New Star Wars: The Old Republic Video Shows Us How To Beat A Jedi

 When most people think of Star Wars, the two things that pop into their head are light-sabers, and Jedi. This seems to be a problem that the new BioWare and LucasArts MMO is trying to address the best it can.
In the latest video, put out by the SWtoR creators, they show how the game's combat works and why being a Jedi isn't always the best choice.

Although it seems that SWtoR is trying very hard to difrenciate itself from other MMOs, I'm having a hard time seeing major differences. The combat itself seems like a good idea, but when put into action it looks very plain and dull. It could just be that I'm kind of burned out on MMOs at the moment, or that this game really isn't as great as some hope it will be.

Sam & Max Now On The iPad

"iPad Gaming" isn't a phrase that's ever taken seriously. Sure there's some games for it, but in no way is it classified as a gaming system/platfrom. Although, all of that could change very soon.
TellTale Games has just released a trailer for their first iPad title, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse. The crazy thing about this is that it's not a crappy port that's missing a bunch of content, or a cleverly designed iPad only game. This is the exact Sam & Max game that's launching on the PS3, and PC later this month.

Sam & Max were first seen in comic strips in 1987, they then traveled into the video game world with Sam & Max being developed my LucasArts. In 2004 TellTale Games was founded by a group of former LucasArts  employees who had been working on Sam & Max: Freelance Police, the sequel to Sam & Max: Hit the Road. TellTale Games is now known primarily for their episodic adventure games such as Tales of Monkey Island and their Sam & Max seasons.
