I compare KotOR and JA regularly, as they are my #1 and #2 all-time favorite games, respectively. KotOR is set at a time of epic galactic expansion, where the *current* fate of the galaxy is hanging in the balance (as witnessed by the ending(s)). J...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Siv it was more the hype factor. review-wise it got what it derserved, but it was over-hyped pre-release. So it fit right in with the (crappy) movies? 2003 was not kind to the Matrix, IMO. I just hope it doesn't trash the legacy...  [Read More]

OK, I'll do mine: - Half-Life - I just never connected. - Call of Duty - sure it was good, but also very short, with no plot - Halo - maybe it rocked in 2001 ... it felt tired in 2003 ... and I felt it was obvious that they stretched it to be longer...  [Read More]

OK, here's the thing - we are always seeing 'top 10' this or that ... best of 2003, 2002, 2001 and so on, occasionally the 'top 25 all-time' or whatever. My thought is this - since we've been told what we *should* like as our top whatever number of...  [Read More]

But you can get decent lighting in JA from the saber - unlike in JKII, which was wrong, IMO. JK was a bit over the top, JA was more like EpII in the lighting regard. In fact, I could easily see a Dooku vs. Anakin style showdown in JA. Poor JK. Right...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Prime Yeah, but X-Wing Alliance came out 7 years after X-Wing. Jedi Academy came out 18 months after Jedi Outcast. Exactly! You make my point for me! 18 is greater than 7! So the JA graphics compared to JO should be 257% better...  [Read More]

Actually some good thoughts, Xemoka - not that I agree with all of them, but what does that matter ;) I think one clear thing - the whole SP vs. MP thing. Personally I don't care *AT ALL* if JKII or JA had no MP component. Sure, I've played it - bu...  [Read More]
