Default Dragon Age 2

The demo is available on Steam and XBL, (and maybe PSN too, I can't remember if this game is coming out for PS3).

Probably not surprised to hear this from me, but it's amazing. The combat system has been completely reworked, and for the better. It has a much more hack and slash feel to it, but you still get a ton of abilities to use and you can still pause the action and tell your party members what to do.

Decision system as been revamped to feel more like ME2, which the "good" thing being on top and the "bad" thing being on the bottom. The middle option is typically something mischievous or sarcastic, but not mean spirited...I've been picking it a lot.

They didn't dumb down the rest of the game like Mass Effect 2 did, though. Although the functionality is locked in the demo, you still have a large inventory. You still have a bunch of skill trees, the UI is just better and easier to use. You pick up loot off of corpses.

It's a great blend of traditional Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights style RPG with combat more fluid, reminiscent of Torchlight. I never felt like I was "rolling dice" when I used an ability.

They've also drastically improved the graphics in the game, especially character models.

Worth checking out.
