    Well, ideally he'd review literally everything, but I suppose I can settle for just a few games every now and again. I believe DA II would indeed be a good choice considering the circumstances.

    He's the only one who can. The only other viable option would be Vinny, though he hasn't reviewed a game in years. Resistance 2 I think was his last, if not some Ratchet and Clank game. Jeff, Ryan and Brad I don't think even played much of the original. 
     
    EDIT: I still remember in the Road Show QL and how the ''enchantment' reference just flew over Brad's head..

    Prey to the God-Emperor that it's not Brad; I hate that guy. Dragon Age 2 is awesome and Dave will give it a 5/5. PLAY IT ON HARD, DAVE!

    Yes, I would love him to review Dragon Age 2. I feel like he is the only person who can tell me straight out if this is still a Dragon Age game or an Action RPG with console mechanics.

    Dave's the RPG master of the crew, he's the only one who has the chops to review this game.

    @Verb4tim: I don't think that's entirely true. I think everyone from the giantbomb staff knows enough about games to give a good opinion. I'd rather see Dave (or Vinny) review DA2, because they were very passionate about the first game.

    That was a long time ago before we knew much about the game. PC version is still king. Dave will like it I'm sure of it. Anyways I'm waiting for Adam Sessler's review because he has been playing the game for a few days now. If he gives it a 5.... out of 5 then the game is truely awesome!

    There's more chance of Alex Navarro reviewing it, frankly. Which is a shame, because all of Vinny's reviews, including video reviews, I really enjoyed. I still don't know why he doesn't do any anymore. I've sent this question quite a few times to Jeff on formspring, though he's never replied. I suppose with the larger projects, and higher frequency of them, he's a lot busier than he was during those days.

    Dave or Vinny seem like good choices. Dave reviewed the first game so it feels right. Vinny plays games to completion and with Dragon Age thats  quality that some one needs, and he also played the original one. It's the shame Ryan only played it a little, and Jeff and Brad didn't play it at all. Origins should have been the Biowre game they all played.

    I could go with either Dave or Vinny. Though if Dave does it, I'm confident it's high focus on the PC version and nothing else. I'm really curious what he thinks of the sequel and the changes its' undergone.

    Yes, but I will admit he's probably very busy. His love of DA and dislike of Mass Effect 2 might make him the best person to look at this title, since it seems to have borrowed a few ideas from it's Sci-fi sibling.

    It'd be cool, but whatevs, it seems like you could ask a dozen people about DA2 and probably get a dozen different views.  Would like to hear him on the Bombcast sometime though.

    I really don't think Navarro's going to be the one to review it. If Vinny or Dave don't do it,  chances are there won't actually be a review, and they'll just give impressions of it on the Bombcast. Which would be a shame, since I think this is one of those games where we really need a legitimate opinion on the full game, what with all the backlash over the changes.

    I want Dave to review it. The thing I'm most afraid of is that it's too much like ME2 and Dave is the only one who disliked ME2 and would therefore notice similarities more.

    I think it's pretty safe to say he will be reviewing it.  And I don't think it will be a very positive review.

    At this point I'll be more surprised to see a review. Vinny seems like the most likely candidate or Brad. Alex has only reviewed shorter games for Giantbomb or didn't do one (Castlevania: Lords of Shadow). 
     
    Anytime anyone brings up DA2 to Dave during Happy Hour, he sounds less than enthusiastic about it.

    Although does anyone know if Dave's played the demo and how he feel about the changes to the combat and dialog systems?

    I don't mind, I find all reviews are ass-backwards from my own tastes so it really doesn't bother me who reviews it. I like Ryan's writing style the most so maybe him? But I think Dave is hilarious so it would be cool if he did one too.

    If I remember correctly at the end of the happy hour when Dave was taking calls someone asked him about DA 2. And he said that he's been staying away from it at all because of what people have said about it being dumbed down to make it console friendly or something. And he dosen't want to ruin his experience of DA:O by playing the second one. Whether that means he staying away from the game I don't know.
     
    At least that's what I remember, as far as I know I could have dreamt the whole thing.

    On the recent Happy Hour Dave said he's literally never even seen a trailer.  That sounds like someone who's gonna review the game to me.
     
    He really expresses interest in being impartial and not being swayed by any of the superficial changes people are talking about.  More to the point that Dave is being responsible about his hype and likely will review this game.
     
    I would think Dave needs to do it as he's the only one who can give the PC version the love it needs and see where the console versions can compare.  Vinny is fully capable of doing that but I think Dave's overdue for a review.

    Has Dave followed the game or his reaction is based solely on the "They are making it like Mass Effect 2" comments?
