| Knights of the Old Republic | LucasArts (Bioware) | 2003 | Con un combate de RPG por turnos y una vasta personalización, este juego brilla por una historia elaborada con unos personajes carismáticos. Además la opciones de desarrollo de tanto tu personaje como de sus compañeros, y la gran variedad de situaciones de combate, exploración y conversacionales lo convierten en una auténtica gema. Pena que tenga un final un tanto fijista. Sinceramente, el universo de la Antigua República supera en muchas cosas al clásico Imperio de las películas. 8 de 10***[b]Choose Your Path.[/b] It is four thousand years before the Galactic Empire and hundreds of Jedi Knights have fallen in battle against the ruthless Sith. You are the last hope of the Jedi Order. Can you master the awesome power of the Force on your quest to save the Republic? Or will you fall to the lure of the dark side? Hero or villain, saviour of conqueror... you alone will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy! * A brand new Star Wars role-playing experience with unique characters, creatures, vehicles and planets. * Learn to use the Force with over 40 different powers and build your own lightsaber. * Adventure through some of the mose popular Star Wars locations, including Tatooine and the Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk. * Choose your party from nine customisable characters, including Twi'leks, droids and Wookiees. * Travel to eight enormous worlds in your own starship, the Ebon Hawk.***2009-09-05 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa)***David Gaider, Drew Karpyshyn, Luke Kristjanson, and Peter Thomas won the 4th annual (2004) Game developers Choice Awards - Best Writing.

| Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords | LucasArts (Obsidian Entertainment) | 2005 | Five years after the events from the award winning Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic™, the Sith Lords have hunted the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin, the Republic’s only hope is a lone Jedi struggling to reconnect with the Force. As this Jedi, you will be faced with the galaxy’s most dire decision: Follow the light side or succumb to the dark... Key Features: Follow up to the acclaimed and original Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic™. Choose from three different classes of Jedi, each with access to specific Jedi abilities. Choose the light or the dark side of the Force as you progress through the story. The choices you make will affect your character, those in your party and those who may join you in your quest.***Empleando el sistema de la primera entrega, lo pule en todos los aspectos. Pero lo que especialmente le hace brillar es el elenco de personajes memorables, siendo Kreia y Mandalore dos de las mejores creaciones jamás habidas en el universo Star Wars. Y contando con el regreso de algunos de los mejores (como cierto robot con mucho cariño por lo orgánico) Si que peca de un final un tanto acelerado, pero con el mod de Restored Content (circula por la web en moddb.com) se arreglan esos pequeños errores. 9 de 10 | labelimagesubject |

| Mass Effect | Microsoft Game Studios (BioWare;Demiurge Studios) | 2008 | Mass Effect is a military science fiction media franchise created by Casey Hudson, Drew Karpyshyn and Preston Watamaniuk. The franchise depicts a distant future where humanity and several alien civilizations have colonized the known universe using technology left behind by advanced precursor civilizations.*** [100]*** [12]***Latest version: 1.02 (as of ?) Version history: * 1.01 (?)***Not as great as I expected, and the driving around in Mako is horrible most of the time as well as the final bit of the ending just makes me feel sickly. My recommendation is, if you want to enjoy this game, stick to the main story and avoid any side exploration/quests completely, and try to bear the last bit of the ending (the parts where humans talk). Replayability comes mostly from dialogs as otherwise the game gets quite dull, and unfortunately you need those dialogs to progress your renegade/paragon ranks to open the more interesting dialog choices since these are separate from your regular leveling and skills.***[b]Free expansions:[/b] * [url=http://masseffect.bioware.com/galacticcodex/bringdownthesky.html]Bring Down the Sky[/url] [b]Non-free expansions:[/b] * Pinnacle Station (2009-10)***Comes on 2 DVDs but I have no idea what the second DVD is supposed to be for (backup?).***[b]technomagic[/b] — the "biotics" used in the game do not really fit into any of the groups we have neatly, technomagic and psionics being the closest, but since the ME universe also has psychics, technomagic is all that there's left. [b]multiple endings[/b] — more like ending with variations; the core of it stays the same. [spoiler=Ending spoiler;Close spoiler]However, a notable difference is that if the alien council survived or not, depending on if you chose to save them. If you didn't, humanity will take charge, otherwise humanity is invited to take place as the fourth council race. Other, "more important", details stay the same regardless.[/spoiler] [b]special agent protagonist[/b] — player is appointed a job similar to this somewhat early in the game, so this isn't true from the start. [b]nationalism[/b] — the protagonist and his higher ups are constantly trying to drive the cause of the Human Alliance, it's importance and how you're part of it is constantly hammered at you and occasionally you get to do the same for others. [b]unlikely sentients[/b] — Rachni, Geth to some degree (in mythos puts them on par with rogue A.I.), the plant creature, and some others [b]dialog-keywords[/b] / [b]dialog-stance[/b] — some are full sentences but not actually what is said, generally these are only choices on what to discuss and [i]how[/i] to respond (aggressively or calm negotiator style)***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 2.4 GHz Intel or 2.0 GHz AMD CPU * 1 GB RAM (XP), 2 GB RAM (Vista) * GPU w/ Shader Model 3.0 * GeForce 6800 or ATI X1300 XT * 12 GB free HD space * 1X DVD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.6+ GHz Intel or 2.4+ GHz AMD CPU * 2 GB RAM * ATI X1800 XL or GeForce 7900 GTX or better***US 2008-05-27 EU 2008-06-05 | labelimagesubject |
