There are plenty of sites that do reviews. You can find them on Amazon, Goodreads and Youtube. But so far as I know, none of them are focused on the continuity of the original Star Wars expanded universe. That is my aim, to judge it not only on whether I liked the story but how well did it fit with everything else. While each story may stand alone, there may be callbacks to other stories that you might enjoy reading, or stories following that used a simple throwaway element from that story for a whole new tale! I try and list those so you know where to look.

This game is still a blast decades after release. Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 graphics may be dated but they don’t diminish the challenge one bit, and they are a step up from the predecessor. This one did include more save options to it.…

Star Wars the Old Republic AKA SWTOR Base Game Review
This site is based on Star Wars expanded universe, and stories are my favorite thing. So naturally this is what I focus on in SWTOR. SWTOR itself is purely based on this universe. It combines all the best action, storytelling and humor just as…
