The newest iteration of hugely popular modding article, Hot Mods, Spanner Spencer this week looks at the best mods available for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
Spencer writes:
"Contemporary mythologies are a prime source of inspiration for modders – not least of them being Star Wars. So the theme of Jedi Academy immediately captured the community's attention. Jedi Academy uses the Quake III: Team Arena engine, so it does make you wonder why modders don't simply go straight to the Quake games if they're looking to create a new game that requires this engine's particular abilities. But Jedi Academy is a game that's built on modification itself, by the original developer, and that holds significant appeal."
Star Wars games have gone through a strong transformation over the years but one thing is clear. The ideal game has not yet come to fruition.
I really want a mix of Jedi Knight II and KOTOR. I think Jedi Knight 2 outcast is probably one of the best Star Wars games ever made and it's gameplay and story is just brilliant. Kotor added something we've never seen in a role playing game and I think a healthy Fusion a good game playing and a solid role-playing story would just explode.
The Old Republic is a great game, but it has one serious disadvantage: it’s only available for Windows computers. If you have a PC, that’s no problem, but what if you have a Mac? The selection of Star Wars games is a bit smaller, but it’s still out there. Here are 13 Star Wars games you can play on your Mac. If I’ve missed any good ones, be sure to let me know in the comments!
It's that time of the year again, fellow Force-users. Time to kick back, grab some Jamba Juice, and celebrate May the 4th with excellent Star Wars games.
Another great mod feature. Used to love Jedi Academy, may have to revisit it.
That's really cool! I can't wait for SC2 to arrive, and see what types of modding will come with the RTS game!
I loved Jedi Acadamy, it was just as good if not better than the whole Jedi Knight series! (Ok maybe not the story but the action!)
I will look into these!
Jedi games are FTW by default!
Fights from the movies? Wicked, must try that asap.
