LAGWAR | GAMING'S BEST IN TOP NOTCH MEDIOCRITY

In my last story, I criticized Cryptic for lack of tweets.  Turns out, I just couldn’t find them.  They were there!  They just ported it straight over from Champions!  Sorry Cryptic.  I will try to be a keen observer of neatly hidden features in future.  To access this, among other things such as your [...]

Star Trek Online has been hard at work trying to put as much detail as they can into the game to make players feel fully immersed into this famous science fiction genre.  Additions such as vintage Star Trek uniforms are sure to make Trekkers around the world get excited.
