This is a Part 1 of a 3 episodes miniseries by Vulkk, explaining everything there is to know about The Great Galactic War, one of the most significant events in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.

Star Wars: Battlefront hands-on preview – DICE strike back
At E3, fans that were in attendance got to actually play a demo of the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront. Until now, we have only seen snippets of footage from the game but now some lucky fans have actually been able to experience the game themselves. The following is two different reviews of Star Wars: Battlefront from Jason Serafino from Techtimes and the other is from Metro.uk.co. We have recapped their original reviews. Jason Serafino was lucky enough to be able to spend 20 minutes playing Star Wars: Battlefront at E3. Since this is a Battlefield game there is no story line and you are instantly put into the middle of the action. There is a downside to this because you aren’t sure of what you’re doing and he accidently set off his rocket pack which sent him 50 yards into the sky. Once he managed to figure everything out he…

The Clone Wars Mod – Empire At War Forces of Corruption
Here is an interesting game mod by Bryon Anderson and the video is a review by XPGamers. Here are a few words from the creator explaining more of what he did: “Thank You TheXPGamer for taking the time to review my game mod. A few notes for you. The Skirmish you played is the planet type coded for night vision Clones so the trooper models you saw with the red visors were night vision clones and that is also why the 501st did not have their blue marking. Also the Clone Sergeants and Clone Lieutenants have increased site range from normal clones making them important to be kept with regular clones so they will see and shot at enemy units further away. Not sure how I forgot to add that to their descriptions. :p” He says he and his team worked for 4 years on the mod and are still…
