Star Wars: The Old Republic - PC - 12/20
I was a big big fan of Knights of the Old Republic, and 90% of its rushed to market sequel (players who made it to the end understand why), so I've watched with much interest as Bioware prepared to launch it's first MMO. The original Star Wars Galaxies met with much failure, could a reboot do any better?
The answer is yes. Very yes.
Star Wars: TOR has watched the rise and fall of other MMOs and has been able to, let's say, "borrow" ideas from them to build their own. It's hard not to compare it to the best selling MMO of all time, World of Warcraft, but it holds its own quite well. Players looking for a break from WoW will feel right at home here, but in a new alien galaxy to explore.
I don't know if SW: TOR will be able to topple the massive juggernaut that is WoW, but I think it will be able to go toe to toe with the aging franchise. Time will tell, but Bioware, I think you've got a winner on your hands.
