Great NEWS for fantasy gamers, especially for those having neither PS3 nor Xbox360....

Yes, this game is also designed for Microsoft Windows. This game is developed by BioWare. BioWare has stated that, the game will run very well on Windows 7, which is released just two weeks ago.

CEO of BioWare describes the game as a "Spiritual successor" to the Baldur's Gate series which also includes role playing Dungeons and Dragons PC games, though its not based on Dungeons and Dragons. A new game engine is utilized for Dragon Age by developers, named "Eclipse".

After a long time, a real fantasy game with huge features has released also for Windows OS. Its a role playing game with great characters, exciting battles and incredible storyline. These a a few of the things that make this RPG fantasy game extraordinary.
