Looks to be another RTS attempt by Lucas Arts. I haven't heard a lot about it, just happend upon this review of the game. It's due to be released tomorrow. Just thought I'd share this with the rest of you.

I played the demo and was mighty impressed. Not only is it "classic" star-wars
Universe, but you can actively manage space and land units dynamically as well as caputure planets, which gives you a nice logistical advantage.
Most Star-wars games turn out to be total shite (Jedi Knight excluded), so its good to see a game with classic roots and alot of polish.

qqqq im shocked you could refer to another rts abomination as we all know StarCraft/Warcraft3 = the best

speaking of which, is IN still alive? I popped into #kali in irc and saw darkcronox and guruchild with IN tags on. lol or are they wannabe's?

Remember the good old days of Katan's Lair and Imports? \"/

Where's Jedi Knight IV damnit

I still play Jedi Academy now and then...

[Rekuul']

I think Nurfed should have a giant Jedi Academy throwdown.

[keboman]

Jedi Academy + dismemberment mod is one of the most fun games of all time.

The jedi vs. jedi combat is pretty broken unfortunatly.

Jedi Knight is incredibly fun, even with people raping the knockdown/reverse insta kill hehe

Q, bought it the day it came out. It's not bad, but really not great either. It's not a classical RTS as you only place buildings at specified 'build points'. These build points are key, as you would assume.

I've actually seen this game before, I forget the name but I know I bought it at one time. They tried to make a Star Wars 'Romance of the Three Kingdons' genre type of game. It wasn't good (big shocker for anything with the Star Wars tag on it) and quickly faded from my radar.

I do like the mix of Stategy/RTS involved, but I think its a tad too simplistic.

Like any other Star Wars title, it's a Britany Spears game, all looks, no content.

Well FFAs melees are kinda just, get the saber staff and spam the butterfly pretty much, but duels and single sabers are still tons of fun. Plus it looks so cool.

*Looks for Jedi Knight CD*

KOTOR1/2 were great, but they were Bioware games.

Yeah the last 1/3 of KOTOR2 went to hell but it was still really good despite everything. Lucasarts killed production on KOTOR3 a while ago and fired everyone, I dunno if they'll restart it again.

[Skunkworks]

Jade Empire is quality as well, definetly worth a shot if your craving a SP RPG. Pretty much Kung-Fu KOTOR.

[big_boi]

i liked kotor too :oops:

I've tried just about every RTS Game since Starcraft and nothing has compared, but I keep hoping.

Most of the orginal IN Members has moved on or into differnt games/guilds. Don't know who those two are, but they may have been new recruits by other IN Members keeping the guild alive. I just keep my tag cause I've had it since I got on the Internet.

Yea I remeber the Imports =P

Sup Chris, so you already bought the game?
I'm just looking for a good RTS game till Starcraft 2 comes out =)

Guruchild is a big pot smokin hippy that runs a sex site lol. Not quite IN material ^^.

Have you kept in contact with Gaygent911?

[Sypher]

guruchild was a bitch..

incin is my bitch tho 8)

war2 ftw :P

Been thinking of getting a 360 just to play Jade Empire :( (and Mass Effect).

[keboman]

Meh, just wait for Elderscrolls Oblivion. I have high hopes myself ;)

[Theldon]

I remember seeing Kinnear on the Nurfed roster when WoW was just released, is he still with you?

[Balroc]

The space battles are awesome, ground battles arent the same calibre though for some reason.

yeah, i got it, it wont pull you away from anything, might be a "steal it from a friend" title.

[eggrollking]

I played the demo, it was pretty fun for a bit but I can see this game getting shelved fast unless you're some starwars fag.

Mass Effect looks pretty amazing indeed. Im starting to trust Bioware, seem to have a relatively good formula for making RPG's; albeit a little too structured but I'm anticipating a good one. Time will tell. Oblivion also looks to be worth a good 60 hours of my time.
