If you're as entrenched in pop culture as much as I am, it's near impossible to not 'feel' that power beginning to take hold. Said power is a huge part of what what EA is banking on with Star Wars: Battlefront Taking the namesake of one of the most beloved Star Wars games of all time and[...]

Watching the response to Battlefront over the last week has been fascinating Some in the hardcore gaming community have panned the game as not deep enough, while others who just mildly enjoy games and like Star Wars seem to love it by my crude and over-simplified estimation I'm getting a whole host of reactions relayed[...]

By Adam Cook As if excitement surrounding Star Wars wasn't high enough already, EA Access members (you know, that thing only on Xbox One) can download Star Wars: Battlefront to play for ten hours right now. Weighing in at just shy of 20GB, it's not a huge game (though it's taken me about ten hours to download[...]

Playing as heroes and villains in the old Battlefront games was a real delight I remember playing as Darth Maul as tons of stormtroopers filtered out towards me and I cut them all down in seconds It's a pretty cool power fantasy that has stuck with me since.
