Ok, My Birthday is coming up, and 1. You aren't invinted :down: 2. I need help choosing 3 games for my birthday.

1. The Sims 2 Nightlife
2. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
3. Rise of Nations or Homeworld 2? (I have a PowerMac G4 so no Rise of legends)

Homeworld 2 for my money... I'd also avoid Jedi Academy like the plague.

Souless, boring, evil piece of Raven built software.

Eugh.

Okay there are millions of worse games out there but it really is an average game.

And guys don't say a game is 'addicting'. That is a horrible massacre of the English language. The word is 'addictive'. Thank you. :)

Still, The Jedi Knight/Dark Forces series has been the best Star Wars FPS out there.

Nothing to do with the engine... the engine used was fine though not astounding. The game simply sucks.

Jedi Knight was the last good Dark Forces game released.

Outcast was banal and Academy even more so.

Hitmat series (Hitman Blood Money is the latest) or Theif series (Theif 3 is the latest) .... Oh wait, nvm ... You are probably not old enough to play those games. Maybe you can still play Theif series.

Also, I'd choose Homeworld 2 over Rise of Nations....there's a very sweet mod available for it, even if it'll probably never be completed. Seems like you're a bit of a Star Wars fan, anyway.

We may disagree on the relative merits of Outcast versus Academy but we can certainly agree on this.

It's a damn damn shame.
