It’s a nice change, this wonderful prediction of humanity’s future, distancing itself from the dystopian projections common within a lot of science fiction. The members of the United Federation of Planets live unbound by the confines of being obliged to earn enough money to simply survive. Instead, everyone in their society is given the necessary things required in order to live. Food and water are provided simply by asking a replicator for something — even things like clothes can be replicated in a blink of an eye....

The original series (known as TOS-era Trek) came out during the 1960s, a time of upheaval in the cultural fabric of the United States. Campus kids protested the war in Vietnam, hippies were expanding their minds with all sorts of new drugs, and America was in an uproar over the burgeoning Civil Rights movement. Star Trek was birthed into this world. Like all great sci-fi, it was a reflection of its time, not just simple speculation about the future....

Denuvo is, at least in the public eye, considered a heavy-handed DRM option by gamers. It’s often associated with assorted performance issues on PC, or at the very least decreased framerates. Research from tech outlets has previously confirmed that Denuvo costs frames, but obviously every new game deserves to be evaluated independently. As such, it’s unclear whether Denuvo is costing PC players of Star Wars: Squadrons frames per second, but it’s understandable if PC gamers just assume that it is....

Following a crash landing on their home planet, the player is brought into the fold of a classic space-faring tale, meeting old favorite Star Wars characters like Yoda, C-3PO, and R2-D2. As well as the main story, there are other narratives for the player to explore in Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge Enhanced Edition, through the Azumel bartender, who can transport fans to take on the roles of Jedi and bounty hunters....

The Book of Boba Fett covers both of those bases in a way. On one hand, it’s been drawing some criticism from some of the more rigid fans who aren’t particularly satisfied with the titular character’s apparent personality change since his last chronological appearance in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Considering how the man had no personality to speak of in the original trilogy, any change would admittedly be pretty radical at this point....

There is one fight that stands above all others in this game, and it can only be unlocked through the Light side ending in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: the challenge against the Emperor. For players looking to find out the best way to get through this fight, this guide is here to help. RELATED: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Switch Could Lend Credence to New Game Rumors...

During the recent Nintendo Direct, a switch port for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was announced. There are already a lot of Star Wars games on the horizon, such as Knights of the Old Republic Remake, Ubisoft’s open-world game, Star Wars: Eclipse, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2, and Respawn’s other two games, but this one is more immediate.

With every new addition to the forever-evolving Stars Wars franchise, a series of brand-new exotic beings are introduced to fans. Star Wars has consistently throughout the decades truly surpassed previous expectations and barriers that come with the vast creation of fantastical entities. The Star Wars sequel trilogy proved to keep that impeccable artistic vision intact. Each alien and robot design that was presented felt completely new and yet touchingly familiar....

A few days ago, Electronic Arts teased a new hero character via their Twitter account, but gave no concrete answer as to when to expect his or her official reveal. And even more recently, the team at EA gave fans a glimpse at the concept art showcasing Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Unleashed DLC called Battle of Jakku, based around aspects of the forthcoming film’s story. Taking those tiny tidbits of news into consideration, it’s obvious that the developers are playing their cards pretty close to the vest in order to build some buzz and not completely tip the studio’s hand....

A lot of the Star Wars media that fans have engaged with over the decades has been distinctly focused on the humans in the galaxy far, far, away. As incredible as it has been to see The Skywalker Saga play out through the lives of Anakin, Leia, Luke, and Rey it is time for the series to expand its choice of protagonists. One of the best ways to do that is to have the next Star Wars game feature an alien protagonist....

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is being developed by Respawn Entertainment, the celebrated team behind Apex Legends and the Titanfall series. Fallen Order tells the story of Cal Kestis, a young Jedi Padawan who managed to escape Order 66 when the Jedi were eradicated and is now on the run from the Empire. The combat is said to be a stylish, but deliberate, action system reminiscent of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....

Announced at Star Wars Celebration 2022 with a brief, mysterious trailer, much of Jedi: Survivor is still kept under wraps. While footage from the game itself has been scarce, a tie-in novel was unveiled yesterday that bridges the five-year gap between Fallen Order and Survivor. Titled Jedi: Battle Scars, its announcement led to reputable industry insider Jeff Grubb offering his estimate on Jedi: Survivor’s release date.

Currently, very little is known about the project, but players will be taking on the role of Cal Kestis, a padawan hunted by the Empire during the Dark Times set between Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith and Episode 4: A New Hope. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is not the first work to explore this time period, however, so given the rich lore of Star Wars and these other works, here’s everything we’d love to see in (hopefully) the next big Star Wars game in no particular order....

The anonymous barista, known only as @walkienockie on the video-sharing platform, posted the video on Sunday, in which he claimed his undisclosed Starbucks location has reportedly resorted to purchasing off-brand ingredients in order to meet the high demand for specialty drinks. The Starbucks employee posted the clips of a barren storage room, now with generic brands of syrups and other drink ingredients rather than the traditional Starbucks-branded ones. Alongside the off-brand peppermint and brown sugar bottled syrups, the TikToker highlights one unusual product—Smucker’s Sundae Syrup Caramel Sauce....

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to go toe to toe with an Idris? You’ll soon get your chance. The event was announced via a short teaser trailer debuted on the game’s social media channel’s on Monday afternoon. Following the launch of the Alpha 3.12 Assault on Stanton update, player-controlled fleets will soon take aim at an intergalactic terrorist organization called the XenoThreat. The group has most of the game’s most powerful spacecraft lined up and ready to wage war on the Stanton System that millions of pilots in the Persistent Universe call home....

Really soon, in a galaxy far, far away… gamers can start choosing sides in the war between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire! Bioware has just announced that, starting December 13, 2011, they will be mailing early game access invitations to those who pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic. Players will have access to the game through till December 19, when it will be down briefly before it’s launch the following day....

The Old Republic, which was worthy of the high praise we gave it in our review, has endure its share of problems in the early goings (like most MMOs). Problems like huge Valor exploits being shipped with the first expansion, Rise of the Rakghouls, despite the addition being delayed. BioWare is well aware of the issue and is working to ensure that the exploits will be repaired with the 1....

This New York squad doesn't care about that, obviously. It will gladly take Saturday's 7-2 victory at Bell Centre, because it moves the franchise closer to its first Stanley Cup Final in 20 years.

In a recent interview with Newsweek, Roberts, who is a veteran of the video game industry with three decades of experience, talked about the complexities of the criticisms Anthem is currently facing. He compared Anthem’s situation with that of No Man’s Sky, given that the latter also experienced backlash after the game was released without the features that were initially promised. Roberts said that BioWare must now reconcile its shortcomings by continuously improving the game and updating it to deliver a product that would meet the high standards of the community....

This bombshell was revealed in a new trailer for Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which also showed off some cinematic space combat. In the trailer, a character is being attacked by enemy ships, so she calls for help, catching the attention of one Fox McCloud. Fox then flies in to save the day, and if the trailer is any indication, he will come complete with his usual moveset, including his patented barrel roll maneuver....
