Welcome back to the GearGames weekly video game release feature here at Gear Diary! As I said last week, the well has pretty much run dry on pre-Christmas releases, but that doesn’t mean nothing is arriving!

There is apparently one HUGE release left this year … Star Wars: The Old Republic. I haven’t finished my beta impressions, but if you liked World of Warcraft and Knights of the Old Republic and are looking for something to meld those … this should work for you.

There are a few other console and PC games, such as the XBOX360 and PS3 release of Trine 2 already getting great reviews on the PC, as well as some others. There are a few others worth checking this week – read on to find out!

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
