  What game to start BioWare RPG's?

  I never played any game by BioWare. I even have two gaming platforms (PC and the DS) that they developed on. I hear a lot of good-great things on their RPGs.

  They have done work on two IP's I'm a fan of:

  

  And the even made up their own IP's:

  

  I even hear endless great things on what they do with their RPG's. Except for perhaps Sonic Chronicles. From what I hear, that game was "good BioWare RPG, terrible Sonic game". But anyway, if I were to start any BioWare RPG's, which do you guys think I should start out with?

  More manga + AVGN's Castlevania 64 review + Burst Angel

  Okay, I checked out more manga from the library after I finished Inuyasha volume one and Zatch Bell volumes one, two and three. While I couldn't find Inuyasha volume two, instead I checked out Rurouni Kenshin volumes one, two, and three (which are all in a Viz BIG graphic novel), Zatch Bell volumes four and five (continuing my Zatch Bell reads), and I even checked out two regular comics of Star Wars. They are known as Shadows of the Empire (same nameas the N64 game) and Visionaries, which contain comics written by the concept artists behind Revenge of the Sith. So yeah, I have a huge collection of comics to read.

  I also saw AVGN's third part of his Castlevania special and he reviewed Super Castlevania IV on the SNES and Castlevania 64 (although it was just named Castlevania, sharing it with the NES title). It was a great review, until he started his review on Castlevania 64. Here is what's wrong with it:

  ***SPOILER***

  He said there is no way to pass the Castle Center, which is completely wrong. I have done so as both Reinhardt and Carrie. He never stated the right way to drop the two bottles in the cracked walls, which is using an action button to pick up items. His opinion on the game is fine though (even though I found it a good game), but that one vital detail made it a bit lower than I wanted it to be.

  Sorry, AVGN, but you messed up!

  I also watched the first episode of an anime called Burst Angel. It's alright so far, but I can say what's wrong. The youngest girl in the group who looks about twelve who dresses like her older friends. What kid dresses like that? That's one of the flawsin the original Dragon Ball.The action sequences are cool though. I'll try to watch more episodes, the other beginning three episodes are on FUNimation's website. Hopefully it'll grow like Code Geass did.

  See ya!

  Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time upcoming film thoughts

  So you all know what I'm talking about, here's the trailer from YouTube.

  I am a Prince of Persia fan, the first game I've played is the first Sands of Time, then I played the original (which was unlockable in Sands of Time). Haven't played Warrior Within or Two Thrones yet though.

  Now about the film coming up, here are my hypes with some worries:

  Hypes:

  This is done by the Pirates of the Carribean film makers. Which means Uwe Boll isn't involved (Good, he screwed enough videogame series over with his films). Not only that, the first Pirates film was great (haven't seen two and three yet).

  Jordan Mechner (Prince of Persia creator)has involvement in the making of this film. Last night, I also watched IGN's trailer rewind and one of the IGN staff members was interviewing him on what making the movie was like and what he compared to some of the Sands of Time games.

  Worries:

  A videogame based film. We all know how those are. The only ones I enjoyed was Mortal Kombat (the first one). Pokemon the first movie I enjoyed as a kid, although I'm not sure if my opinion would stay intact though (I haven't seen it in a while).The rest were just plain garbage.And I haven't physically seen some of them, so I had the Nostalgia Critic point out why these game films sucked (mainly with how he reviews them).

  Disney is involved. They bought Marvel, they're showing Naruto on their channel. The only things good that come out of them are Pixar films. And I'm still hoping Epic Mickey is that good that comes out of them, including this.

  So for me, it has a 50/50 chance of being good, or being bad.
