The video game deal of the day over at Amazon today is Dragon Age II for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, PC Download for $39.99 each (that’s 33% off the list price of $59.95)

Note, this deal is only for today, Tuesday, March 22, 2011, til midnight PST while supplies last.

We reported a while back that Dragon Age II is coming. Today we have the first trailer. Now the trailer is very good looking, however, it is not game play, and you know my thoughts on giving judgment on a game’s look before I see game play.

My biggest gripe so far about this game is it’s name. Dragon Age II seems to have nothing to do with Dragon Age: Origins, nothing at all. I guess I can kind of see naming it Dragon Age since the name is recognizable and the game did well, but people who bought the first game could be disappointed if they buy the sequel and expect the same experience, because they aren’t getting it. One main character to choose from, less choice in the type of character you will play, these are fundamental changes to the game, I feel it makes it not really a sequel but a different game set in the same universe. much like Halo Wars is set in the Halo universe but couldn’t be called Halo 4.

You can see the trailer below.

Dragon Age: Origins is a game that I just can’t seem to finish, let alone touch the Downloadable Content. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good award-winning game, it’s just fallen to new more new fresh games.

Well game developer Bioware isn’t waiting for me to finish the first game, or the expansions. The August cover of Game Informer reveals Dragon Age 2!

The game will feature an all new hero and a new region to the Dragon Age Universe. No release date has been announced, since all we have is the cover to the magazine. The article inside is 10 pages so stay tuned for some additional information once we have it.
