This is surely the year for Star Wars games

Knights of the Old Republic is out for XBox next week, which will be the first true Star Wars RPG (it even uses the Star Wars D20 rules!!! So it's actually like a D&D/Star Wars hybrid in a way). It's made by the kings themselves, Bioware! It will be out in Fall for PC (but I'm getting the XBox version next week).

Also coming out this fall, and in some ways is even more exciting, is Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy! They say there will be double the amount of saber moves, you can design how your character looks, you can have single, double or dual lightsabers, there are vehicles (!!) and rideables like tauntauns, and there will be more game modes. There will also be objective based team modes (which is exactly what everyone was whining for in JKO... they even have Hoth in this game).

IGN Preview: http://pc.ign.com/articles/401/401890p1.html

Excerpt: "Expect the standard deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag options. There will also be objective-based multiplayer missions similar to Counter-Strike, complete with character specializations such as demolitions expert, infantry trooper and, of course, Jedi. There are even Jedi variations. For example, you may opt to be an all-out offensive Jedi with double sabers, or you might instead choose to be a Jedi that supports the troops and specialize in healing force powers."

so, because start wars gets spammed one year, it's their year? This year already belongs to HalfLife 2 and Doom 3.

Btw if you did not know Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is based on the Jedi Academy Series of books the trilogy is about Luke creating the Jedi Academy for the New Rebublic on Yavin IV temple :-)

No, Star Wars gets "spammed" every year. This year they are getting "spammed" by good games.

And did I say ANYTHING akin to "SARTR WRSA 0WNZ THSI YEREA"? No, I said this is THE year for Star Wars games. As opposed to other years, where Lucasarts did not have a good run of Star Wars games. Do you actually speak English or just pretend to?
