Hey all: There's a new preview at UGO check it out here (http://www.ugo.com/channels/games/features/starwars_jediacademy/) . Not bad ... nothing major or new. Also, my new issue of Maximum PC came with a full 2-page spread of Jedi Academy - it was...  [Read More]

I love this movie ... but it reminds me how well Valve is playing the marketing game. They've released nothing new since E3, yet are getting all of the press by dishing small chunks of what they did show in hi-res blocks. They do it once a week and e...  [Read More]

Well ... we have heard that there is no 'morality scale' like in JK (and similar to what is seen in KOTOR), but there must be something. I only hope it is a cumulative effect - I don't care if they show me progress, I should have a clue how my decis...  [Read More]

When I see something like this - concern about EU in JA (or JO way back when), it really all comes back to one thing - the Vong and the NJO. Jedi Academy on Yavin - no prob, same for just about anything else we've seen or heard ... but the NJO / Vong...  [Read More]

Marketing is about timing and avoiding saturation. LA is still riding KOTOR, which is still very new in the market. They also have the GameCube tie in for Rebel Strike. They have to be very careful about over-pushing 3 Star Wars titles at the same ti...  [Read More]
