How NeoGAF rose to become one of the Internet’s biggest and most notorious video game forums.

Nadia Oxford writes: "NeoGAF is arguably the most popular gaming community operating today. The sprawling boards shelter 50,000 members — and not just game fans: Well-recognized developers, writers, and other industry veterans hang out at NeoGAF to discuss the state of gaming.

But not every crevice of NeoGAF is about fun times with good friends. There’s drama, cynicism, and — heaven forefend — sarcasm. The community has been described as a gamers’ ‘Mos Eisley’. NeoGAF may be criticized for its pockets of "scum and villainy," but much like Tatooine’s cantina in Star Wars, the site is varied, lively, and always up for a good fistfight."

LucasArts has released a new update for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Sith Edition, now available for download. The patch updates the game to v1.2 adding increased general performance among other improvements and fixes.

You can’t help but wonder whether BioWare’s upcoming MMOG, Star Wars

The Old Republic, will be able to port the same roleplaying aspect their successful single player games are known for to a new platform. It is a question Mattlow ponders in his latest editorial.

BioWare has released another nugget of information on the upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic, this time about the planet of Taris.

Taris was famously destroyed in Knights of the Old Republic by Malak in an attempt to kill Bastila Shan, so players will get a chance to see how the planet looks now, 300 years later, in the latest Developer Dispatch.

The hero and the villain. It’s the age-old formula that pervades today’s reality TV showdowns, the shenanigans of professional wrestling and cinematic classics like Star Wars. Tech is no different, with its passionate heroes who balance profit with innovation and social responsibility, and the money-mad, egomaniac villains who simply cannot be trusted. Here’s a look at tech’s good guys and bad guys.

People really do like Star Wars, don’t know if you’ve noticed that, and Indiana Jones is pretty well loved too. No matter how many times certain franchises let you down and urinate on your precious childhood memories people just keep going back to them.

Rockband, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman… Did you really think they’d leave poor “Pottah” out? Not a chance. In fact, never to be outdone, he, like Dumbledore before him, is coming out May 2010 for the PC, Wii, 360, DS, PSP, and PS3.  Here’s the trailer, along with some fancy screens. Altogether now: Ooohh… Ahhh…

GB writes: "I was surfing through Bioware’s website and I came across this interesting list of games. It currently shows Mass Effect 2(already released) and Star Wars: The Old Republic under development. But if you look the third game it shows that Bioware are developing an unannounced new IP."

IncGamers writes up the past week of MMO news, which this time includes the topics Star Trek Online, Fallen Earth, Blizzard Entertainment, Age of Conan, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Kingdom Under Fire II and Global Agenda.

LucasArts has confirmed that Star Wars: The Old Republic is pencilled in for a spring 2011 release.

EA’s John Riccitiello hinted at a 2011 release for the much-anticipated MMO in an earnings call yesterday, but LucasArts has since confirmed the target to IncGamers.

LucasArts also confirmed it is still looking for testers for the game.
