Like every other red-blooded American boy growing up in the Nintendo era, I liked me some peripherals. I had the Nintendo Zapper and its pimped-out cousin, the Super Scope. I wore out my Power Pad with hours and hours of World Class Track Meet. I even had Mario Paint. As I grew older, however, something [...]

End of the Week Wrap-Up: Battlefield 3 Moments Edition
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Console News, Gaming News, PC, Xbox 360 On: 26 Oct

SWTOR Unveils Their New Free to Play System
Posted By: Dave Bast In: Gaming News, PC On: 18 Oct
When I first heard that Bioware was changing SWTOR from a very traditional subscription model to a free-to-play one, I have to admit that I was pretty skeptical. While I’m all for the free-to-play model (who doesn’t like to play a game before spending any money on it?) I was concerned at the motivation behind [...]

A few turns later those [...]
