Here's what I drew with my mouse after playing Dragon Age. I hope you like my video game reviews that are not hand drawn - but written one mouse stroke at a time.

I've never been in a real coma, but I doubt it would be as satisfying as playing Dragon Age. Hours have passed, days flown by, and all I have to show for it is a pile of junk food wrappers and a strong desire to play just ten more minutes, maybe fifteen.

Dragon Age takes an honest approach to fantasy role playing. There's nothing new here, nothing original or fresh, just a mind-numbingly huge adventure filled with all your favorite players. The best thing you can do before starting Dragon Age is to drop your expectations for anything groundbreaking, then just have fun playing a great genre game in its purest form. You'll play a human, elf, or dwarf as either a rogue, a warrior, or a mage giving you a chance to hypothetically play six different games. I'm about 40 hours deep in my first game, and I can't see how I could possibly be done with the regular game and side-quests in under 500 hours. When I finish, I won't need a new race/ability to start with, I'll need a lobotomy.

"My mouse drawn reviews are my gut reaction to whatever game I've just played, and, as a service to the intelligent reader, it will be dispensed with as many pictures and as few words as I can manage."

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that.

But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy.

What sort of gamer are you?
