Sunday Afternoon ShackReviews

May 29, 2005 10:00 AM

After a brief hiatus, it's back! Updates to the ShackReviews database will now continue on the regularly scheduled programming. Since I was tied up with E3-related duties the past few weeks, I didn't get the chance to update, but since it was E3 week, not many games were released. With this update, we're all caught up, so start submitting your reviews and stating your opinions! As always, if there's a game you want in the database, see if it's already there and if not, request it!

Featured ShackReviews:

SixDemonBag suggests that everyone give Shenmue II (Xbox) a try; it's a classic.
Masem believes that Psychonauts (Xbox) does a great job of ending the platformer drought.

So what have I been playing the past three weeks? The sad part is.. not much. You'd think that at E3, I would have tried dozens and dozens of games, but alas, that's not how it works for press. Instead, we watch developers play their games. Upon returning home and watching Revenge of the Sith, my focus has been on Star Wars games. I'm currently in the middle of three of 'em: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and the game adaptation of Revenge of the Sith. I plan to give KOTOR2 a second chance, but it may be a while. I've been trying to track down Jedi Academy for the PC, but I think that's long gone from retail. =(

thank god. That game was about as good as a subpar fan made starwars mod. Ugh. You got lucky by missing out on it.

  No way I actually quite liked it. It's the latest one isn't it?

  what?! Play it on hard. Lightsaber fights took 5-10 minutes against bosses. It was awesome
