I want this so badly!

Based on a floor plan that was just released, it looks like EA will be showing off Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 in some capacity if the rumor is true. Great! It's not bad enough that this is the second year in a row that I'll be unable to attend the big show, but there's a lot of big games being teased and new hardware that should make this a huge show.

If you'll excuse me I'm going to go cry in a corner now. At least I'll have G4 coverage to make me feel as if I was there...

The worst job I ever had was being the website manager of a Two Worlds fan site for IGN. It's so hard to fake enthusiasm for a game that you cant stand playing. Surprisingly, there's a Two Worlds II coming out, but perhaps more surprising is the fact that this trailer doesn't make it look that bad. Perhaps the developers learned their lesson from the first game.

Continuing the tradition of the last Fallout game, a special collector's edition has just been announced, and it's pretty packed and really represents the new setting of the game. If you plunk down the extra change, here's what you'll get for your money:

♠ "Lucky 7" poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

♠ A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas!

♠ A recreation of the game's highly coveted "Lucky 38" platinum chip.

♠ A hardcover graphic novel "All Roads", that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. "All Roads" was written by Chris Avellone, the game's creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.

♠ 'The Making of Fallout: New Vegas' DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.

Imagine if your character in Dragon Age: Origins didn't survive the joining ritual and had instead died. Well, if that was to happen, it turns out that Alistair would've been the leader of the new The Grey Wardens. You'll be able to not only explore this alternate history in the upcoming DLC, but you'll actually be playing as the Darkspawn this time around. Yes, that's right, you're going to be the bad guys!

"Darkspawn Chronicles" is out on May 18, and will cost 400 MS Points for 360, 400 BioWare points for PC, and $4.99 on PlayStation 3.

I was quite annoyed in Mass Effect 2 when T'Soni - my love from the original Mass Effect - basically neglected me and turned me down in order to focus on her goal of bringing the Shadow Broker down (the full story is in the comic miniseries). It seems that there are some sound files hidden in the PC version of the game, which suggests an upcoming story could deal with you helping T'Soni bring the Shadow Broker down. There's now a YouTube video up that showcases the sound files. Be warned, however, that there are spoilers if these are indeed real and come out as DLC later on.

We posted a story a while back about how there was supposedly a Persona 5 in the works, because of a job posting/listing. It looks like the rumor is indeed true, as Katsura Hashino revealed that he is indeed gearing up Persona 5.

"I want to add things that are being expected of the series," Hashino added. "I also want to change things that can be changed within those boundaries."

Persona 3 and 4 are two of my favorite RPGs of all-time, so of course I'm psyched about this news today.

Currently, Dark Horse is publishing a Mass Effect bridge comic, which takes place between the first game and the second game. I've been collecting the series and it's actually pretty good. The book - and the Mass Effect franchise as a whole - seems to be doing so well that it's being reported that the franchise will soon get an ongoing series.

Though I think I may enjoy the Persona franchise the most when it comes to the series as a whole, it's hard denying that every game in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise is still an amazing, fun, and dark treat for the JRPG gamers out there. Along comes Strange Journey, which is technically the first spiritual sequel to the original Shin Megami Tensei games that Atlus hasn't done for quite some time. So how does this return to the franchise's roots work given today's technology and expectations? As it turns out, very damn well indeed.

Bioware is pumping out the content for Mass Effect 2 - a trend that looks to continue when they release a new character and personal quest to the mix. So what's so special about this potential new squad member?

"One of the main attractions of the download is Kasumi, a stealthy female fighter who you can meet up with in the Citadel. After getting her attention and talking to her about the task she wants you to do, she'll become a member of your party. So after you're all done, she'll take up residence on your ship. You can walk into her room, examine all the cool paintings she has on the wall, and fix yourself a drink at the bar. Like Zaeed, another added character through downloadable content, you can't actually engage in full conversation with her, she just talks at you as you wander around her room.

With a dark hook, black eyes, and a cloaking ability, Kasumi is an intimidating character. In battle, she can also pull off the Mass Effect equivalent of a rogue backstab, as she cloaks, moves behind a target, then reappears and whacks the foe in the back of its head with your omni-tool. She'll also offer the ability to toss out flashbangs as a loyalty bonus, and during the mission you'll get a fancy new gun."
