Star Wars: The Old Republic

By Emily Hall, Online Arts Editor

Do you like Star Wars, video games, and spending money? If so, you should invest in the new game “Star Wars: The Old Republic.” After six years in the making, the game has finally been released to the public. Using a budget of around $200 million, the game’s creators have made it possible for you to become a virtual Jedi Knight or Sith Warrior in an online world that imitates the scenery of the classic movie saga. The game looks like a cross between Star Wars and World of Warcraft: The characters from Star Wars, and the animation/pay-per-month aspect of WoW. There have been plenty of cool things that have resulted from combining one good thing with another: ligers, puggles, jeggings. Using deductive reasoning, I’d say this game sounds pretty awesome. The game costs $60, and is being sold at Best Buy and Target.
