Games reviewed… eventually
If there’s two things that is probably abundantly clear by now that I adore (if not, they ought to be, after 6 years of this waffling), it’s LEGO and Star Wars. Like many kids I played extensively with Denmark’s greatest gift to the world, endlessly building humongous mish-mashed creations from whatever sets I had lying … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
Given my less than stellar reaction to the first The Force Unleashed, you might question why on earth I opted to play the sequel. There’s having an open mind, of course, but The Force Unleashed II has a worse reputation than the first game, so what can be gained from playing it? Well, while The … Continue reading The Force Unleashed II
Sometimes the sentiment attached to certain games truly baffles me. Obviously we all have our own individual opinions and that’s ok, and there’s very little one can say objectively about games when we recount and review our experiences with a given game. And yet, occasionally you get a game in front of you that you … Continue reading The Force Unleashed
I don’t know about you, but I love a good Star Wars game. For a franchise as vast and all-encompassing as Star Wars, it’s inevitable that there are an awful lot of games, and an awful lot of them are a bit naff. That means though, that when a good one comes along, often they’re … Continue reading Star Wars: Republic Commando
Two questions are probably shooting through your mind as you look at this review. First: what on earth is this random Game Boy game being reviewed here, and two: why did I choose to put the effort and time into playing and reviewing it? Star Wars: Episode I - Obi Wan’s Adventures (GBC) Released Nov … Continue reading Star Wars: Episode I – Obi Wan’s Adventures
We all know what LEGO is, yeah? Of course we do; the tiny plastic blocks you can slap together and build anything you want are ubiquitous and it’s no surprise at all that they’ve made their way into the land of video games. In fact, it’s almost certainly cheaper to play the LEGO games than … Continue reading LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Given I am a massive nerd, it should come as no surprise that I am a sucker for a Star Wars game. George Lucas’ space-opera was one of the defining loves of my childhood, and so I eagerly consumed any vaguely Star Wars-themed media I could get my hands on. Games were of course no … Continue reading Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy
My love of the original Knights of the Old Republic is already documented. Bioware’s planet-hopping Star Wars RPG is a brilliant experience; not only is it a solidly enjoyable CRPG in the vein of Bioware and Black Isle classics, but it is backed up by cracking writing and a marvellous understanding of what makes Star … Continue reading Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
If there's one thing I've taken from this current Disney era of Star Wars, it's the nostalgia. It's an inherent aspect of the new Star Wars films - The Force Awakens leaned on it like a crutch, too afraid to experiment or divert in anything other than small, unsatisfying ways, Rogue One was drenched in it thanks to its … Continue reading Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
