SOTE was cool, moreso for the whole multimedia onsluaght that came with it - the games, OST etc. Still, and with no aplogies, the NJO series is my favourite. You have to admire the planning that has gone into it - 19 books, plus 2 ebooks, almost a d...  [Read More]

Bummer. You just got to tinker with the settings. Have you got the latest drivers for your card... switch dynamic glow OFF to begin with, that slows down framerate on whatever system you have. The next things to drop would be to scale back to bilin...  [Read More]

Yeah, start with SP definitely. There are some great things that happen in SP, but it sorta depends if your a star wars fan too, as a general rule, the bigger the fan you are the more interested you will be in the SP storyline, let alone the gameplay...  [Read More]

Without getting into one of those 'this is how things happen in the star wars universe' arguments, its not a huge surprise that the reborn are just hot heads running at you with sabers, as opposed to the characters in JKI. Seeing that they were sudde...  [Read More]
