Ok thank and I'm sorry I would really like to help the news team but I have personal issues distracting me at this moment. If there is anyway to put my application on hold for a while until I get on the right track that would be great.

STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC (GAME REVIEW)

Star Wars: The Old Republic (Game Review)

1/3 articles required: Game Review


Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) MMORPG PC

First off I am no new gamer to MMORPG's I have played several MMO's and I think this helps serve as a great point of comparison. Bioware and Lucasarts took no shortcuts in producing this game. It is estimated they shelled out 150 million dollars, making it the most expensive game produced. It was in development for 4 years. It had over 1 million subscribers within the first 3 days, the most ever. Now that you have the run of the mill facts lets get into the analysis.


This game takes an entire new aspect on Star Wars. It takes place 3,500 years before the Star Wars films. I personally like this because it really becomes your own adventure and story without the influences of the films, so that's definitely a plus for me anyways.

It also, is like most BioWare produced games (Such as Mass Effect) where how you respond to characters along your path will effect your overall outcome and story. Your choices in words good or bad will have repercussions. I like how this puts a spin that seperates it from the usual MMORPGS. This really puts you into the game, to where every choice you make matters. For me this helped prevent the monotony of the early leveling

The biggest plus for me is the combat. In other MMO's it is usual turn by turn combat (You attack, wait, they attack, repeat) In SWTOR you can attack then block or maybe go behind cover and miss their attack.
I love this, no longer do you just button smash. Combat takes some sort of skill.

Now for the downside.

Quests or Missions. While your major missions that are required are great and very entertaining, it is the optional missions that I really really do not like. 80-90% of the optional missions are fetch quests. You go and kill X amounts of animals and gather X amount of items off of them. I hate this. There is little variety in optional missions. I want missions to tell me more about the lore, culture of the species, or the planet itself.


With all of that being stated. Star Wars: The Old Republic is the best MMORPG I have played to date. The new aspect of custom storyline really sold it for me. This game got my interest and has still kept it.
The voiceovers and combat are second to none to all MMO's

Out of ten I'd without hesitation give this game a 9/10.

Even if this game isn't for you, LucasArts and BioWare made some quality trailers. Here is one of them. Courtesy of Youtube. (It's a little lengthy but definitely worth watching all the way through.)

Hope you guys liked it and please by all means tell me whats wrong and how to improve!

THE AVENGERS

The Avengers

2/3 Upcoming Movie News

The Avengers (Release Date: May 4th, 2012)

Here is a basic overview:

Nick Fury and the international agency S.H.I.E.L.D. bring together a
team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki & his various membered army.

This movie has been in the works for several years and shot for about a year. They have spent about $200,000,000 on the overall cost of the movie.


I am really excited for this upcoming movie. The cast looks very promising. Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman). Chris Evans (Capt. America) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow).
not to mention countless other actors.

Ok. Lets dig into this.

This movie brings together all of our favorite super we have gotten to know over the past couple of years. Ironman, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Incredible Hulk, and Hawkeye.
From the Trailers released, The action scene look so so amazing. You can certainly tell it is a high budget film. If the past films of each character are any indication of
the quality of the movie then This will be one epic Movie!

The Director, Joss Whedon, wrote the screenplay for Toy Story and much of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. So the film was certainly in good hands.
With such high quality actors, directors, and writer the film will have no excuse for not succeeding.

The Avengers certainly has all of the components needed to be a great film. Can they all come together and produce something great? I guess we'll see in about a month.

So by all means, go May 4th and see this movie. I have a feeling you will not be disapointed.

Here is a trailer (ignore the release date in the description, that's for england): [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPoHPNeU9fc"]Marvel Avengers Assemble (2012) Watch the Official trailer | HD - YouTube[/ame]

It was in development for 4 years. It had over 1 million subscribers within the first 3 days, the most ever.

