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.

So, it's not often that I am wowed. Okay, that's not exactly true. I've always been wowed when it has come to Star Wars, but other than that, very rarely am I wowed. It's just too damn hard to wow me because I have such high expectations of games. Today, I watched the EA press conference and other than the fact that it was damn amazing to see everyone walk out in Sith and Jedi attire (with armor, ... more.

A recent interview in Edge Magazine with Bioware's director of The Old Republic, James Ohlem, confirms one more class to the ever growing rerepertoire.  The Interview confirmed the much anticipated (at least for me) Smuggler class, and it even confirmed the Smugglers starting planet as Ord Mantell, their recently announced planet.  As Ord Mantell is a world of enormous criminal empires that cont... more.

With this past Friday came yet another addition to the repertoire of Bioware and Darkhorse's "Threat Of Peace" comic series, making it issue # 7 in the Treaty of Coruscant act. First lets get to the meat of the comic: This issue mainly follows the two Sith lords, Lord Baras, and Lord Angral,who were at the scene on the attack on Coruscant early in issues 1, 2, and 3. The issue opens up with ... more.

It appears that the Timeline videos that are being published once every month and a half are actually going backwards rather than forwards. So, the Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant is the most recent event and we are now going back in time. We pick up to the point before the Treaty of Courscant where there is a tremendous blockade on Coruscant. The people are starving and are starting to panic. The... more.

Another release of Threat of Peace brings more information about what's going on during The Old Republic era of Star Wars. Looking at it, you've got to admit that things are really starting to get heated up and are really getting exciting. We'll take a look at each page and what stands out the most from it. First and foremost, when looking at the first page, it's apparent that our friend the Tr... more.

Hey all, This past Friday came a huge bit of information...the Trooper class.  A long awaited, and somewhat expected, class has been officially announced on Bioware's website as well as several new bits of screenshots, concept art, and wallpaper.  As Bioware describes it, the Trooper class is very similar to what one would imagine from your classic "heavy weapons guy" with big guns and heavy ... more.

This last issue of Threat of Peace introduces a character that is clearly a Bounty Hunter, which is appropriate considering that they just announced the Bounty Hunter class a couple of weeks ago.  The Bounty Hunter, named Braden, is on Dantooine tracking the wookiee, Dalborra who works for the Imperial Army. The Bounty Hunter, who is being employed by the Republic, is told to abort his contrac... more.

Last Friday bought us a new issue of Bioware, and Darkhorse comic's "Threat of Peace" and with it, the announcement of a new planet in the Old Republic's universe. Ord Mantell, the Mid-Rim planet with regions of volcanic islands and mountainous plains, is alligned with the Republic officially, however, as stated on the info page for Ord Mantell, "despite the planet's status as a critical R... more.
