Voices + <em>The Old Republic</em> = biscuits and gravy: A warning to <em>SWTOR</em> players

Have you ever heard a voice on the radio, promoting some god-awful-yet-delicious meal or snack, and by the end of the bit you’re seriously considering getting it? Well apparently, it can happen in video games too.

They are a genre of games designed to be played for years and only a few weeks after launch it would almost be impossible for me to tell you what I really think of the game.
