Star Wars: The Old Republic

Hooray for mediocrity! Few things feel better than having an average performance acknowledged in a live esports environment. There’s no greater thrill than being told that “the thing you’re doing is going okay. Well done for maintaining an acceptable standard in spite of all assumptions to the contrary.” That’s a feeling worth taking a spinfusor [...]

Put your desk in our eyeballs! Win prizes! Your desk pictures have dented our productivity this afternoon. Gaming on a console is just a matter of slumping down on the couch and kicking back. PC gamers’ desks are carefully constructed entertainment zones full of big speakers, multiple monitors, flight sticks, wheels, posters, mousemates, peripheral gadgets [...]

Things move quickly eh? MMOs (almost) get updated, RTS gets expanded, and browsers get RTS classics running within them. Browser gaming seems be in a similar situation to free-to-play a few years ago; it’s unfamiliar, but potentially great. Devs still have issues creating convincing advertisements for High Impact Reconfigurable Simuation Software Frameworks though. That’ll never [...]

Everybody, quick, we need to upgrade to 1.1. The Old Republic’s doing it, Minecraft’s done it, and we don’t want to be left behind. Personally, I’ve attached a pair of Project Fiona style controllers to either side of my head and now I look like this. My head is a new form factor for human [...]

Last night, the PC Gamer Mint Imperials united to celebrate the launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Sadly I missed it, but Rich and Owen were in attendance as the guild massed on the steps to the Sith Academy on Korriban and posing dramatically. Afterwards they retired to a lightsaber lit rave in the [...]

Could Battlefield 2143 be in the works? The hints DICE have left in Back to Karkand are small, but they’ve been known to use similarly cryptic methods before. Of course that means those little toy dinosaurs must be a hint too! We can only assume they’re actually planning to bring us the pictured DLC pack [...]

The Old Republic is available to pre-load. I played as a smuggler, and spent the whole time yelling at people to give me my damn ship back. The smuggler basically sounds like Malcom Reynolds no matter what dialogue option you pick, and that’s awesome. Check inside for some high speed blockade running PC Gaming news. [...]

APB Reloaded is on Steam now, so Rich hopped in to take a look, and by ‘take a look’ I mean ‘spawn a hideous mutant man who causes all who gaze upon him to break down and cry’. Just look at him! The horrible gaze, the mutant face, the green body hair that looks like [...]

Today in the PC Gamer offices Owen came back waving a stick around and going ‘whom, whom, whom’. For a while we were worried he’d taken a blow to the head, but it turned out he’d just been playing the Old Republic beta weekend. Now he keeps holding his hand out towards Rich and making [...]

When that controversial Modern Warfare 3 scene was leaked, I was less offended by the subject matter and more obsessed with counting the number of black cabs and red buses crammed into the brief scene. Now Games Radar have gone one further, meticulously categorising the huge volume of stereotypical British markers present in the picture. [...]
