Ranged classes especially are a joke, because they just STAND there while getting shot at.

This video is a perfect example of what you can expect from TOR. Not even mentioning the ranged combat was atrocious, what about those dialog options? "I want you dead you sick filth"? The space combat is on rails, the graphics look like from a decade ago, crude animation, sorry, I'm just not interested at all in TOR, and from the looks on its developers faces - neither are they. Just another copypasta MMO made to make money. Compare that to a game that is changing the stale MMO genre for the better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frwLktirnYo

I enjoyed the Zelda series as a child. Like for many gamers out there, Ocarina of Time still remains my all time favorite. I'm not so intrigued by the new direction Nintendo has taken, aiming the franchise completely at children. Wind Waker had a great, long story, exploration, and item collecting. I actually enjoyed Twilight Princess. The beginning was strong, and then it spiraled down drastically towards the end. Zant for example was thought to be so badass throughout most of the story, and then in the end you fight some kind of crazed monkey and the reaction is just like wut. They also chose once again not to orchestrate the music, and just made everything in MIDI files.

I won't comment on the new Zelda games for the DS. Zelda and trains? I guess next Link dresses up as a cowboy. But thats typical Nintendo destroying their franchises. I was disappointed with Metroid: Other M, they took the strong personality of Samus Aran and made her some emotional kitchen housewife.
