    Republic commando is INTENSE. You will not regret buying that game. The controls are fluid, story is good. :D I loved that game. I followed it from announcement to release and completed it in 2 days. LOL Shame I lost the discs. :(

    Republic Commando, is that one of the flying/shooters like the old X-Wing/Tie Fighter game?

    If so maybe a good reason to dust off my old Saitek joystick :p

    I have not actually seen the jedi knight games listed yet, but swear I read a few people saying they were coming.

    No. :( It's team based FPS. The team controls are really quite good. The in game HUD is quite nice too.

    Multiplayer was really good too, but I doubt many people still play multiplayer in that game.

    I just finished Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that I bought today.... pretty short game... rather annoying though, haha. Good game nonetheless.

    Republic Commando is definitely a good game, I still have my discs around though. And if you like adventure games, Indy and the Fate of Atlantis is a great game.

    Ahh, I was more a fan of the jedi knight M player, traditional old school fps but add in great level design and a light saber & force powers and you have probably one of the best fps games that ever exsisted.

    force jumping into hidden areas for weapons, pushing somebody off an edge or these huge lightsaber battles.

    No other online fps game has ever had me on the edge of my seat like that. This is why I got that HORRIBLE game called Shadow Run, because it had "magic" powers that were similar to force powers I thought maybe a new game came out to give the same effect but it was not even close, and probably the biggest waist of $50 ever.

    Thanks Johnny T, i know you have some pretty good taste in games so maybe ill pick it up. It would be a plus if it had 360 controller support.

    True master :) And recently the "offline" mode for me has been working flwaless. I had alot of problems with offline at the beginning but it looks they fixed it :D

    I've played most of the Star Wars games at some point in my life haha. I love the Jedi Knight games.. I have JKII Jedi Outcast still, but not Jedi Academy. I'd definitely get that if it was offered.

    Star Wars Empire At War is pretty fun too.

    Yeah Empire at war is really good too, but I find it more fun when you use mods to unlock the population cap. Massive space battles! :D The space part I found was really good, land part was abit meh.

    I agree with you there, Johnny. The space battles were way more fun, especially with the pop cap unlocked :) Some of the land battles got a bit tedious and not so fun, but controlling Darth Vader and the Emperor together never really gets old :p
