Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer
This is a rather straight forward but also rather brilliant trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a bit of a mass catch up that shows scenes and landscapes we’re all familiar with, introduces the Sith, the war and then characters will be familiar with. Despite these introductions this The Old Republic trailer doesn’t […]
Pictures of Felicia Day as Dragon Age’s Tallis
Looks like we may well have a Dragon Age video series. Felicia Day – of The Guild fame, Buffy and Dollhouse – is to thank. Day has teamed up with EA/Bioware to head up Dragon Age: Redemption. In the show she’ll play an elf assassin called Tallis, hired by the Qunari to find a rogue […]
The Old Republic: Operation Flashpoint Taral V
This video for Star Wars: The Old Republic looks pretty neat. A crack team of experts go in to rescue a Jedi. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a MMO RPG from BioWare. How old is the Old Republic? It’s set thousands of years before Darth Vader. Initial press releases for The Old Republic said […]
Gaikai launches
Dave Perry‘s Gaikai could be very big. It’s one of the few companies that are looking to bring gaming to the cloud. Why pay for an expensive console, a suped up computer or even why pass for expensive spinny discs when you could use a mundane machine to tap into Gaikai’s fat servers and play […]
Mass Effect 2 cosplay is effective, oh, and cool

It’s so impressive. There’s Tali too. I’m told she was the most popular crew mate to try and sleep […]
Impressive Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer ‘Hope’
I’m awfully impressed with this trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I think Bioware and Lucasarts have managed to create something that will be true to the Star Wars mythos and still be fun to play through as a game. Some of the extra insight we have are just as impressive. Players will have […]
The Spelljammer connection; Why the Mass Effect space hamster is often called Boo
If you’ve played Mass Effect 2 you’ll probably have noticed you can buy a space hamster. This is a long running roleplayer joke. In other words; the best geek natives get it. The Spelljammer space fantasy campaign setting was released in 1989 for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (2nd edition). One of the actual monsters players […]
Wizards and Star Wars part company; a deeper look
One of the big announcements this week was that Wizards of the Coat would no longer be producing the Star Wars Miniatures and RPG. The news, often rumoured, was made official via the Wizards’ forums by moderator and employee WotC_BigGuy. First off, let me slip my marketing hat on and say that using the forums […]
