Divinity II: Ego Draconis is one of the few games these days which keeps you guessing. There's an early plot twist, which anyone who's read the back of the box will foresee. Then Mr Gandalf-wannabe appears and, like that annoying guy who's seen the film already, tells you your destiny. After that, some may consider the progression linear, but the line is often colourful, and it probably doesn't end-up where you expect it to.

New games are expensive. While you can buy a new DVD (or blu-ray) for about a tenner, a new game however will usually set you back about forty quid, not cheap. Then again, how do we measure worth? Some games are drastically short, then there's Dragon Age, a behemoth from the masters of RPGs at Bioware. It clocks in at fifty hours gameplay time on the first play through alone, and if you like this style of game your going to have more than one go at it. Make no mistake, this game is huge and deep, yet also intricately crafted and immensely involving, it's quite simply the best RPG to hit the shelves since Mass Effect.
