Star Wars: The Old Republic

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m a bit of a fanboy when it comes to Star Wars, so it should come as no surprise that I’m looking forward to Star Wars: The Old Republic… Having said that, even I never expected something that looks THIS GOOD!!!

Holly hell my friends, but this most certainly has grabbed my attention! Star Wars: The Old Republic is a MMO (Massively-Multiplayer Online) game that explores an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when the war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divide the galaxy. Developed by Bioware and the boys (and girls) at LucasArts, Star Wars: The Old Republic represents a new approach to the Star Wars universe and MMO’s in general. I admit that I’m not sure what the games technical specs are yet, but I’ll buy into the PR hype based simply on the excellence of this intro…

I’ll keep all of you updated as and when info arrives (I’m following Star Wars: The Old Republic on Twitter and have signed up to the SWTOR (yip, that its acronym) community.

Choosing an Online RPG to Play

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

RPG games are very enjoyable, and very rewarding. While they usually take a long time to play, and you do have to put quite a few hours into whatever game you’re playing, they turn out to be very rewarding, that’s the whole point of them. When you’re playing an RPG, you’re in for the long haul and that’s the whole point of the game play. So where do you start?

There are plenty of online games that are free, and plenty that you have to pay for. While you’re usually getting a high-quality experience, it can take quite a dent on your wallet, and many of us don’t usually like to pay for something that you can get for free. When I say free, yes, you can play high-quality RPG games online without paying anything. There are plenty out there, you just have to find them. So why aren’t you playing these games already?

The only hard part, besides playing the game maybe, is finding it, so where do you start looking? Many RPGs, in regards to online gaming, are found through search engines or websites that offer a variety of online games. While most online RPGs are unique to one website, websites that offer many online games may have some as well. But it all depends on what kind of an experience you want to have. If you want to interact with other players while you’re playing the game, you should stick with an RPG that belongs to one website. If you want a short experience, but one that’s still RPG-based, you should stick to websites that offer many online games. In any case, online RPGs aren’t hard to find at all and you’ve probably heard of the more famous ones out there. But why aren’t you playing them? You’re only missing out on the fun, so get going!
