Jedi Academy: Review

September 16th, 2010 No comments

Well, it’s certainly taken some time to get round to writing anything about this game. According to Xfire I’ve played for around 110 hours so I guess it’s about time I gave it a crack.

Firstly, JKA is an old game… about seven years old in fact. I could kick myself for missing this when it came out, but at the time I will have been entering into a contract to sell my soul to Monster Hunter so it’s no suprise really. A lot of games slipped past me back then as nothing was dragging me away from hammering Rath’s in the face and boozing it up with everyone in Hunters Tavern.

Playing this week…

February 22nd, 2010 No comments

Back to regular gaming this week thanks to the new Xbox.

I’ll mainly be playing the following…

I still have a few missions to mop up on AvP but will be playing multiplayer to death this week. Rebellion really nailed this one in my opinion. With three different species providing three different play styles there is something for everyone here. The game is loaded with tension and atmosphere, and graphically the game is superb.

Jedi Academy is one of those games I’m kicking myself for not having played when it first came out and there were more people online. The single player, while good fun, pales in comparison to the online mode. A third person Jedi game that actually does lightsaber combat well, built on the Quake 3 engine? How can you go wrong?

Will post some more on these two games later this week after I get a good run at them.
