Star Wars The Old Republic Trailer

5 June, 2009 (07:59) | Gaming | By: Alan

To say this looks awesome would be a huge understatement.

I enjoy MMOs, I love Bioware (although I personally found Mass Effect a bit disappointing), I love Star Wars. I even enjoyed Star Wars Galaxies, despite its reputation. So the signs are pointing to this game being something special.
The only problem is that with [...]

Knights of the Old Republic #35

20 November, 2008 (14:41) | Comics | By: Alan

And here it is. The conclusion of the story arc started in issue one of this monthly, as we get the final confrontation between Zayne, Lucien and Haazen.
Its no secret that I love this series. Its one of my favourite monthlies (only slightly behind the GL titles) and its currently the only one [...]

Knights of the Old Republic #34

30 October, 2008 (23:55) | Comics | By: Alan

Knights of the Old Republic is really firing with full thrusters at the moment.
For those that haven’t followed the series, its about Zayne Carrick, a failing Jedi Padawan, who finds himself on the run with the local wannabe crime lord and various others when the Jedi Masters kill his fellow padawans. Finding himself [...]

Star Wars Clone Wars

26 October, 2008 (12:41) | Television | By: Alan

The first two episodes of the new Clone Wars series have just aired over here on Sky Movies.
I saw the film/pilot over the summer and quite enjoyed it. It wasn’t flawless (Ahsoka
was deeply annoying for much of the film, and really it felt too much like a TV pilot to have had a cinema [...]

Star Wars: The Old Republic

24 October, 2008 (14:20) | Gaming | By: Alan

Well, it was the announcement we’d been waiting for.  Lucasarts are teaming up with Bioware for another crack at the MMO market.   
I’m glad to see Bioware having another go at the Old Republic era.  Since I’d pretty much given up hope on ever seeing Knights of the Old Republic 3 it’ll be great to [...]

The Force Unleashed

22 September, 2008 (19:48) | Gaming | By: Alan

Well, last week saw the release of the hotly-anticipated new Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed.
I promptly picked it up for the Nintendo Wii, and had been looked forward to it. I’d also picked up the novelisation (as it turns out, a good move, since sections of the story have been cut or replaced [...]

Knights of the Old Republic #30

19 June, 2008 (13:18) | Comics | By: Alan

I’ve talked before about my love for the Knights of the Old Republic series from Dark Horse. Granted during Vektor I really struggled with it, but now they’re unencumbered by the crossover event, things have really kicked off, with Zayne moving towards his final confrontation with Lucien.
Issue #30 picks up where we left off. [...]

Comics 29/05/08

2 June, 2008 (22:28) | Comics, Green Lantern | By: Alan

It was a great comics week last week. First up was Final Crisis #1, which I’ve already talked about and I enjoyed.
Next up was Green Lantern 31.   I admit, I wasn’t really looking forward to the retelling of Hal’s origin.   However Johns is doing a reasonable job of interweaving in new elements that play [...]

Star Wars Galaxies

21 April, 2008 (21:16) | Gaming | By: Alan

Star Wars Galaxies has long been a subject of scorn in the MMO world.  It promised a lot from the initial previews, but they never seemed to get the balance right, and subsequently have been continually tweaking the game, sometimes quite drastically to the cause of much controversy in the player base.
I’ve dipped in and [...]

Masters of the Universe

11 April, 2008 (23:35) | Doctor Who, Television, YouTube | By: Alan

I’ve been searching for this for a while.  What do you get, if you cross Doctor Who, Star Wars, Flash Gordon, Star Trek…and Top Gear?
