Star Wars: Galaxies, Shuts Down, 2011 - The Old Republic takes over

Star Wars: Galaxies, an MMORPG set in the Star Wars universe, has been set to be shut down on December 15, 2011. This is an obvious decision seeing as how there is a newer and far better looking MMO game coming very soon from the awesome game designers at Bioware: Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The Old Republic is an MMO set a few thousand years before the Star Wars movies; it is technically a sequel to the games Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotoR) and KotoR2. These two games were well received, but the second one had quite a few more flaws than the first and it was rushed out the door by its publisher, so the multiple endings that the game was supposed to have were never created.

Anyway, I can't wait until this awesome looking game is released, but it's still sad that Star Wars: Galaxies is going to be shut down because of it; not that I've played it or know anything about it, but it's sad for the people who play it and love it.

Star Wars: The Old Republic, Cost $80,000,000 for EA!

Electronic Arts' company, Bioware, is responsible for making Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic series'. Now, Bioware is working on an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has already cost EA $80 million dollars to make!

Electronic Arts has also said that it will only take 350,000 subscribers to the game to make it profitable - however, with how amazing this game looks, I would expect it to garner far more subscribers than that. I really hope this game does well, someone needs to finally beat WoW!

Fallout: New Vegas, Gets 3 more DLC packs soon

Fallout: New Vegas came out only a few months ago and it already has one DLC pack, Dead Money; the first DLC pack was received well. The game, Fallout: New Vegas, was bashed at first because of the terrible and hilarious bugs that were scattered throughout the game - like people's heads spinning around like they were possessed... this even included the very first NPC the player character wakes up to - making the player feel like it's supposed to happen, but at the same time it makes the game look stupid.

_______________________________________________________________________________

The three new DLC packs that are coming out are called...

• Honest Hearts: The player is trapped at Utah's Zion National Park and must escape a roving tribal war party
• Old World Blues: Some mad scientists are conducting experiments and doing many things to further mutate people in the wasteland; now, the player can fight them or help them
• Lonesome Road: The player will be contacted by the Courier Six and they will ask the player to go into a place called the Divide; this is a place decimated by hurricanes and earthquakes

Driver: San Francisco, Coming August 30th

Driver: San Francisco is coming August 30th, 2011. The older Driver games are what really shaped some of the ways modern driving games have went - open world and awesome. Grand Theft Auto 3 came out a bit later and redid that old formula of Driver - adding in people, guns and basically everything that isn't a car, as well.

While Driver may not be very influential anymore, it still holds a great place in history and in my memory as a great series.

Red Dead Redemption, Trailer

I know that this game came out a long while ago, but I still think that the trailer is awesome!

Star Wars: The Old Republic, Awesome Trailer!

Here is a freaking awesome trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic, an upcoming MMORPG (massively multiplayer online Role Playing Game) from Bioware!

Star Wars: The Old Republic, will get '1,000,000' Subscribers

Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that Bioware's new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will be profitable with only 500,000 subscribers; however, they actually think they will reach about double that number - 1,000,000!

One-million is a lot of people, Evil Arts... I mean EA. I really hope it does well, but still - it is EA, which I don't like (they ruin games...). Anyway, I still hope for the best in Bioware's efforts to make an awesome MMO.
