BioWare’s long-term plans for Mass Effect and Dragon Age
BioWare founder Ray Muzyka has told IGN that downloadable content as well as “stand alone products” and “expansion packs” are in store for both the Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises.
“We like to support our games long-term,” said Muzyka. “Our fans are really important to us, and we try and support them. We have long-term plans for both Dragon Age and Mass Effect.”
“We have a separate team running in parallel as part of the franchise team,” he continued. “You know, people are moving back and forth, but we’ve made a dedicated investment in DLC for Dragon Age and Mass Effect, so we’re going to support them for a long time. Stand alone products, expansion packs, things like that as well.”
Muzyka’s words echo those of Electronic Arts. Speaking at EA’s conference call yesterday, COO John Schappert stated that “something far-reaching” from the Mass Effect franchise is set to hit in fiscal year 2011. What that means precisely, we’re not sure. But along with BioWare’s pledge, the chances of a meaty new adventure in the Mass Effect universe doesn’t look out of the question.

Playing God, a first look at GodFinger
Whether you like your God-sim old testament vengeful or new testament cuddly; it looks as though Wonderland Software’s debut title, GodFinger, has got you covered. Developed by former Lionhead devs, GodFinger looks set to bring the same Black and White brand of divine intervention to the increasingly popular iPhone and iPod Touch. Allowing players to terraform, flood, rain lightning and generally just ruin their unsuspecting followers’ days, all on the go.
The accompanying video outlines a handful of the ways players will be able to mess with their peculiarly devout followers when the game eventually hits the App Store.

Discounted: Brand new Tony Hawk Ride at … Goodwill?
It may seem at this point that we’re kicking an already downed and plenty insulted victim here, but we couldn’t help but note the shockingly low price of a Tony Hawk: Ride bundle — complete with board, unopened — discovered by Gamertell at an Arlington Heights, Il. Goodwill store. Two Wii versions of the game were on sale for just $74.99 (down from $119.99 MSRP) — a Goodwill employee said the game’s presence could be explained by donations from local retailers, listing Kohls, Sears, Borders, and Target as potential donators. Alright, alright, we’ll admit it — the price drop isn’t that steep, but a near $50 difference on a barely four-month-old game sounds pretty decent to us.
Presumably, one of the aforementioned retailers was more interested in the shelf space (and the tax write-off) than waiting for the game’s fairly cool sales to heat up. Either way, if you’re looking to get your … ahem … feet on the game, maybe your local Goodwill could offer a better deal than the other brick-and-mortars, eh?
