Mass Effect 2

If you're worried that the "Firewalk" DLC pack with its Hammerhead hover tank for "Mass Effect 2" and the "Return to Ostagar" and "Awakening" packs for "Dragon Age" will end and leave you hanging for years until their core games' sequels come out, take some deep breaths and relax. BioWare loves their downloadable content too much to do that to you, and there will be more DLC to come.

Return to Ostagar

UPDATE: No need to wait until next week, as it looks like the DLC pack is live now! Woo.

Original Story: The "Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening" expansion pack won't be showing up until March 16 at the earliest, but the good word for dedicated players today is that the game's released (and later unreleased) "Return to Ostagar" DLC may be returning for good as soon as next week.

Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening

"Dragon Age: Origins" thus far has produced Kate Mulgrew as a witch, music from Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars and some ill-tasting darkspawn juice. As of March 16, 2010, you can add an expansion pack to that list when "Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening" launches.

We recently sat down with Tomo Miličević and Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars to talk about their collaboration with EA and BioWare for "Dragon Age: Origins." Specifically their song, "This Is War," made its debut within the game. Check out the clip up top.

EA is continuing its long and difficult campaign of convincing people that "Dragon Age: Origins" is not quite as nerdy as it appears. Today's featured attempt? Bringing 30 Seconds To Mars into the mix. The band contributed one of their new singles, "This Is War," for use in the game. The song is the title track from their upcoming album which drops on December 8th.

Jared Leto, the band's front-man, provided this canned, somewhat antiseptic statement:

Dragon Age: Origins

In a place ruled by magic and feudal lords, an ancient evil stirs every few hundred years to cast a Blight across the land. The continued survival of these people is ensured by a small group of heroic individuals, warriors of peace charged with uniting the disparate factions into a single force capable of repelling the forces of the underworld. Is it Dungeons & Dragons? The Lord of the Rings? No. The land is called Ferelden, its peacekeepers are the Grey Wardens and the creator of it all is BioWare. Welcome to "Dragon Age: Origins."

Dragon Age

Kate Mulgrew, best known for her role as Captain Janeway on "Star Trek Voyager," is also a veteran voice actor, providing work on a number of cartoons and video games. Her latest gig places her in the role of Flemeth, a powerful witch in the universe of "Dragon Age: Origins." I spoke with her over the phone a little while ago, and with the game dropping tomorrow I thought now would be a perfect time to share some of her thoughts on the role.

So a box featuring the "Dragon Age: Origins" seal arrived today. Within it was a dram of something or other and a threatening note. So I did what any normal person would do. I drank the vial and went about my day. You can enjoy this experience in video form above.

Funny story, though. The box also had a review copy of the game, but I didn't actually realize this fact until the box was in the trash. Thankfully Libe Goad and Stephen Totilo were quick to inform me of its inclusion before the friendly neighborhood garbage person came 'round and disposed of it. In my defense it was under all the hay, in well-camouflaged wrapping paper, but it did make me feel like a bit of an idiot nonetheless.
