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!

Mass Effect 3, Delayed until 2012

Mass Effect 3 was supposed to be released around the same time as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the same time as Minecraft. These both are being released on November 11, 2011 - now, Mass Effect 3 is being released around the same time as Mass Effect 2 was released in 2010.

This will give me more time to play games like Skyrim and Uncharted 3, then be able to replay Mass Effect 1-2 and then play Mass Effect 3 to finally end the story! I can't wait until Mass Effect 3 is released, but I want the game to be perfect, so I am glad they delayed it.

Usually, the terrible Electronic Arts (EA games) won't delay anything, because they only want to get their money immediately - however, they sometimes have to make exceptions when they know it'll ruin the games they're publishing. Mass Effect 3 is one of EA's biggest games, made by Bioware and being published by EA.

Mass Effect 3, New Screenshots

Here are a couple of new screenshots that are from the new and awesome game Mass Effect 3; this is a sequel to Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. These games are some of my very favorite games; there are many choices to be made and any choice can affect tons of things in the end and during the journey.

Final fantasy XIII-2 - TRAILER - Interpretation

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is coming later this year and I have seen a trailer for it, which I will post here as well.

My interpretation of this trailer is this (Final Fantasy XIII knowledge required...):

Lightning has died and is now being brought back to life to do some sort of duty - which, according to an interview, is to find and revive those two characters that were sacrificed in the end of FFXIII.

So, it would make sense that those two characters are still alive many years later, as crystals, because they had completed their Focus given by the Fal'Cie.

Now it seems that Lightning will go out and search for them and hopefully revive them.

  

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - TRAILER - PREVIEW

Final Fantasy XIII is getting a sequel! This is simply called Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Thirteen-Two) and it looks pretty cool! I didn't like FFXIII as much as I liked any other Final Fantasy... except Final Fantasy, which was terrible - so I like FFXIII more than the first FF game ever, but that's it...

Nonetheless, this sequel looks to be a pretty cool game and I know I'm going to get it and play it! :D