I would reword this to say something like.... It was in development for 4 years and reached over 1 million subscribers within the first 3 days.

as for the most ever part.. the most ever what? in the world? for the company? for pc games?

the reason for the rewording is it flows much better rather than having an extremely short sentence.

as for the rest, i would work on putting some of your shorter sentences together to make a more interesting & lengthy sentence. having too many short sentences makes reading seem choppy, which isnt very flattering.



With all of that being stated. Star Wars: The Old Republic is the best MMORPG I have played to date.

The period after 'stated' should be changed to a comma.



I am really excited for this upcoming movie. The cast looks very promising. Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman). Chris Evans (Capt. America) and Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow).
not to mention countless other actors.

That is another example of your short choppy sentences. Also, when listing the actors/actresses you just kinda threw them in a sentence, there wasnt much structure to it.

Also, try working with some different words. I think I read 'like' about 10 times or more in the Star Wars review. Synonyms are your friend! :p


Overall, I like the basis of your writing but you could tweak a few things here & there.
Keep up the good work, though!

Yea, once I read threw it several times. It does sound choppy. Ill work on that in the future. I felt like my Avengers one was weaker. It's hard for me at least to write about a movie that hasn't been released yet haha.

3/3 INTERVIEW

3/3 Interview

SYN Green Arrow: I'd like to thank you for helping me with this. How are you this evening Insomnia?

SYN xInsomniax: I'm doing good. I'm gathering images for a sig i'm thinking about making.

SYN Green Arrow: Sounds like a blast! I'm just gonna ask you a few questions ok?

SYN xInsomniax: Yea sounds good.

SYN Green Arrow: What games do you usually play?

SYN xInsomniax: I usually play MW3 and HALO reach.

SYN Green Arrow: What games are your least favorite?

SYN xInsomniax: My least favorite game is Ghost Recon 2, after playing the game for 1 hour It made me rage like no other. I have not played it since.
The aiming is ridiculous along with crappy graphics and all around horrible game play makes you want to throw it in a fire.

SYN Green Arrow: That is quite the hatred for a game! So throughout your time so far in XG, what ranks have you been and what divisions?

SYN xInsomniax: I have been a recruit up to a captain I am currently a Sargent. I've stayed in SYN mostly but I just recently transferred into XDC

SYN Green Arrow: Haha SYN for the win! So how long have you been in Xiled Gaming? and what drew you into Xiled Gaming?

SYN xInsomniax: I've been in XG for almost a year now. What drew me? I was playing hardcore capture the flag on black ops and SYN serenity and XGC Thanatos invited me to play with them.
A few days later they invited me to join XG. I liked how organized the website looked and how it was more official than any of my past clans.

SYN Green Arrow: I personally like how organized it is too. Do you think Xiled has made you a better person or developed any skills in you?

SYN xInsomniax: I do think XG has made me alot more respectful when gaming. As far as developing skills XG has helped me become a better leader/follower.
It has also helped me develop my graphic skills.

SYN Green Arrow: I love how XG isn't just a simple gaming community, it helps us grow. If you had to pick one person in XG who has influenced you the most, who would it be and why?

SYN xInsomniax: SYN o Crash o was probably the biggest influence on me.
He was probably one of the biggest hard asses ive met in the community.
He always said something if I messed up on the forums or on the xbox and he did it in a way that made you remember lol.
He taught me what it meant to be a leader and hes also the one who got me interested in making sigs.

SYN Green Arrow: That sure is awesome how one person has effected you and help build you as a person. What are some tips you would give to new or lower rank members?

SYN xInsomniax: Its important if your new to get involved with the website.
Look through all the information on leadership and your divisions honor code.
Try and learn as much as you can from the website and apply it to how you game on the xbox.

SYN Green arrow: I'd like to thank you for doing this. Is there anything you'd like to add before I go?

SYN xInsonmiax: Xiled Gaming is more than a community its a family.
The more time you spend with XG the more friends and good times youre going to have.
<3 all the great people in XG, and I cant wait to see where its going to branch out to next.

SYN Green Arrow: Thanks so much, for doing this for me! See you on the forums and Live!

SYN xInsomniax: Anytime see ya later
