REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Free Trial Weekend For Star Wars: The Old Republic

Posted on Friday, April 20 @ 08:00:00 Eastern by Jessica_Vazquez


In step with warnings that subscriptions for Star Wars: The Old Republic would decline (and likely in line with LawnGnome's prediction in the comments), BioWare and LucasArts will be conducting another Weekend Pass Free Trial in an attempt to get more players to try the game.

The Weekend Pass Free Trial has already begun and will run until Monday, April 23rd, 7:00AM GDT. Perhaps they're deliberately trying to tear people away from the Diablo III Open Beta?

No payment or credit card is required for the Free Trial. Any progress for trial characters can be saved, though capped at Level 15, and players will be able to explore the Origin Worlds of each character class and a faction's Capital World. You can join friends in Flashpoints and experience Player-vs-Player Warzones.

Those who purchase the game and active their account before April 22nd will receive the Legacy Tauntaun Ram Pet as a reward.

BioWare should also concentrate on fixing some of the technical issues of the game, improving upon the combat, and providing additional end-game options to boost subscription numbers more permanently.

    1.2 did all that to be honest, the raiding is awesome, the new flashpoint is great, there's an event going on right now, new dailies, rated warzones coming soon. Not to mention an insane amount of fixes and balances.

    I agree but you won't be able to convince most people on this site. It's pretty obvious they really don't TOR and don't really want to.

    I dont MMO Wow I realized long ago, as a BM Hunter Im just usually alone with my pet soloing small party group quests just to avoid potential aggravation. Im being antisocial in an online social multiplayer game.

    I've enjoyed it so far. The class quests alone are worth playing the game for. Even if you just play to 50 and quit, it's worth playing. If you wanted a KoToR III like me, it's pretty much got that and more.

    Its usually the end game that hurts them, people who level faster and just get bored grinding. Wonder if technology is advanced far enough for some sort of procedural randomly generated and populated instance dungeon yet? Keep certain themes and fight zones but have the layout change every time, could slow down the boredom complaints. MMOs look into this.
