It’s ridiculously exciting and it’s getting closer and closer every day. Bioware have put together a new Multiplayer Gameplay video of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here is that very video.

Compliments to Bibihest for the video submission.

After the hype of Skate 3 and all of its new features, I naturally ordered a copy as soon as it came out and made plans for a good old gaming session with my friends.

I booted Skate 3 up on the PS3 and enjoyed the cinematic movie. Fantastic and as funny as usual.

The layout of the interface was a little different so I struggled to find the multiplayer options for party play and decided to start a career instead, leaving the party play for when my friends came.

That evening, I was running on caffeine; totally excited about the evening, I decided I’d get the party play mode for Skate 3 prepared.

“Where is it, where is it. Must be here somewhere!”. I read through the instructions… Nothing?

I Googled it.

I cried.

Skate 3 has no party play mode. Why the hell would they have taken one of the greatest elements of Skate 3, out of Skate 3. It makes little to no sense. I demand an explanation from EA themselves for this stupid decision.

We want Skate 3 offline party play mode and we want it now!

Comments etc…

After viewing the E3 2010 – 3 part demo of Star Wars: The Old Republic, I am entirely excited.

First thing to point out is that up until now, World of Warcraft seemed to be the only MMO worth playing. Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Aion Online, Age of Conan, WAR, LOTRO and EVE but they didn’t have the same, dare I say it, WOW factor. So I think I speak for most MMO fans when I say that Star Wars TOR is next on the wish list.

It seems like Bioware has been developing it for ages and I am hoping that it is obvious in the final product. After all, KOTOR was an undeniably great game and the storyline was as gripping as some of the best Star Wars tales out there.

So here’s to a promising new era of great MMO games.
