Another day, another conference for those that get uber excited about Star Wars: The Old Republic. As we get closer to release date, more information is obviously going to be released. But, what we can expect to see is a move toward more video because that stuff gets spread around a lot easier on YouTube. And it's video that's going to get other vans excited. What we have here is the eternity v... more.

You know how you can tell a game is getting closer and closer to coming out? The websites selling in-game money and power-leveling begin appearing to be ready for the launch of the game and the people who want an easy way to the top. I recently signed up for Google+ and one of the cool features on there is what is called “sparks.” And these sparks allow me to track specific search phrases s... more.

Whenever there are rumors of a release date, I have to take them with a grain of salt. And, obviously, for good reason. Someone could say "release date" and fans are all over it. I know I get that way whenever I hear the inkling of a release date. According to some reports, Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released right around Christmas. That would be its last chance to get it released by 2... more.

One of the things that I love about the community over at BioWare's forum is that the moderators do get involved. And, they do post information. There was a conversation going on about what sort of importance gear was going to play in combat. Could someone run around naked and potentially beat someone? The answer was expected, but it is still very interesting. The reply by Gabe, a moderator at Bio... more.

Despite the rumors going around the blogosphere that TOR won't be released until the Fall--when even the CEO of EA said Spring--we are moving forward with the updates. While this isn't a Friday morning update, despite the fact I am posting it on Friday, I feel a two for one is always exciting. Last night, GameSpot exclusively released another flashpoint on a previously unknown planet, Taral V. ... more.

In what appears to be a lull with BioWare--we haven't been hearing a lot from their side other than the weekly updates--James Ohlen's interview with Star Wars Insider was released a few days ago. It's more of the same information, but even if it's the same thing said in a different way, for some reason, I find it to be interesting. In the excerpt I read on the website, I got a bit more of a tas... more.

In this world, there are three types of people. The first is the type of person that fights for their job, wanting to ensure that they keep it. The other is the type of person who just gives up and walks away. And the third type is the person who whines and complains rather than doing something productive. Today, allow me to talk a bit about that third one. According to a supposed ex-EA/Mythic ... more.

As we continue our coverage of GamesCom 2010, Daniel Erickson interviewed with Gamespot about space combat and the advanced classes. The video will be posted below. In the video, they discuss why they are doing space combat the way they are and also they're discussing whether or not that balance between advanced classes has been reached. And they talked a little about the companions which I'm stil... more.

GamesCom is going on in Germany and that means that we are going to be getting a ton of reveals over the next couple of days. The first one--other than the space combat in TOR video--is the advanced class reveals. BioWare decided that it was time to release the different advanced classes and I have to say, some of them are pretty cool. We already know the Jedi advanced classes, but now we have the... more.

In a great interview with Daniel Erickson, he talked extensively about the story behind Star Wars: The Old Republic. While a lot of the content revealed in the article is stuff that we already know, I wanted to write a piece about it because there were some quotes in it that really stuck out for me. And, it really made me understand why I am so incredibly pumped about TOR. The first thing he ta... more.
