TOPIC: Name your top five Star Wars video games and why

Jedi Knight II and III (PC)... the main reason I love both of these games is the feeling of power you get when you use the force abilities. There's just nothing like Force jumping above a group of stormtroopers, then Force Pulling them into the upper atmosphere, and watching them hurl up into the sky only to come falling back down to the ground as you laugh with delight.

This is tough, but here goes:

1&2. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, can't decide a which I like more. Revan might give 1 the edge over 2.

3. Rogue Squadron N64, so many memories playing that game for hours. It was also very addicting.

4. Shadows of the Empire N64, again the nostalgia plays a huge part in this one. Again, very addicting.

5. The Force Unleashed. The second one had updated graphics and better game mechanics, but the story of the first was so great and Galen/Starkiller was such a cool character.

It's so hard to pick just 5...

Makes me want to play Outcast all over again. Wish I still had my Academy disc, but I lent it to a family member and never got it back...

KOTOR was great with Revan, but KOTOR 2 had a better expansion and overall a different feel to the game, like it was way darker and serious tone. I like 2 better in terms of gameplay, and customization. There were awhole bunch of lightsaber options to choose from in the game, I always went with orange or bronze. The different equipment was way more selective, especially the robes, the Jedi Master robes were very hard to get, I only got them once.

Has anyone tried the new arcade game yet?

No love for Bounty Hunter???

1. SWTOR

Ah ah ah!! Kidding.

1. KOTOR 1: reasons are the same than the obvious stated above. Though I liked KOTOR 2, it lacked some cool stuff from the 1st, not in features but in story telling. The main quest was far from being as good as in KOTOR 1, the graphics had not evolved much, and there no real new Force powers or capabilities. KOTOR 1 however, I remember playing it and thinking: I must finish this quick else I won't be able to study and pass my exams. Good times! I actually bought it again recently on Steam. Having lots of fun with it. I particularly like the step by step fall to the dark side or going up the light side.

2. Jedi Academy I & II: Loved the story, loved the quests, loved to jump all over, push troopers around, etc ... Grabbing people by the throat and letting them fall into lava was so much fun! (we sound like psychopaths, you do realise that people?). Interesting stories, seeing Luke Skywalker older was pretty fun as well, and the lightsabers throw to cut down trees or people was fun as well.

3. SWTOR: I love RPGs and MMOs and Star Wars, anything that combines at least two of those is usually a hit for me. Liked the richness of the story missions based on your choices and how you want to go around completing quests. LOVE the storytelling, the ability to develop actual relationships with your crew and all. That is super fun!

4. Star Wars : Battlefront II. How many hours have I spent on Kamino headshooting droids? Don't know, probably won't ever know, surely do not need nor want to know (too many hours, I probably could have gotten a PhD instead of playing).

5. No actual fifth game, I played Jedi Outcast, but not enough to get a real feeling off of it nor have any actual opinion of it. I am however REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to the new Battlefront. It looks amazing, promises tons of features and thousands of hours of fun either on solo ops or multiplayer missions. I like the fact they're bringing back the "Hero" feature, giving a Jedi or Sith to a random player on the map.


All in all, I liked every Star Wars game I played, and I particularly liked anything involving Revan. That guy probably could get rid of Yoda in a finger snap and would have gotten rid of Palpatine quite easily I think. I love this character and wish we had seen more of him in other games or the EU.
