If there is one thing BioWare does right it’s the story. No other MMORPG has the same depth as Star Wars: The old republic, and the team seams to be determent to keep this up. So with a new game update, comes a new story to explore. Here is a short story on Umbara: Veesh was scaring the rookie again. Nira watched as the Umbaran commando glanced to make sure the train compartment was sealed, then pulled back the edge of his sleeve to reveal a series of ugly welts snaking across his wrist. “Got this escorting a shipment last month. Banshee swooped in out of nowhere, right as we were crossing the canyon.” He smirked, his voice muffled by the visor of his helmet. “Latched onto my wrist long enough for the poison to seep in. The medics say I’m lucky to keep my arm.” Nira noticed the rookie…

Is Star Wars the Only Movie Franchise with a Successful Take on the World of Gaming?

Well, not quite – but it sure feels like it sometimes. Since the 1980s, we have had a long string of video games based on successful movies that have failed miserably in getting even close to their source material. Some of these failed attempts are legendary – think of the thousands of “ET The Extraterrestrial” cartridges buried under garbage in a New Mexico landfill. Sometimes it feels like the only truly successful movie-based games are Canadian online slots like “Jurassic Park”, “Terminator II: Judgement Day”, and their likes that you can try at the All Slots Canada. These, along with some other titles – including “Jurassic World”, recently added to the All Slots game library – are being actively sought out and played even years after release by All Slots players that enjoy not only their theme but also their features. But otherwise, the history of movie-based video games is…

Star Wars: Force Arena is getting an update with  some rather large changes to the overall gameplay of Star Wars: Force Arena. These changes are quite significant, and the mods will be monitoring the changes carefully. Please note that numbers may change, and we will modify this post to reflect any changes that may happen.

Any self-respecting Star Wars fan out there will already be counting down the days on their calendar until we reach 15 December this year, the release date for the second film in the franchise’s third trilogy – Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.
