With five down and thirteen more to go, Bioware's "Timeline" series narrated by Kel Dor Master Gnost-Dural (voiced by Lance Henriksen) is doing a fantastic job of keeping us up to speed on what has bought the galaxy into such a state of disarray and chaos.  Going in reverse chronological order, Bioware has been breaking down the monumental events that led to the eventual forced signing of the Tre... more.

Over the past couple of months, Bioware has been releasing small portions of gameplay footage, giving the rest of the world a good idea of how TOR will play, and what it will look like towards the time of it's release.  As far as gameplay style goes, it looks like the game will behave very similarly to most other MMO's, combining real time combat with background dice rolls.  With the new gamepla... more.

Tatooine, arguably the most iconic and influential planet in the Star Wars universe, has been announced for The Old Republic.  From the early starts of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, to the conflict at Jabba's palace (also check out the sweet Sarlacc screenshot below!), Tatooine has played a major roll in the events of the Star Wars saga.  It seems like it will be reprising it's roll as a dange... more.

The folks over at Bioware have been very busy over the last couple of months providing us with large announcements almost every week.  One of the more recent announcements is that of the planet Alderaan being fully imagined in The Old Republic.  Up until its destruction in Star Wars Episode IV:  A New Hope, Alderaan was a beacon of a peace and beauty in the galaxy.  However it seems that in th... more.

The day has come, fellow SWTOR Fans, with the release of the newest and biggest news ever to come out of BioWare Austin since revealing that there was a Star Wars MMO in place. Although it is not the release date, it is almost as important. BioWare has announced that they are begun the selection process for closed Beta. For those that don't know, a closed beta is where players get to experience th... more.

As I'm sure many of you have heard from their announcements at E3 2009, Bioware plans on making Star Wars:  TOR a fully voiced MMORPG, that is not just involve making sure that every NPC (non playable character) has its own unique voice, but they also intend on giving even each player's character their own voice.  This enormous project was the topic of Developer Blog #10 released last week on S... more.

Last Friday marked the most recent and potentially the coolest video blog released by Bioware.  The primary purpose of the video is to explain just the sheer magnitude of the voice over project that they decided to undertake.  In addition to the viable information, they also showed almost five minutes of non-stop game play footage, including their dialogue system.  In essence it looks almost id... more.

A couple of weeks ago, the official website of Star Wars:  The Old Republic released a review of their presenece at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, 2009 (better known as E3 09).  It's no surprise that with all that they announced (see below) they would recieve a great deal of attention and even awards.  But what is a surprise is just how many awards TOR managed to rank in.  29 is the magic ... more.

Today, June 12, 2009, is a momentous day, at least for me.  Today is the day that Bioware, in all of their glory, let us know officially of the Smuggler as a playable class in their upcoming MMO, The Old Republic. For me, this news is most fantastic, as is the slew of details that emerged with the announcement.  Based on the details announced, it would appear as if the Smuggler will play ... more.

The Electronics Entertainment Expo 2009 is finally here and as it is arguably the most important couple of days of the year for the video game industry, is it too much to pray for an enormous announcement for TOR.  I think not! Now certainly E3 traditionally focuses mainly on console games, but with the official Smuggler announcement coming this week, we know that Bioware is hard at work on TO... more.
