BioWare is a game company that is currently owned by Electronic Arts (EA). It specializes in making role playing games for PC's and consoles.
Bioware is one of the most acclaimed RPG developers in the western world. It was founded in February 1995 by Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip. ALthough Yip left the company in 1997,  Zeschuk  and Muzyka still act as heads of the studio. 
Bioware is famous for such Dungeon and Dragons inspired games as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. The company originally developed games exclusively for the PC platform, but In 2003 the company released Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for the Xbox in collaboration with Lucasarts. This game was the first of several games that Bioware would develop for Microsoft's consoles. It was followed in 2004 by Jade Empire and in 2007 by Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. In 2005 Bioware merged with fellow developer Pandemic Studios. Soon after releasing Mass Effect, Bioware and Pandemic were purchased by publishing giant Electronic Arts. Although Electronic Arts is a multiplatform publisher Bioware has expressed its desire to continue making games exclusively for Xbox and PC. It's upcoming games include a Star Wars MMO set in the Knights of the Old Republic universe, a sequel to Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins, and a Sonic RPG for DS.
