No Barriers to Fun!

We met our friend Giddeon at the AbleGamers Accessibility Arcade in Atlantic City, New Jersey. When he first sat down with the AbleGamers crew, Giddeon didn't want to play any games. He told us that with his disability gaming was difficult. Giddeon has a rare disease that caused the growth of his arms .. Read More

Shepherd University invited the AbleGamers Foundation to come on campus and do one of our Accessibility Arcades for the students and local disabled community.

Last 2 SWTOR Classes Announced

swtor classes {sidebar id=1}Finally, all of the classes for the upcoming Star Wars the Old Republic are finally known. The Sith Inquisitor and the Jedi Consular are the last two classes to join the ranks of the next generation Star Wars MMO. For those who have lost track, the eight classes that we will be able to choose from are the following:

Trooper
Smuggler
Bounty Hunter
Imperial Agent
Sith Warrior
Sith Inquisitor
Jedi Consular
Jedi Knight

The classes are rather well-balanced but there is still a certain disappointment that the next Star Wars game will pigeonhole us into classes, reminiscent of every other MMO RPG. Many of us were hoping to see a continuation of the free to choose your own destiny type of game that the original Star Wars Galaxies was before it was ruined by the NGE.

The comments I have heard so far from the loyal SWG fans have consisted of “you mean, there isn't a creature handler?” “What do you mean I can't be a dancer?” “I don't want to go kill things I just want to put down harvesters!”

Unfortunately, those of us who were hoping for SWG2 are going to be sorely disappointed. This is not going to be a sequel, or a do over, or redemption. No, this is going to be its very own thing with its own unique flavor.

Nevertheless, that does not stop those of us who were loyal fans from hoping SWTOR will add as much they possibly can from our old favorite niche game. If you would like to read more about each individual class and what they will offer, check out the details on every class.
