G-pinions

Remember a few weeks ago when rumors were flying around the internet that Microsoft had purchased Bioware and were ready to reveal this spectacular news come E3? Apparently, like so many internet rumors, that little bit for information was every bit as untrue as Nintendo leaving the console wars or Sega reentering it.

If you'll direct your eyes to this news story, you'll see the Bioware is planning on showing more than just Jade Empire at E3 this year. What other games can we expect? A new game called Dragon Age that may not appear on the Xbox at all if the "PC RPG" designation is any indication.

I could obviously be wrong about this, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Microsoft probably doesn't own Bioware if Bioware isn't even releasing all its games on the Xbox. Shame for those of us (me) who don't own a PC capable of actually playing games, but it did seem a little too good to be true. MS better have something in its bag of goodies or it will be completely overshadowed by Nintendo and Sony at the show. No matter how cool your lineup of games is, nothing can compete with the unveiling of brand new hardware.
