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

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...

Star Wars: The Old Republic Does Not Require Origin

Posted on Wednesday, August 24 @ 16:35:45 Eastern by


Coming not too long after a public outcry against EA's Origin service, for its invasive, spyware-like policies in its EULA agreement, Senior Online Community Manager Stephen Reid for Star Wars: The Old Republic via the official forums has stated that, unlike Battlefield 3 for PC, it will not require players to download the client:

Regardless of what other games may choose to do in their integration with Origin's desktop client, here's what our situation is:

You are not required to use the Origin desktop client to download, patch or play the game client for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This applies whether you purchase The Old Republic via Origin.com or from a retailer in boxed form. You will not be forced to install the Origin desktop client.

There are still various consumer benefits to the client itself, but it's not required for The Old Republic.

    Interesting. Too bad I have to download it in order to get my freaking early-access.

    Basically this. There'll be something in Old Republic that'll coerce you into installing Origin.
