New Footage and Info Regarding Star Wars: The Old Republic
By Joe Haygood | December 13, 2008As I watched the Bioware faithful talk about their plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic, I heard a thousand dollar bills scream out and the disapear from my bank account. Yes, for the first time, I think I might of found an MMO that will get me to pay for play. Yeah, I would not mind plunking down $15 a month on this game, especially with the Bioware team backing it up, makers of the best Star Wars game to date.
Note the inclusion of an accompanying character, that will give you moral guidance as your play, unless you are evil, in which case you can manipulate him to do your bidding. Me and my two red bladed lightsabers are ready to raise a Sithpocalypse upon The Old Republic when it is release in 2010.
Knights of the Old Republic MMO is Officially Announced

So after many, many months of speculation, the worst kept secret in the history of gaming is out of the bag officially. As the Thunderbirds would say - “Knights of the Old Republic MMO is Go!”. The first shots of the game were released, along with a plan as to how the game would work, and a new title, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Read-a-long with Nintendo Power #234 (November 2008)
By Joe Fourhman | September 23, 2008
Issue #234 introduces an unexpected subscriber benefit: alternate covers that strip away all that obnoxious article hype text. That makes this GTA: Chinatown Wars issue the first Nintendo Power cover in years to not include a giant plus sign! So grab your new collector-friendly edition and read-a-long!
Issue #234, November 2008
featuring Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Sonic Unleashed, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Avalon Code
GTA: Chinatown Wars. Nintendo Power delivers with an eight page article, including three solid pages devoted to an interview with Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser. There’s plenty of screens showcasing the isometric viewpoint, cel-shaded graphics, minigames, and what looks to be comic book-styled cutscenes. Let’s begin with some phrases we don’t want the media to hear about this upcoming M-rated DS game:
- “…will have the option to sell and trade drugs around Liberty City.”
- “…the objective is to disable the police cars any way you can…”
- “By far the most outrageous and fun of the missions we played, [you must] exterminate the Jamaican gang members around the city.”
This is going to be the worst thing to hit the DS since PictoChat!

Mass Effect Patch and DLC for PC Now Available
By Joe Haygood | July 29, 2008
Today, Bioware has released patch v1.01 for Mass Effect on the PC. The patch fixes several issues with graphical glitches and sound problems that occured on certain machines. To find the patch, look no further than here.
If you are a proud owner of Mass Effect on the PC, you can also register your key at Bioware and get the “Bring Down the Sky” DLC for you computer, for zero Microsoft Points. That’s right boys and girls, the nice folks at Bioware are giving PC players this downloadable content for free. No guarantee this will happen with future DLC, but it is nice to get something for waiting six months for the game to be released on the PC platform. To get your DLC, register here.
Thoughts on the Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG Confirmation
By Joe Haygood | July 23, 2008
So after many, many, many months of speculation and rumor, the cat was finally let out of the bag that Bioware was indeed working on a Knights of the Old Republic MMO. Details had been all over the place about it but the announcment still does not give us anything concrete about the game itself, beyond the fact that the game is coming, and that it will most likely come to the PC and possibly the 360 and PS3.
First off, I love the Knights of the Old Republic games, feeling that they are the best Star Wars stories to come out in many years. Solid gameplay mechanics and lots of jedi just add to the already great story. So how will all of this translate to an MMO, when the story may take more of a backseat to level grinding? No one really knows at this point. So while I had tons of enthusiasm for the project when we recorded our podcast this weekend, I have now started to worry a bit about how one of my favorite franchises could be hurt by an MMO.
Dragon Age: Origins Debut Trailer
By Joe Haygood | July 12, 2008
Information has been little to none on the PC exclusive Dragon Age game, but today, we finally get the public unveiling by Bioware on their new IP. The game looks to be using a modified version of the engine used in Mass Effect. The visuals look solid, and the voice acting is good. I would say that it would have been nice to see a dragon in the video. I mean the game is called Dragon Age. As mentioned in a previous podcast, Bioware went to the colon well, and added a subtitle, Origins. Not sure what the context is behind this one.
Thanks Laurence for the heads up
Dragon Age Release Date Set
By Joe Haygood | June 19, 2008
While Crytek seems to think that the PC cannot support an exclusive title at this point, Bioware disagrees, and now has set a release date for their new IP, Dragon Age.
At the recent William Blair & Company Growth Stock Conference in Chicago, John Riccitello, CEO of Electronic Arts, was mentioning great games that they are releasing in calendar year 2008, when people realized there were two missing products. One of those games was Dragon Age from Bioware. Riccitello, then mentioned that it was coming out in FY2008, but that it would be the fourth quarter, putting the game in a Jan-Mar 2009 release window.
Also, it seems that Bioware must have some sort of control over EA and the platforms they can release their games on, because there has been no pressure by Electronic Arts or CEO John Riccitello to put Dragon Age out on another platform besides the PC. Nice to see a developer still can have leverage, although it does help that everything Bioware works on seems to turn to gold, in regards to sales.
Mass Effect “Bringing Down The Sky” DLC Impressions
By Joe Haygood | March 10, 2008
Well, being that I was at home sick today, I decided that I was going to get the new “Bringing Down the Sky” content for Mass Effect. It is a 400 point 235.4 MB download. It is suppose to clock in at about 90 minutes of extra play, and of course, introduces the Batarians, which up to this point have only been mentioned in the Mass Effect book and in passing throughout the original game. The net worth of this download package will all depend on your love for the series.
Are Mergers Resulting in Publishers That Are Too Fat?
By Matthew Kellar | March 4, 2008
Anyone with an eye on the industry can see that videogame publishers have been merging quite often in recent years. Squaresoft and Enix became bedfellows. Namco and Bandai joined forces. Sega began making kissy faces with Sammy. However, it wasn’t until Activision merged with Blizzard that the real repercussions of this trend required our utmost attention.
