EA taking a Batman Arkham-style approach to its Star Wars games

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has said in a new interview that the challenge of working on a beloved IP like Star Wars is making sure you retain the spirit of the series. To that end, the publisher is looking to emulate the approach Warner Bros. took with its Batman Arkham games.

Someone's playing Star Wars: The Old Republic free for a year (one of these guys is me!)

In early November, I announced a challenge to IGN's burgeoning Star Wars: The Old Republic community: Help us make the The Old Republic wiki awesome and we'll make sure you play the game for free for a year.
Quenta stepped up to the challenge. Administering a whopping 3,300+ edits to the Star Wars wiki, Quenta poured in all the knowledge he gained from the public betas that ran on various weekends since November. Hands down, he demolished the challenge and hereby wins the grand prize--a Collector's Edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic plus a one-year subscription to the game. Quenta, dude--you don't have to pay to play this game for the next year.
Five other winners get regular copies of the game and six-month subscriptions. Thanks all for your help and I wholeheartedly hope to see your future edits in the recent changes log. This Star Wars: The Old Republic wiki is just getting started.

Did you miss out on this wiki contributor challenge? No sweat--we're planning more because I heart wiki contributors. In fact, we're running another wiki challenge right now. And I'm always open to suggestions--if you think we should be running a contributor challenge for something else, let me know! I want these wikis to be as much yours as they are mine.
