This galaxy is closer than you think.
It looks as if EA has a pretty firm release date set for Star Wars: The Old Republic. The highly-anticipated MMORPG from BioWare has been in development for quite some time, and rumors of an astronomical budget have created an understandable amount of skepticism regarding release dates.

Memories and some of my favorite games
Today is the 15th anniversary of the Nintendo 64 being released in the United States. It was the first console I got around launch time. My mother got me one from someone she worked with no longer than a month or so after it first came out. The N64 is a darling to Nintendo fans and to those who love games with a whimsical quality and an emphasis on multiplayer. I have a, shall we say, complicated impression of the Nintendo 64, but one that is shaped by great memories of playing great games with my friends.
A lot to love in this week's releases.
It’s been a while since Nintendo has given 3DS owners a good reason to visit the Nintendo eShop, but that looks to change this week with a couple of fantastic releases this week.
This week's news-oriented PB & Jason also covers a little bit of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition.
While the title is based off of Namco Bandai's upcoming October release, Go Vacation, don't be fooled! PB & Jason is more than a summer stay at a resort or a monster. Also covered? Trenched, aka Iron Brigade, R-Type and the virtual console, Pietriots and their wall of diversity, the upcoming Playstation Vita Japanese launch, and the Amazon Kindle Fire!
“OK” just doesn't cut it this time.
No More Heroes looked like an intriguing game when it came out on the Wii, but after playing it I wasn't too impressed. You play as the badass Travis Touchdown and your simple goal is to kill everyone in your way until you are number one. The gameplay was interesting and the story and characters were entertaining, but these just sugarcoated a fundamentally flawed game. Upon hearing about this remake, subtitled Heroes Paradise, I hoped that it would all be smoothed over. Again I walked away disappointed.
