Star Wars Goes Online With Their New Old Republic
The rumors are true; Lucasfilm and BioWare announced yesterday that the two companies are working on an MMORPG called Star Wars: The Old Republic that will not only offer players a chance to step into the Star Wars universe, but will also change the way that MMOs are made forever.

Spore's Creature Creator Lets You Seed the Galaxy with Life
Spore, the upcoming 6+-years-in-the-making project from Will Wright (Sim City, The Sims, and Sim everything else) is releasing its fabulous alien species design tool, the Creator Creator today as a free download. Spore is Sim-Rise-of-Intelligent-Life-In-The-Galaxy, and it is a fountain of scifi awesomeness. I've followed Spore’s development for a long time, and feel licensed to talk about what I’ve seen and speculate irresponsibly about what I haven’t. (I should disclose at this point that periodically I work as a freelance game designer for Electronic Arts, which owns Maxis, which makes Spore.) More » -

Rumored Star Wars Game Has Stretchy Ships
One of the best video games to come out of the Star Wars universe was The Knights of the Old Republic, which is set 4,000 years before the events in A New Hope, and was also the first RPG set inside the Star Wars world. The original game came out in 2003 with a sequel in 2004, and if this rumored concept art turns out to be right, then LucasArts is working on a tre-quel for the series. Above is "Dashaad's Fighter," which looks a bit like a TIE-Fighter that's been through a taffy-pulling machine. Find more Republican goodness in the gallery below. More »
