Finally, my review of SW:TOR can be found on eurogamer.cz. With friends, we have been closely following the development of this game, since the first rumours in 2006. And yes, my expectations were too high. When iam not interested in a game, i don’t talk about it, don’t criticize it, and don’t play it. But when i care about something, i do keep comparing it to the best and i judge how it meets the expectations.

This gallery is dedicated the screenshots from the beta. One day, i will be remembering these days as the beginning of Star Wars: The Old Republic. This is how the game looks now.

Why is this game, announced more than three years ago, breaking the PC pre-order records (now counting in millions) ? Why many families won’t see their “gamer” too much on this Christmas? What will the success, or failure of this $ 300 million investment mean for the world of online games and the PC platform? What are Electronic Arts, Lucas Arts and George Lucas himself betting on? And most importantly, why are we, gamers, looking forward to it!

The huge project (worth 100-300 millions of US dollars), game with massive amounts of quest content, might bring a new age for the MMORPG genre. Huge expectations within the gaming community remind me of the atmosphere in 2003-2004, when there was similar anticipation of game, which has change the videogame world – World of Warcraft. Will TOR get us another step closer to Matrix?

Man likes to play videogames. Man likes women. Man will pay a girl to play games with him… This is the business idea behind the website playwithme.com. Did the gamer’s boredom and desperation reach a new low? Can any girl with a webcam be a “professional companion” these days? Who came up with this service, and who is the client?
