So I have started to see a TON of epic console games come out recently that really have got me stoked, I dropped MMORPG PC games, mostly because I am taking on alot of new programming and other computer stuff, and its just a distraction, so I am starting to get into online console gaming, it started with Mario Kart for the Wii, but now I am starting to look into other awesome MMO PS3 console games:

Dragon Age: Origins

Okay scratch Dragon Age... I saw some gameplay for it, and it looks really slow and boring the trailer rocks though..

Borderlands

We have a PS3 which my dad bought just for Madden 2007 and 2008, but no one ever plays it, so if I have the money I might look for a new game to play.

Thoughts?

I actually own Dragon Age and its not bad. Its a very good RPG lots of decisions to make and it can affect your whole game. Every NPC in the game has a voice and talks to you. The combat might seem slow because you actually control a squad of people. Very Pretty visuals and the story is intense. Also, the quests and such are very circular and the order you complete things is managed by you with some exceptions.

Havent played Borderlands yet, heard its good.

PS3 MMO stuff.... well the only MMO i know thats coming to the console is Final Fantasy 14, dunno when thats due out.

Yeah I am havin second thoughts on Dragon Age, saw some review videos and not just people questing, looks actually pretty fun. I like how you can pause, and have people do certain attacks on certain other units while you control one squadman.

I'll probably rent Borderlands and Dragon Age. Since I am cheap and cant afford 60$ for a game atm lol.
