If you think of yourself as an RPG fan and haven’t had the chance to check out Dragon Age: Origins or its expansion, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, then today is the perfect opportunity to do so.

Until tomorrow morning at 10 am on Monday the 21st, all of the Dragon Age titles in all available versions are on sale on Steam for a substantial discount. Check out the sale here.

I’m not normally one to hype such promotions from this blog, but I’m not making any money from this and it’s a deal that anyone who wants but does not own these titles should not pass up. I would like to reiterate that the above sale link will likely only be valid until tomorrow morning, so hurry!

In its unsurprisingly quiet fashion, Sega seems to be blowing off all attempts to discover any official updates on the Alpha Protocol release date.

As many of you are aware, many major retailers have changed the release date they list for the highly-anticipated espionage RPG from Obsidian to October, and in some cases even June 2010. Yet Sega still holds fast to their October 6 release date, however that seems very unlikely given that no retailers seem to be expecting the game in early October any longer.

The official site simply states “October 2009″, and while it is the least specific, I can only assume the rest of the PC gaming community joins me in genuinely hoping it remains accurate.

In all honesty, however, wouldn’t you be happier playing the game late (even 8 months late) if it meant Obsidian had the time they needed to polish the game and deliver a product that actually lives up to its hype (which is surprising at all given the lack of a respectable marketing campaign thus far)?

While I eagerly await this title, just as I eagerly await just about everything Obsidian does, I also applaud them for their efforts and hope that Sega gives them the time they need to do what they set out to do, and does not force them to release an unfinished or buggy product just to meet a deadline.
