With a tentative release date for Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of the things I felt was incredibly important for all players was to have a firm grasp of the story. For those that have been following TOR Universe since we launched in December of 2008 or for those that have been following since our relaunch a month ago, one of the things you know is that story is the most important aspect for me... more.

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.

For those that have been following TOR Universe for a while know that one of the biggest things I am looking forward to in Star Wars: The Old Republic is the immense story. There is so much information that we have really not had the liberty of witnessing that every time something comes out, I suck it up. For example, when the Timeline video was released on Friday, I immediately had to watch it ab... more.

BioWare has finally released all of the eight available classes in The Old Republic. The classes offer the ability for people to play four distinct types of characters on both sides of the war: Republic and Sith. BioWare went in and created characters based on personalities of people: do I want to play as a tank? Do I want to be behind the scenes? Am I sneaky or am I aggressive? By answering these... more.

It wouldn't be an effective Star Wars game if the Dark side of the force was not strong, formidable, and more importantly, downright evil looking. Whether the Dark side is evil in your opinion or not doesn't matter; they have to look the role that is presented to them and that is one of personal achievement over that of everyone around them. Only through victory, shall my chains be broken. Because... more.

In their developer walk-through, members of the BioWare team went into detail about a few different components of Star Wars: The Old Republic. When bringing it all together, it's easy to see that this walk-through provides a lot of information on classes, planets, combat, dialogue, decisions, and story. At the bottom of this post, you can watch the video and see for yourself how much information t... 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.
