Star Wars: The Old Republic Is Most Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year for 2011, Says AbleGamers

The AbleGamers Foundation, which aims to push forward the cause of gamers that must deal with disabilities, has selected the BioWare made MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic as the Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year for 2011, saying that the game manages to offer a lot of options for gamers who must play with physical limitations.

AbleGamer states, “SWTOR also features many accessibility options such as full subtitles, queue-able actions, multiple action bars, area looting, auto looting, and built-in mouse sensitivity. Other built-in features such as automatically turning to face the monster you are killing, mini map colors being colorblind friendly, full subtitles, and the ability to control the entire game from the keyboard or with the mouse, only increase the reasons to herald this game as a success for game accessibility.”

BioWare has managed to win the award before with Dragon Age: Origins and other recipients of the Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year also include Warhammer Online: Age of the Reckoning and Forza Motorsport 3 from Turn 10.
