the reborn was an ok, but not brilliant, way to introduce new saber wielding foes... i think if they had fleshed the story out a bit better (same goes for dessann) it might have worked a lot better. never had much probelm with the 7 DJs in JK, but...  [Read More]

JO would never have gotten half the scores it got if it hadn't been Star Wars based and a sequel to JK. I did see a few 4/10 and 5/10 reviews out there that were a lot more objective than the 94% Best Game Ever???!? PC Gamer Reviews....  [Read More]
