    Giving a review to an MMO is stupid. At least you didn't say something silly like it had amazing graphics or anything.

    He did it over a few weeks not like other sites who just played for a while then put a score to their little play time. Coop but a LOT of time into TOR, this is the best review of it

    So... I'm expected to dish out $60 on a game then pay $15 a month with no reviews?

    Paying 15 dollars a month for a game at all is hilarious Wait for GW2

    You fail to understand that, in the long run (and in the short run), you're paying less for "Play to pay" MMOs than you would "Free to play." As for Guild Wars, that's a bit of an anomaly, and while I would never dare the amount of content packed into it, I doubt it would have the consistent updates, content adage, and initial content that big MMOs like this have. I know being "free" at first glance may sound appealing, but it's not as much as you'd be getting. Plus, it'll keep you busy and compelled for months.

    SO true!

    Paying X amount for cable/internet/gas/insurance/etc a month is hilarious.

    Comparing TOR to necessities Typical Biodrone

    Yeah, I've enjoyed The Old Republic a lot so far, but I've gotta agree, that's a really dumb thing to do.

    Four pages? Well done, Coop. You put a hell of a lot of effort into this review, and it really shows. Excellent read, I gotta say. I really want to play The Old Republic, as KOTOR is one of my favorite games of all time, but I can't justify paying for an MMO. Perhaps later in the year.
