Episode 5: In A Video Game Far Far Away...

Star Wars geeks of the world rejoice... Star Wars: The Old Republic hits stores TODAY!



Old Republic is an MMORPG (World of Warcraft for you non-gamers) and comes with a free month of online play with purchase of the game. The game is set a few hundred years after Knights of the Old Republic but still a few thousand years before the rise of Darth Vader.

You will have to choose whether to follow the Light Side or Dark Side of the Force which will lead to more character options. The Sith have 2 types of Force users, a Bounty Hunter (i.e. Boba Fett), and an Imperial Agent class to choose from. The Republic also has 2 types of Force users (Jedi), a Trooper, or a smuggler (i.e. Han Solo).



And that about wraps up gaming news in 2011. I'll keep the info coming in 2012 but until then grab your favorite lightsaber and get your game on!
