Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics to do a game right. In today’s modern age of video games, we see all the bells and whistles. And sometimes, we want ’em. But other times, all that fancy stuff gets in the way of an otherwise good game. Have you ever wanted to play a game so bad but then you try it and all the shiny stuff they wanted to cram in there took away from the actual gameplay and story? Or maybe you couldn’t even play it on your system because they wanted to go crazy with graphics and other elements? There is something to be said about keeping it simple. Sometimes the most basic game can be the best game. That’s what people are saying about Star Wars Commando right now. Originally released in February of 2005, the first-person shooter came with some setbacks for…

Star Wars Fan Film “Shrouded Destiny”
Here’s the start of a very interesting fan film. Shahbaz Sarwar was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark and has been working on a film draft for 2 1/2 years. This is a test shot of that script in action. I really don’t want to ruin it by telling you much more about the film/story itself. You just need to watch it. It’s just over 6 minutes, so it’s not going to take up a lot of your time, but I think you’ll be glad you watched. It had me both rolling with laughter and screaming at my screen. It’s good. Very good. I’m going to let you see for yourself, but allow me to tell you a bit about the creator and the project itself. This is what Sarwar has to say about it: Like many people, “The Force Awakens” really got a lot of people back into Star…
Is a Mouse Bungee Worth it for Gaming?
Gamers understand that having the right gaming set up is essential for ensuring comfortable playing for hours at a time. Being able to sit at your computer and move around with ease is critical for avoiding wrist injuries and the frustration of when the cord seems to snag on things it should not snag on. Making sure that you have a mouse bungee is a cheap, easy way to making sure that your gaming set up is perfectly able to keep you feeling comfortable throughout game play. What are Some Problems Gamers without Mouse Bungees Experience? The biggest problem that gamers who lack mouse bungees come across is the snagging of the cord. Despite your best efforts, gravity works to keep the mouse cord falling behind the desk or going to its lowest point. This is where snags are caused, and they are especially frustrating to gamers because the snag…
The Gambling World in Star Wars
Throughout the Star Wars franchise, gambling has played a big part in the lives of our favourite characters. In one of the most recent movies, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a whole new city based purely around gambling was introduced to the scene, called Canto Bight. This city is only for the wealthiest in the universe and is filled with racetracks and casinos. Here we take a look at gambling in the Star Wars franchise, including some of the most famous scenes and casinos in which gambling took place. The Casinos in Star Wars With Star Wars being a very family-friendly franchise, the casinos are not seen for very long throughout the movies, but they are often visited and mentioned in many of the spin-off pieces and this proves just how much gambling is a part of the universe in Star Wars. There are a few casinos that we see…
Gambling: An Examination Into Gaming Addiction
Gambling is everywhere. Lottery tickets, casinos, poker tournaments, online gaming, and sports betting. As a society we are inundated with opportunity to take a chance, spin the wheel, roll the dice, and perhaps win big; or just as likely, lose big. In fact, recent surveys have shown that in the United States alone, 80% of adults 21 and older have engaged in some type of gambling activity. With the growth of the gaming industry, the advent on online casinos (for example German online casinos – https://automatenherz.com/online-casino/ ♠️|♥️|♣️|♦️ ), and other online gaming sites, more and more people are introduced to gambling at a younger age. With the popularity of Celebrity Poker, Poker Stars tours and televised tournaments appearing on mainstream TV, gaming seems to be everywhere, and everyone seems to be doing it. Gambling is part of American culture. For most, it is simply an enjoyable pastime. Based on a…

Star Wars Galaxies and City of Heroes Could Return if New Copyright Law Passes
I have so many fond memories of Star Wars Galaxies and City of Heroes. I know many of you who read our site played SWG as well. I’m not sure if any of you played City of Heroes/ City of Villains but I was also a big fan of those. We have long lamented the fact that SWG is gone forever, but new changes to copyright law could mean its return, along with other abandoned online games. The U.S. Copyright Office is considering a rule change that would loosen the restrictions governing emulations and reproductions of abandoned online games. We already know we have SWGEmu, but also that the creators of it have had to fight along the way, and worry that they might be shut down. This new copyright law would change that. Since the law was meant to protect the theft of intellectual property, the argument is made that once…

Here is the road map for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Contrary to BioWare, Capital Games seems to have big plans for their Star Wars game this comming year. Check it out: After an exciting end of the year with the release of Grand Arena, C3PO, and Han’s Millennium Falcon, the Capital Games offices are bustling again with plans for the upcoming quarters. We’ve spent much of the past few months focusing on the roadmap, including a bold and somewhat audacious five-year vision, but as always, I’m here to talk a little bit about the next couple of months.When we sit down to plan the next year’s roadmap, one of the key things that we focus on is learnings from the previous one. Since so much of the core of the game is collecting and strategizing with the iconic characters and ships from the Star Wars universe, we are constantly…

Should EA Lose their Star Wars License?
Here’s a question that’s been going around for a while now, since the future of Star Wars games is looking pretty bleak and EA seems to have canceled yet another one. Many fans are saying “enough is enough” and they want Disney to fix this issue they very clearly had a part in by allowing other companies to make Star Wars games. Is it fair to say that EA should lose their license, based on how they have performed? Well, someone very close to the Star Wars universe seems to think so. Gary Whitta, the co-writer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has said what a lot fans have been thinking. For Electronic Arts (EA) to have the “one of a kind” Star Wars licensing deal taken away, due to their mishandling of the franchise. Whitta details his thought process and frustrations during a video interview with Kinda Funny Games, referring to…

Troubling Times for EA Star Wars Games
We’ve written quite a bit here about the rise and fall of so many Star Wars games. In recent years, this has always included talk of Electronic Arts. That’s because EA are the only ones who can make Star Wars games, at least for now. On May 6, 2013, Disney and Electronic Arts announced that the two companies had signed a ten-year deal to make Star Wars games. This would be a deal that many would later question, as it doesn’t seem to be working out for either party as well as they had hoped. It’s certainly not working out for the fans the way that we had hoped. Kotaku recently published a piece that talks about this exact problem – EA’s Troubled Decade of Star Wars Games. Here’s part of what they had to say: ““Back in 2013, Star Wars was in a rough place. The most recent movie had been 2005’s Revenge of…
EA Cancels Open-World Star Wars Game
And another one bites the dust! Sad news in the land of Star Wars games as another one has been officially cancelled. This is so frustrating, from someone who love Star Wars games and loves bringing you news and updates about new games. It seems every time we start to get excited about a potential game in the works, we get the inevitable news that it will be cancelled. It’s practically a pattern at this point! The latest victim of this trend is Electronic Arts’ open-world Star Wars games that was in process. The project was code-named Orca, according to info released by people close to EA’s Vancouver projects. It was very early in development but would involve playing as a scoundrel or bounty hunter who could explore various open-world planets and work with different factions across the Star Wars universe. Little more was known about it since it was not publicly…

Star Wars: Highly Engaging Warcraft Online Games
Throughout the last third century no new fiction has committed the popular imagination and become a completely vital component of mass culture as “Star Wars.” There can’t be many individuals at any place who wouldn’t recognize a light saber or Darth Vader. In the last decade no computer game has engaged a more extensive global community than World of Warcraft. The first web based game to enjoy planet wide popularity, World of Warcraft had more than 12 million paid subscribers previous year. However it has lost around two million players over the previous year, and now the first evil empire is at the door. On Tuesday, Electronic Arts will release Star Wars: The Old Republic, a rambling multiplayer online adventure that is the first real rivalry that World of Warcraft has looked for the hearts, psyches, hours and dollars of a large number of players. ““Star Wars” games have been…
