Star Wars: The Old Republic: KotFE May Be the Expansion You’re Looking For

KotFE May Be the Expansion You

It may seem at odds to use the words "epic" and "accessible" in the same sentence, but Bioware and EA's upcoming expansion to Star Wars: The Old Republic seeks to embody both of those terms in equal measure. If the entirety of Knights of the Fallen Empire (KotFE) is matched by the brief playthrough that I was privy to at an offsite preview yesterday, the expansion is going to pack quite a bit of a punch, while still being inviting to newer players.

HTC Vive: Not in Kansas Anymore

In between appointments with indie game developers at PAX Prime this year I was able to slip in and experience the HTC Vive. If this is the first you are hearing of the Vive it is HTC's entry into the virtual reality space in collaboration with Valve (you know, those people behind Steam). I've used the first two versions of the Oculus Rift so I had a general idea of what to expect. However what I experienced was leaps and bounds ahead of what I have experienced in previous years.

Destiny: The Taken King Review - No Longer Taken for Granted

The Taken King Review - No Longer Taken for Granted

My relationship with Destiny is complicated. On one hand, it would only take a subtle prodding to get me to unleash a violent torrent of criticisms and resentment towards a game that was so obviously a shell of its true potential. On the other hand, I had sunk more time into it than I would ever care to admit in front of polite company. And so, Destiny made me a walking hypocrite.
