I have had Dragon Age: Origins on my gaming radar for a while, but as so often is the case I have to question when I would actually get to play the darn thing.

It sounds like the PC version is the one to get; better graphics, tons of downloaded content, and a potentially large user community with lots of potential mods. I am considering a new PC/laptop just for this sort of thing (i.e. gaming). I would not get a gaming rig per say, but something that is more powerful than what I am currently using.

Looking at the metacritic scores, the PC (91%) has received the highest ratings followed by the PS3 (89%) and then the 360 (86%). The PS3 scores are interesting because the game (as I understand it) was ported from the PC/360 – and somehow the PS3 version has higher ratings than the 360? Maybe that means that PS3 reviewers have lower standards? Maybe subpar ports (just talking out loud about graphic issues) are expected to be the norm these days?
