What is it about computer games involving blood that really makes my day? First it was Gabriel Knight, culminating in BLOOD OF THE SACRED, BLOOD OF THE DAMN, when I knew I had found an art form I thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, it was clunky and the puzzles sucked and every thing that could go wrong on a project did. But not only did it have an engrossing story, it showed exactly how immersive a game could be.
Now it’s Dragon Age, where I spent 90 hours on one character and various other times on 4 more. Not counting the 20 hour expansion. That’s about $1 for two hours of entertainment, and not a lot besides MMOs are that cheap.
Take the plunge, give it a try. You can be anything you want to be. Just remember to save the world.

PS – “Licking a lamp post.” Nuf’ said.
