Issue 71: Last week was launch week for a couple of titles (or expansions) that I have been talking about often. I’m sure you are aware by now that these titles are Age of Wushu and SWTOR’s first expansion. Read on to see additional details about their respective launches. I haven’t picked up the SWTOR expansion yet. I want to but I’m still trying to justify the cost since so few of my friends are still playing it I lack the motivation.
If you are playing the SWTOR expansion, I’d like to hear from you. I’ve already received some great feedback from the folks on Google+. Actually, if you are partaking in any of the new things talked about in this issue I’d be curious as to your impressions. Age of Wushu went live, some new raid content for TSW, we have some more Infinite Crisis news and more!
On a final note, I want to express my heartfelt sorrow for those victims of the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Its despicable that someone is capable of such atrocities. My thoughts and prayers are with all the runners and the communities affected by this tragedy.

New Raid in TSW Patch
Posted 4.15.13 – Apparently The Secret World had a patch and with it came a new raid. I don’t even recall reading anywhere that this was coming down the line. This raid takes place in the Kingsmouth wreckage. It’s called The Island of Stillborn Stars; sounds creepy. There were some minor quality-of-life adjustments but it seems the raid is the star of this patch.

Green Lantern Joins Infinite Crisis
Posted 4.11.13 – The title says it all. Turbines upcoming title, Infinite Crisis, has a new hero of decimation, the Green Lantern. It looks to be the Hal Jordan version (as they mention a test-pilot gone hero – as opposed to hair-stylist gone hero). Check out the video, it does look like a pretty fun hero to play.

Age of Wushu Launchs
Posted 4.10.13 – Free-2-Play MMO Age of Wushu, which I have been talking about quite frequently, has officially launched. I intend to check out this game and if I play it long enough I would try to do a write up on it if anyone is interested in my thoughts. Massively has a pretty good round up to get you started with this new title. If you are checking this game out, please post your thoughts, I’m curious what you think. (By the way, I actually saw a commerical for this the night before it launched on Adult Swim).

Rise of the Hutt Cartel Has Launched
Posted 4.9.13 – The first expansion for Bioware’s SWTOR has gone live! I have not picked up the expansion … yet. I’m tempted but its hard to justify spending the $20 right now when I have other things that I’m playing and doing to warrant the cash-to-availability ratio. However, Larry Everett, Massively’s resident Star Wars expert has done a nice post about the expansion.
