Yet another MMO, but this one is set in the Star Wars universe. Because light sabres, yo.
Conclusion: Amateur night.
This would have been great in the late nineties. Right now, the voiceovers are fantastic but the quest interactive cutscenes are ugly. The choices are sometimes vague and unforgiving. There is spectacular effort with all the rendered videos, but that just took away from resources for the game itself.

A fine tactics game.

As the license was not renewed, the game had to shut down.

An MMORPG which I beta tested but didn’t play. In fact, I still have the shrink-wrapped box.

Steam: Disgaea 2 PC

Well, it’s got a sellout anime feeling to it. The graphics and sound are more cartoonish. A number of the annoyances of the first game have been hammered out, but there is a “toy” quality to the game which replaces the original gritty feeling of the original game.
My notes are for the PlayStation 2 version.

Cool, but has automatic camera angles and too much button mashing.
Too much oddness for me to deal with it. God of War 2 might be worth it though, but I dunno.

An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.
Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

After finding the shop, it’s quite nice. There are some remarkable differences between 1 and 2 .. 2 is not necessarily better.
Properly titled Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance II
