'Star Wars: Battlefront' gets Lando Calrissian in Bespin DLC
DICE just can't stop making wonderful downloadable content for Star Wars: Battlefront. And although we already knew the game was getting new goodies this summer, the developer has now shared more details about the Bespin DLC. Most notably, beloved character Lando Calrissian is being added into the mix along with Dengar, the ruthless bounty hunter from The Clone Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. Both arrive in June.
Get closer to The Old Republic's Smuggler class
BioWare's latest Star Wars: The Old Republic dev blog gives us a look into their thoughts and reasoning on the creation of the Smuggler class. Frankly, we're smitten with the idea that as a Smuggler we could romance a Jedi Knight. Yep, it's been decided. We're going to spend most of our time tallying up romantic conquests and witty one-liners when this game finally arrives.The rest of the dev blog takes a look at all the various aspects of being a Smuggler, such as combat, companions, loyalties and snappy dialog. BioWare also touches on the different varieties of Smuggler that exist in their lore. It's a fun look into what makes the class tick, so if you're considering wielding a blaster and potentially donning a cape that even Lando would be jealous of, we think you'll enjoy the read.
The Star Wars Retrospective: Episode II
If you've got 23 minutes to kill and a hankering for some Star Wars video game adaptation history this Sunday morning, we highly suggest securely fastening your lookin' balls onto the second installment in GameTrailers' Star Wars Retrospective. After the first episode's focus on the primitive origins of the franchise, it's nice to see some games that we've actually played -- including JVC's punishing SNES adaptations of the original trilogy, a LEGO title, and the legendary Star Wars Trilogy Arcade from Sega. It's also nice to see a little more Lando -- considering the next episode's progression to the games based on the newer films, it'll probably be the last we see of him for a while.
The Star Wars Retrospective: Episode I
As promised, the first of GameTrailers' ten-part series chronicling the history of Star Wars' numerous adaptations to the video game world premiered today. The games discussed in this particular episode are probably before most of our readers' (and our) times -- an era characterized by cutting-edge vector graphics and Speak-and-Spell quality vocal tracks. Still, it's interesting to see the origins of one of the most prolific video game franchises on Earth. Little light on the Lando for our tastes, however -- an oversight we hope they'll correct in Episode II.
