Dragon Age 2 demo out today

Barring any server-side meltdowns, or a robot uprising, the Dragon Age 2 demo should be available to download today. The Xbox 360 version is already up for grabs, and the PC and PS3 version hit sometime later.

In case you missed the first Dragon Age, I'll boil it down for you: applying the law of physics, and partial differential equations, the player had to figure out the age of over 30-unique dragons; of course, there were variations on those dragons, bringing the actual number closer to 75. In order to figure out one of the secret dragon's age, the player had to slice him in-half and count the rings, just like a tree.

Just kidding. It was just a plain old role-playing game.

Download the demo and decide if dragon-slaying is your thing.

Let's hope the game runs better than it's predecessor.

You know, I've been avoiding the first one because I heard it's not too optimized for consoles -- a lesser experience if you will. I'll give this a shot, I think, and if it's half interesting, I might go back to the original to catch up. Real quick like, because you can do that with Bioware games.

Heh, I never could figure out the age of that 28th dragon. It'll haunt me forever!

It's also good to note that if one million people download the demo (I assume it's across all platforms), Bioware will give away free in-game stuff when the real game comes out! I don't really know the details, but it's a nice incentive.

Whoa, that was news to me. Downloading now. Also, I just realized that the white space under the dragon's wings forms a crowd of people. I think I might be a little slow in figuring that out.
