he team here at Computer Games magazine is getting better at bringing the publication out every week, but it hasn’t been easy. As anyone who’s worked on a weekly publication will tell you, it’s not easy. No sooner has the previous issue been released, flicked through, read, admired and/or criticised, than the new issue is in production. Some readers have asked why they can’t find the magazine during the day on Monday when they look online. The answer is we are still producing it. We try our best to get it ready and online as early as possible on Monday. We advertise the magazine as being out every Monday, but in truth, it’s usually past midnight by the time we finally upload it to the web. We apologise to the readers who wait for the magazine and than you for your patience. We’ll try to work faster and get it online earlier on Monday. l

Each player’s behavior is governed by a wealth of stats, and this allows users to create scoring opportunities by exploiting the strengths of their chosen team. The PES 2012 App offers an extensive

tar Wars: The Old Republic will launch in North America on December 20, 2011 and in Europe on December 22, 2011. That’s according to the official announcement made by Dr Ray Muzyka and Dr Greg Zeschuk, co-founders of BioWare, a label of Electronic Arts. The two doctors made their announcement at the Eurogamer Expo last week. Set thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Old Republic is a massively multiplayer online game challenging players with epic quests, featuring dynamic combat across iconic worlds in the Star Wars galaxy such as Tatooine, Alderaan, Hoth and more. Each of the game’s eight primary classes will enjoy their own unique trilogy of storylines, all of which are fully voiced with a sweeping musical score. Anticipation for the award-winning MMO is at an all-time high as Star Wars: The Old Republic has broken EA pre-order records and won over 95 industry awards and accolades from game critics worldwide. “In 1977, Lucasfilm created magic with the release of Star Wars. Our goal is to capture some of that magic when we go live with Star Wars: The Old Republic on December 20,” said Dr Ray Muzyka, Co-Founder, BioWare and General Manager, BioWare Label. “This is an incredible moment for everyone at BioWare and our partners at Lucas Arts who have dedicated so much of their lives to building this extraordinary game.” Added Dr Greg Zeschuk, Co-Founder, BioWare and General Manager of the MMO
