This is both cruel and wonderful at the same time. I would liken it to ordering a steak at a five star restaurant, you know it is going to be good and that you will enjoy it immensely once you get it. Now instead of taking your order and leaving so you can enjoy an appetizer and talk with your dinner guests, the waiter occasionally takes you back to see how the steak is going along, showing you every step in its preparation, going over what seasonings they are using, and of course let you smell the delicious odors before sending you back to your appetizer which now looks stale and unappetizing compared to that culinary confection brewing in the back, and now all you want to do is have some steak. Yes it is nice that the thing we know is going to be great is still fantastic, but now all these other shooters and adventure games just seem like boring filler.
On the bright side Dragon Age: Origins releases in two more days so HOOORAAAY!!!!!!
