There was a news item today on the Penny Arcade website where Gabe (the artist for their comics, for those who are not familiar with PA) discusses some of his thoughts on playing the beta for The Old Republic.
It is not an actual review, but just thoughts and impressions. It mainly focuses on the story and character aspects of the game, as the mechanics are ever changing.
Anyways, here is the article. Have a read through. It certainly made me want to play the game even more.
P.S. If you don't already, read Penny Arcade. Great comics and generally dependable news for gaming and geekdom

PA guys say look forward to it? Heck yeah. I keep hearing from these previews that Bioware has managed to make people care about their characters' identities (instead of just being "strong" statistically). Now I just have to figure out what class I want to play before they release.
You're in the Dark Brotherhood, Eiko, it's obligatory to roll at least one Dark Sider ;D
Anyway, this article really seems to be the proof that the all the hardwork that BW has been putting into this "fourth pillar" is really pay off. If I had any doubts about whether or not I'm getting the game, they're gone now, after seeing the last few updates/articles.
I really can't wait for this game. Every time theres more info about it without a release date, its like torture...
Patience, what's that?
Wow, I can't wait till this game is out. It sounds even better now. Instead of a class playing the game, its the game playing your class.
Oh, I'll be on the Dark Side. But I'm horribly split between Warrior, Inquisitor, and Agent.
