So What If Star Wars: The Old Republic is a World of Warcraft Clone?
Let's get this out of our systems right now. For all of its focus on a well-written story, its player ships, and a fortune's worth of excellent voice acting, BioWare's SWTOR still feels very much like that hulking leviathan created by the boys at Blizzard, especially in its earlier expansions. Is that okay? Leif Johnson reports.
Four Features that Could Make Star Wars: The Old Republic Strong with the Force
Leif Johnson highlights SWTOR's biggest features and addresses whether or not story, voice acting, the sci-fi setting, and BioWare's unique use of companions are enough to set SWTOR apart from the MMO crowd.

PlayStation 3 Games are better than PC Games
Judging the title alone, I just know I am going to get a thousand comments saying things like “The PS3 is 5 year old hardware, you cant compare it to the PC.” First off, I am not judging graphics, nore do I care if your PC games has more lighting particles and higher res textures, I still have many valid reasons that PlayStation games surpass the PC.
One of the main things seen in a lot of PlayStation exclusives is the sheer size of the games. The PC offers nothing close to the scale of games like God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, and LittleBigPlanet. The developers of PS3 have managed to create massive games that we simple don’t see on the PC. There is not a single PC game with boss fights as big as the titans in GOW3, 1000 cars, or 2 million levels. This is hugely influenced by the developers, and what they have been able to do with the hardware. The extra space of Blu-Ray adds a lot more room to work with that the PC simply does not have, thanks to the fact no one wants to install a 50gb game.
Sony’s first party is outstanding at what they do, with nearly every first party game being critically acclaimed. They push out amazing games that equal or surpass the PC’s offerings. Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY. Sony’s track record of first party games is also heavily influenced by how they collaborate, sharing technologies and ideas between each over, which is simply not seen between PC developers.
Funding is also a huge factor in creating a games, and Sony’s studios get plenty of it. Not many PC games (Unless developed by Blizzard) have as much polish as games like Gran Turismo 5, or Uncharted. The PC also features a lot of bad games, much more than the consoles because of how easy it is to get a game out on the PC market. Actually, the PS3’s difficulty to develop for makes for overall better games, because developers are forced to learn the hardware before they can even start development. Sony also requires approval before the release, where as on the PC any game can hit the market, no matter how bad it is.
Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC. This genre has proven successful on consoles, and will remain strong for Sony.
Now before all the PC fanboys start posting screen shots bragging about graphics, I need to get this out of the way. PS3 games look plenty good, run in 720p, @30fps constant on 4 year old hardware. I think it does a pretty good job, and the games look plenty good for me to have fun. Overall PS3 games are simply higher quality, and offer more than the PC.

The Problem with Kids and Gaming
I’m going to start this and flat out say it, children under the age of 14 should not be playing Rated M games. Now that I got that off my back, I can start my little rant. I have meet several kids in my gaming experience, and almost every time they were the worst people to play with. Teenagers are better than children with parents that don’t care.
90% of the children on M rated games are foul, disgusting, perverted, vulgar little know-nothing assholes who think they are the greatest person to ever play that game. If you do anything wrong they curse at you with their little high pitched voices and on top of that, when you do win, they’re really, really sore losers.
Now Stick and Stones MAY break my bones.. but, word can never harm me. I am not easily offended. They can be the foulest mouthed things in the world… It’s just words. I could care less… let them sling bigotry and hatred. What does it really do?
It doesn't really do much to me. But still, having some snot-nosed little punk whose testicles haven’t even dropped scream obscenities and racial/homophobic slurs at me isn’t exactly my ideal way to spend an evening. I wear headphones when I game because of this because I dont want my family to hear this while I try to enjoy the game working as a team with my teammates. PC gaming tends to draw an older crowd, and what kids are there are mostly more respectful.
I don't know what it is with M games and kids, but i have a feeling its the parents that let them play rated M games fault they act bad. If the parents let them play games as brutal as gears of war, then they must not do a who lot of other life lessons these kids need to learn also, such as respecting other people.
As the internet gets bigger and parents get stupider, this problem is only going to get worser. Kids take advantage of the ability to be anonymous on the internet, knowing that the worst they can get is yelled at over the mic. If i were there parents, they would be kicked off the game and grounded for months if i heard half the things I hear in online games coming from their little mouths.

