In this week’s Digital Savant column (appearing in Monday’s Austin American-Statesman), I take a closer look at the gigantic, Austin-developed “Star Wars: The Old Republic,” a game that we’ve written about before a lot in this space.
In my review/impressions piece, I talk about my relative inexperience as a player of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMOs), but how much I’m enjoying the game anyway. (That’s a picture of my character, Maumouchowchow, a Jedi Consular, up at the top of this blog entry.) It’s been a while since I’ve been hooked on a game like this, and I give full credit to BioWare’s ability to make me care about this virtual world and the characters within it.
Have you been playing the game, too? Let us know what you think of it in the comments.
