Over at Darth Hater, I’ve got a column up about the reaction to the reveal of the last two classes for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Is the mass hysteria and crazy reaction to Bioware’s decision to include two more Force classes justified? What about the fact that the forums have all sorts of threads [...]

Over at Lagwar I’ve got a brand new column up about old school gamers vs. the new school of thought. There’s a rather dreadfully frightful fight whenever games come out that do or do not pay homage to their gaming ancestry. Battles on forums also erupt over whether retro goodness can compete over new hotness [...]

Over at Lagwar, I’ve got a new column on being first in games, whether that is to defeat a brand new title or kill the latest dungeon boss. Is being first all it’s cracked up to be? Why do people feel the need to speed through content to be the first to be done with [...]

At Lagwar I’ve got my latest weekly column for Gaming Is Serious Business up. This time around, I talk about the best fighting game that any geek participates in online – and I’m not talking about Street Fighter, either.

Over at Darth Hater I have a brand new article up about the issue of SW:TOR’s massive world in light of the new Coruscant Developer Dispatch.
