While very much into RPGs, my interests also lie in action titles including first and third person as well as a good adventure title that can keep me interested. Currently very much into a number of MMOs and single player RPGs and like many people fluctuating on a low income due to the economy I am a gamer on a budget. Been playing video games since just before the NES hit with the Atari 2600.

10 Thoughts On... Mass Effect 3 Demo Multiplayer (PC)

Welcome to part two of my breakdown over the PC Demo for Mass Effect 3. They've opened the multiplayer flood gates, so let's get some points down on what I like and don't like about the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming Mass Effect 3. 1. Connecting up – It looks like they've gone with the mod »»

10 Thoughts On...Mass Effect 3 Single Player Demo (PC)

Mass Effect 3 is one of those games you know they’d either have to go big with or go home. It’s The Reaper invasion, and if the demo is any indication, the road to beating them is going to be rough, but a helluva lot of fun to play through. I wasn’t one of the people who bought Battlefield 3 »»

Digital Tabletop: Privateer for the Republic

My Smuggler with the Gunslinger advanced class is by far my favorite character to play in Star Wars The Old Republic. I’d created her using an old NPC I’d actually developed for Rifts and the Phase World setting to have as a friendly ship captain for my players to get along with, a ship pilot w »»

Digital Tabletop: Shepard May Be Lost But The War Isn’t Over

Last year, before I could really get back into Mass Effect 2 for a few more playthroughs, before I could help yet another version of Hawke take care of business in Dragon Age II, while we were plotting another weekend raid in Dungeons and Dragons Online, disaster struck. My house was broken into. »»

Digital Tabletop: Give Into Your Anger with The Old Republic

While I’ve got my max of eight characters on my Republic server, two of each base class which will become one for each advanced class, and had been running a Jedi with my wife who has picked up the game and really liked the force users because they have melee and force powers, The Old Republic’s »»

Digital Tabletop: The Old Republic - Flashing Points of Light

While the big emphasis in Star Wars: The Old Republic has been on story, where you can really see it shine with a group is in a series of repeatable quests that are much easier and a lot more fun to do in groups of four, called Flashpoints. While they are action heavy, there are some great dialogue »»

Digital Tabletop: Old Republic Security and Upgrades

So when you plunk down your hard-earned cash for a version of Star Wars The Old Republic, you’re going to have a few options. More than likely, if you’re really lucky, there might be a few Collector’s Editions left. Don’t count on that from EA’s online store though as they've been sold o »»

Digital Tabletop: Preparing for the jump to lightspeed…

So while I’ve gotten involved in an MMO or two, usually it’s after it has already launched. Star Wars The Old Republic is the first I’ve pre-ordered and actually gotten to Beta before it was released. You can read my initial thoughts on the Beta for it here. Now I know there are things you »»

Review: Time of Heroes (iPhone)

Time of Heroes Publisher: smuttlewerk Interactive Developer: smuttlewerk Interactive Genre: Strategy RPG Release Date: 01/19/2012 I have to admit, I pretty much hate gaming on my iPhone. Every game I’ve taken a look at has opted to emulate a controller on the screen instead of letting you »»

Review: Star Wars The Old Republic (PC)

Star Wars: The Old Republic Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: BioWare Genre: MMORPG Release Date: 12/20/2011 Every once in awhile, a game come along that you know you’re going to be devoting a lot of your time to. For me it was Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and Jak and Daxter »»

Digital Tabletop: The Old Republic’s Other Bad Guys

When I last talked about Star Wars The Old Republic, I really only touched on the Sith characters. Like the Republic, there are another two character classes lacking Force Powers and lightsabers, but are equally as deadly and fun to play, the Imperial Agent, which is the closest in play style to th »»

Digital Tabletop: The Old Republic and Rebuilding Taris

Fans of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic have a love and hate relationship with the starting planet. On the one hand, it gives you that criminal underworld taste from the original trilogy, and the other it’s a big block of time running around before you can get to your next world and become »»

Digital Tabletop: Old Republic Space Combat On the Rails

Since I want to get a good in-depth look at Star Wars The Old Republic before I actually render my final verdict and write up a review, I’ve decided to do up a few slices here and there this week as well, the actual release is this week, and expand upon some of the things I both like and dislike a »»

Review: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC)

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Publisher: Bethesda Developer: Bethesda Genre: RPG Release Date: 11/11/2011 Skyrim is far from a perfect game. In fact it’s a very broken and bug-ridden game. Is it a bad game? No, it’s definitely not. In fact I love the game, but I think it has some major issu »»

Digital Tabletop: Concerning PC Gamers

So lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time playing on my PC. I have a nice gaming laptop that can run pretty much anything I throw at it with all the settings cranked and still put out nice enough frame rates that I don’t have to adjust much. I do have a PS3 and a Wii, but the Wii is usually »»

10 Thoughts On...Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC)

So awhile back, shortly after they announced they were forming guilds for Star Wars The Old Republic, I mentioned why I had changed my mind from getting the game outright to not even pre-ordering for lack of any kind of real news, gameplay, etc. That all changed a few weekends ago with a little in »»
