One particular story he covered about Star Wars: The Old Republic appeared on Google News and now has nearly 30,000 views. This means great things for DesktopReview!

A playable Guild Wars 2 demo was available at PAX East as well, and it centered around the just-revealed thief and guardian professions, as well as the well-known Norn race.

One extremely interesting tidbit we gathered just recently from NCsoft and ArenaNet is that thieves can dual-wield guns; something unprecedented in the Guild Wars world.

Check out my latest blog on DesktopReview for more specifications on the new thief class.
