EA release Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer
This weekend saw the release of a new trailer for Bioware’s Star Wars MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, due out in March.
Although it seems to focus more on plot than gameplay, there’s still plenty to be excited about. Yes, there are lightsabres, but pay attention and you’ll also catch the voice of someone who sounds remarkably like boggly-eyed fan favourite Admiral “It’s a trap!” Ackbar.
If your enthusiasm for Star Wars has been sapped by the unholy apparation known in polite company as Jar Jar Binks, then at least take comfort in the fact that The Old Republic looks set to hold up Bioware’s excellent production values.
It’s probably a good time to point out that Mass Effect 3 isn’t due out until the end of the year, so it’s reassuring to know that there’s another sci-fi role-playing game on the horizon that should hopefully mean you don’t have to leave the house until October.

My favourite games have plots, and love exploring the ways games tell stories. I've been "exploring" this on God is a Geek since January 2011, taking the odd break to play Super Smash TV, drink fine ale and rock out.
I compare video games to romance novels, vent fury at celebrity voiceovers and nurse a severe Tomb Raider complex over at my blog, Well-Rendered.
