Star Wars: The Old Republic – Rise of the Hutt Cartel Review

I admit, I was a little worried. After all the hubbub surrounding Star Wars: The Old Republic’s rocky transition to free-to-play and the departure of much of its creative team, I was half prepared to boot up the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion and hear BioWare developers filling in for actor David Hayter‘s original voice work for the Jedi Knight. Happily, that’s not the case. The last year might have been rough for BioWare, but Rise of the Hutt Cartel reveals refuses to flinch on the promise to deliver entertaining, fully voiced stories that shame the writing and production quality of its competitors.

He’s the only Snake I know,” you say? Yes, you might feel this way, but allow today’s episode to offer you some insight on why exactly this shocking news has come to pass. Still upset? The comments below are yours to vent in.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Story DLC Stars Sam, Bladewolf

Platinum Games has revealed its plans for add-on content for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The three packs each have unique features, characters, or story content.

The first expansion features 30 additional VR missions, and the Snake Soul wooden sword, which speaks in the voice of Solid Snake. Looks like actor David Hayter will return to Metal Gear after all, despite Snake’s total absence in Rising’s main story. It will also feature side-scrolling objectives with a fixed-camera.

Following that, the main villain of Metal Gear Rising, Jetstream Sam, will see his own expansion pack. Platinum won’t detail it quite yet, but imagery shows Sam fighting typical cyborgs as well as a Metal Gear Ray.