Metacritic – What’s it good for?
They’ve been thrown about quite a bit, usually to identify Game A as being superior to Game B, but is there any merit to these claims?
First off, there have been numerous criticisms of how metacritic collects and converts scores. I’m not going to get into that right now, but you can have a look at their system here - http://www.metacritic.com/a... just wanted to point it out to anyone interested.
What I want to point out today is this:
There is no scientific basis upon which you can use metacritic in its present state to scientifically and objectively compare ANY 2 games.
Metacritic scores for different games are usually collected from different websites. Even when they are collected from the same website, they are usually written by different staff members.
So that’s the problem. Can you use scores written by different people to compare games? The answer is yes, but it involves a bit of science and statistics.
Stop. Stop right there. Do not close tab due to anticipated boredom. I’ll keep it simple. I promise.
Here’s one example of how you could do it. There are probably better ways.
1. You identify the critics you want to use. Hopefully, Jim Sterling is not one of them.
2. You give each of these critics the same group of games to score.
3. Then, you rank the scores. Eg if they were given 10 games, rank 1 describes the best in the lot, rank 10 describes the worse.
4. Once you’ve done that, you test for correlation between ranks of reviewers. For example, you can use the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation. This will tell you if there is agreement between reviewers and thus, if their ranks are comparable now and, arguably, in the future.
I say arguably because a reviewer can review in a predictable way for the test and then proceed to launch utter flamebait in the future, but you get the idea.
Whether or not this is the best way or even a valid way is not really the point I’m trying to make. My point is this:
Comparison - true, accurate, unbiased comparison, takes work and effort. Work which is not done by Metacritic.
At the end of the day, the Metascore is a good indicator of game quality - which is what it was designed for.

User blog
[First off I apologize for the lateness] Now lets begin with what I just can't wrap my head around. MvsC3 was suppose to be the all time greatest fighting game of this generation. All the dominoes were stacked in line an it looked like it was going to pull it off. Then it happened. I should have known we were in trouble when they started to reveal characters every other week.
That brings me to my first complaint: The character selection. It was way to low for my liking. Ok I get it, it was watered down because of some potential play alikes i.e. hulk and juggernaut, or look alikes i.e ghost rider and Dormammu. But come on, my favorite team wasn't even available to play. Juggernaut, Gambit, and cable. I mean, we really know why the list is so short but I'll get to that in a min. Also let me touch base on the story, What happened to it. We were promised this elaborate story driven game. Good luck with that. It was all just a mish mesh of everybody's single player experience that didn't even tie into each other. The ending artwork was cool, with its comic book style. It just wasn't what I expected. Maybe more of a Blaze Blue type of story.
Anyways, lets look at the online. Everyone thought that with capcom making it, and there success with Street Fighter 4 and SSF4 we were in for a treat. After playing online for about a month I can say that if feels tacked on, like a last resort almost. No replay theater, you cant watch matches in lobbies, cant save matches, and ranked matchmaking sucks. Although let me shed some light on the situation, when MvsC3 is in action, it really gets going. Combat is fluid, fast, and fun. Air combos are easy to use and yet still complex for the hardcore, plus add in the x factor (ability to increase speed and power, but duration depends on how many characters you have left)and things get really crazy. Its just when MvsC3 is not in action is when it sucks a**.
Now lets get back to the reason the character list is so short. Money. Every company is out to make a pretty penny, whether it be EA and Warner Bros with there online pass, or Capcom and its affiliates shelling out dlc characters for 5 bucks each. We knew it may be coming, but not like this. Some characters should have been dlc from the beginning i.e. viper and m.o.d.o.k. Then some that were dlc should have been in from the beginning i.e. mega man. I mean come on, other than Ryu and Ken who do you think of when you think Capcom? MEGA MAN!!! So is exploiting the consumer who has been waiting so long for a quick buck cool? I talk bad about the scheme but I'm also the one supporting it. Lord knows I want those characters. And its sad. LMAO
