Other games like Shadows of the Empire dealth with racing mini-games, and KOTOR already has a racing mini-game. I'd just like to see Swoop bike racing against an actual opponent. I'm still all for two parties, and two ships. Revan travelled out to Unknown Space. Surely has has a new ship.

I got almost all violet crystals, and then I got two viridian, or whatever they were and a shop eventually offered me a silver crystal.

What games in particular? I'm waiting for the PS2 port of RE4, BTW. And thanks for hunting down that article.

People talk about the unanswered portions of KOTOR:2, but we still don't know exactly what Revan and Malak encountered that made them turn to the Dark Side. We don't know where they discovered the Star Forge, or how they recruited so many members of the Sith. They didn't simply fall as Jedi. They became Sith. I think much of the backstory still is untold. After KOTOR:3, I think we could have a really good Manadalorian War prequel.

Well, after X1, they resigned the cast right away, but didn't resign Singer. They shopped for a new director a while. And during X1 they cut the budget and upped the release date, all the while advertising the movie as a tentpole summer project. They set him up for failure, and then didn't want to bring him back for a sequel. Eventually they did, and again X2 did well. They resigned most of the cast, but wouldn't resign Singer. They waited a year and again they didn't sign him. WB offered him total control over Superman, and they really wanted him. So it was partly Fox treating him poorly, and partly WB treating him really well. Fox didn't fire Singer, but they didn't rehire him either.

I'm afraid of driving on the Information Superhighway. I try to stick to local Intrawebs, where the bandwidth limit is lower.

Ignore the lime, and the recently disturbed ground behind my house.

I think X-Men 2 was particularly good. The first movie lacked great action sequences, and served mainly to set things up. But the second movie was very well directed, and had tons of great character moments.

I have total faith that these guys have the talent of make a good KOTOR game. If you ask me, they already did. And with a longer development cycle, I think they can make a great one.

I've been reading Aint It Cool for years. They very rarely have inaccurate spy reports. The guys often get scripts early to review and critique, though in this case, the script review came from an industry source. They didn't read the script themselves. However Fox has said this would be contraversial, and character death was to be expected. Aint It Cool did have inside sources to help them report Vaughn's hiring before anyone else, the casting of Beast, Vaughn quitting, Rattner being hired, etc. So since they scooped everyone on all the other X3 news, I have to believe the script is legit, even if it is an early draft. Then again, filming is supposed to start in like 10 days.

If you want an epic battle with large numbers of troops, that's fine. But I don't want 20 boring party members. I want 5 or 6 great ones.

I just don't believe in giving money to a company that doesn't try to give me the same level of quality for my buck. They alienate 3rd party developers, and keep releasing the same things over and over again. Sony and M$ lose money on their hardware so I can get the best console for my dollar. Nintendo sells much cheaper hardware, and turns a profit despite selling far fewer consoles. They're not trying to push any boundaries. And Nintendo claims to be the huge innovators, but most of their innovations have been failed gimmics. Sure they gave us the analog stick first, but it was a poor analog stick. They also gave us the U-Force, Virtua Boy, Super Scope Six, etc. Check out the Donkey Konga drums. And the Gameboy Micro has the same processor as the Gameboy Advance? I find it hard to believe that the Game Gear released 10 years ago is as powerful as the Advance, and Nintendo can't release anything better today? Again, they perpetuate second-rate hardware while the Lynx, Game Gear, Nomad, Neo Geo Pocket, etc, etc. were all technically superior hand-helds.

Is no one else upset at what Fox has done to the movie franchise in driving away the screenwriters and director? Is anyone else upset at this plot for X-Men 3?

Gameboy player fits underneath the GC and lets you play the whole library of GBA games. That was probably as much a part of buying a GC than for the cube itself. Bit like the back catalogue is going to be a good portion of the motivation to buy a revolution. The golden sun series alone (which are puzzle heavy RPGS) would be worth the cost of a GC (at todays price). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just so you know, the back-library isn't free. Nintendo is trying to get you to purchase games you've already purchased on another system. Wow, that's a first. And it's a smoke-screen to divert attention away from the fact that they lack a huge library of console exclusives. Honestly, I play my GBA games on my TV through my XBox, and the VisualBoyAdvance emulator.

I appreciate the work that was put in, but honestly I wish we could have gotten more cinematic moments like that. Star Wars is supposed to be very cinematic. It's one of the things I'm noticing about Jade Empire and really digging, is that before every major boss fight or battle, we get a cinematic opening to the battle demonstrating the first few blows on each side. It breaks up the same-old same-old animations of Force Wave-Master Flurry. It also helps the game feel like a Wuxia movie, instead of a video game.

The age of video game players keeps going up. Games should reflect that.

Fanboy goo. It comes from attending too many cons and not bathing.

What do you mean? Buying a GB made you want a GC more or less?

His charity is sitting on 21 billion dollars. And that foundation could be a non-profit organization that accepts donations to pay out grants. He's using it as a tax shelter. He puts money in that isn't taxed, and then accepts donations to actually pay out grants while his money sits there going untaxed.

You forgot Scientology.

I have a pen-and-paper droid character I lovede called OS3P0. The concept was to have the droid behave much like a crazed Oliver Stone. He was really overtly paranoid. Through manipulation alone, a simple droid became more powerful than any Jedi in that campaign. Since then, I've been waiting for a Star Wars video game where I could name a droid, to reuse the name OS3P0.

Honestly, I see sandbox games like Spore and complex AI in titles like Black and White and wonder why other games are so horribly lacking in these areas. Can't EA put together a basic FPS AI library that they can share with any development team putting together a FPS under EA's purview? Games today are short, and static. They're also a bit too easy. When I replay old NES games I find myself considerably more challenged than when I play a modern XBox/PS2 game. I keep hearing the excuse that we need to make the games easy to target kids. Little kids aren't buying $60 games. Furthermore, when I was a kid, NES games were challenging, but that was a good thing. Can we please kick-start a revolution to stop dumbing down games and add a bit of complexity?

I think she hasn't heard of the mythical invention of shampoo.

Sadly, it's infinitely better than I can draw.

I agree. The base damage on a dual saber is better than a normal saber, and the short saber for your off hand does even less damage. Furthermore, with a secondary saber it wouldn't have your name crystal. A dual-saber with your two best crystals is better than the two saber approach.
