Late night talk shows would really help the game industry.
