To simply state that EA's announcement of a Knights of the Old Republic MMOG at the end of E3 was a surprise would be a momentous understatement. Although the Star Wars MMO was the worst kept secret in the industry, the Ten Ton Hammer staff expected large bells and huge whistles to trumpet in the coming of the next-gen Star Wars MMO.

When players I talk to look for quality in gaming they pretty much mention Blizzard and Bioware in the same sentence. So now the two big B’s of gaming will launch into an all out MMO war.
