I've tried playing massively multiplayer online games in the past, but nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to make me feel it worth the monthly fee. Yet here I am in the midst of E3, surrounded by amazing games, planning the purchase of a new gaming PC for next spring so that I can play one. All Points Bulletin, or APB, is the upcoming action-MMO from RealTime Worlds, the group that made the successful Xbox 360 game Crackdown. And it is easily one of my most anticipated games. Release Date: June 29, 2010 |

The Jedi are held responsible for the success of the Sith and choose to relocate from Coruscant to Tython, where the Jedi order had been initially founded, to seek guidance from the Force.
