Well, abroad anyway.

Yesterday, LucasArts announced that the Xbox version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic will be available in the USA and Canada by July 16th (that's this Wednesday). It's encouraging to see the game finished, but as each individual voice in the game is in the spoken word - it may take a while to translate into all European languages.

It was also mentioned that Xbox Live functions will be available by Winter; presumably, weapons and new quests will be up for grabs. In any respect, this is great news and means we'll most probably be seeing the game on their expected UK release - August/September.

As my most anticipated Xbox title, I really want this one now. You can read the full Press Release over at:

Yeah but OXM want to make love to Blinx the cat.

Probably will be good though...Star Wars, not the love making.

Official Xbox Magazine are awful. They hardly give anything a low mark - games like Blinx and Brute Force were rated ridiculously highly, whereas titles like Morrowind and Jedi Knight 2 received tragically low ratings.

I never listen to them.

I thought Blinx was okay, not exactly Mario, and sometimes annoying, but generally okay considering the lack of platforming action on the console.

OXM got Brute Force and Enter The Matrix disastrously wrong, but having said that both games sold by the bucket load hence some people must have agreed. As Edge often points out, reviews are nothing more than reviews, a person's informed opinion.

KOTOR is good, and thankfully I found out this morning that I've blagged a four day job in September at University as enrollment staff, 6.50 an hour, 4 days, 8 hours a day, should swell the gaming coffers nicely :)

Looks quite intresting does that.

I haven't found an Xbox magazine that I would actually call good. I think the closest I've found to that is Xbox Gamer, at least they've made me laugh a few times, but their reviewing methods could do with a bit of a kick in the nads.

Also they seem to think that the bad thing about Blinx is it's cutesy nature. It's a platform game, just because it has cartoon graphics does not mean it's a bad thing. Some people really need to get their heads out of their a$$es and realise not all the games are gonna be grittlily realistic, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

Not sure if I'll get this. I find Star Wars very grating in it's wholesome-ness. Still there's always the darkside...
