I’m really excited to play this as the summer of ‘95 for me was a mix of Dark Forces and the OJ trial. I don’t (and still don’t) think the original got enough love after everyone forgot about it once the sequels came out. I did have access to a computer that could handle Jedi Knight, but I was spending time and money…

As I do whenever a golden-age Star Wars game is brought forward to modern platforms, I’ll end up spending too much time mulling over how well — if at all — the controls for X-Wing and TIE Fighter would translate to a game pad.

Love everything about this. I hope this sells incredibly well. Seems like so much love was put into it. And if it does well maybe we’ll get ports of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight and it’s expansion, Mysteries of the Sith.

This is the only fake game I ever want to see in live-action form:

Feels like a pretty cynical way to look at things and a pretty big reach. I mean it’s obvious to anyone that “The Turning” is not just a random fighting game and very specifically meant to be alternate Mortal Kombat of some variety. So of course they would use it for real if they had the chance.

Mortal Kombat’s huge impact is far more likely to ignite some sort of emotional response from TV viewers than a fake game that is mentioned a couple times on a videogame they probably didn’t play.

What a cynical way to look at things, lol. It didn’t feel like an ad, and I think they enhanced the moment from the game by doing it this way. Plus, whether intentional or not, it’s fun to watch characters play a video game within a video game adaptation. Obviously it’s different, but in a way, it reminded me of when…

Mortal Kombat scene doesn’t feel like an Ad at all. For actual people who grew up going to arcades in the 90s and 00s its one of the most iconic games.

So it wouldn’t have been remotely the same game, as it wouldn’t have been Insomniac working on it. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been good, but it wouldn’t have been “this game, but on Xbox instead” because this wasn’t a matter of Insomniac getting the deal with Marvel and shopping it to publishers, it was Sony taking…

How old are you?

Anyone’s thoughts on Paintshop vs Afinity? I’ve been using Paintshop Pro this past year and its fine so far but I still miss Photoshop. I’m a decent artist but not really familiar with intricacies of what makes good software, if anyone can advise if I’m missing out on anything by using Paintshop?

I own the movies on Blu-Ray! And yeah, it was my DW fandom that prompted me to get it, haha. I agree that it’s really good, my partner and I really enjoyed watching the movies on night. I’ve got a soft spot for Asian cinema, so it resides next to other (mainly action) films from the region on my movie shelf.

Maximum Carnage is too low, Spider-Man 2 is too high, Web of Shadows is just right.

I kind of like the idea that Jin is actually just bad at Haiku...

Frankly, the whole list suffers from a modernity bias. No list of best shark games is complete without the Intellivision classic Shark! Shark!

This article was written well before Fallen Order released, and I would say my verdict is, that Dark Forces and Fallen Order are the TWO best SW games out there. I have loved DF for ages and awaited something, that could rival it - and I really think that Fallen Order does a great job. It has its shortcomings, but as…

Dirk the Daring! Stay put young chap!

Dirk the daring is simply one of the best-looking characters ever to appear in a video game. Just a master class in pleasing character design.
