Well, three impressive PC games have been added to the selection.

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

I am wondering what the best is to buy. I am soon going to get a high speed internet connection (256k or faster), so I am wondering what the best is to buy of the three.

Thanks, [email protected]

KoTOR, I'd say.
Jedi Academy's good too though, it would depend on if you'd prefer to play an RPG or a Lightsaber 'Em Up.
Never played Galaxies, is that a pay per month thing?

Empire divided. Costs more but well worth it, buy it if you have money.

KOTOR, because it's genius.

Then Galaxies if you have cash.

Unfortunate that Galaxies is completely awful.
KOTOR

Galaxies was great a few months ago, I couldn't get enough of it, and then I started to get bored.

The constant updates meant to fix problems actually added to them, getting to the higher trades meant spending hours grinding away at experience points and I don't know who at Sony online thought it was a good idea to have speederbikes and landspeeders take on damage every time you drove them, it's bad enough you have to shell out on expensive user created items, but to constantly spend money repairing your bike was a drain.

It's got good potential, but I wouldn't recommend it right this minute, best wait and see if it gets any better.

Otherwise I'd recommend either of the other two Star Wars games. Not played KOTOR myself, but hear enough good reviews to know it should be at the top of your list, haven't played Jedi Academy either though it doesn't seem to dissimilar to Jedi outcast. A fair single player game, though if you want Online Star Wars that should suffice.

Yeah, get KoTOR, you won't regret it. It has a few faults but it is a very good game.
Academy was better than outcast, IMO, Outast took too long to give you your lightsabre, that annoyed me, but with Academy you have it right from the start. There were more lightsabre duals too and they were great, especially on little walkways over lava. Great fun.

I have an idea get, Jedi Academy AND kotor both have been out for a while now and you can probably get them both cheap on e-bay. I have played and completed both games and I think both are great. KOTOR is great if you want to feel something emotional as you play and Jedi Acedemy is great if you wanna slice people up in real time with a light saber.

p.s. If you get jedi academy download a dismemberment mod.. watching storm trooper heads getting loped off is real treat lol.
