I like how it is starting to go beyond virtual reality. Did I miss something? Has virtual reality come and gone without me knowing it? Or did they just decide to skip it all together and go beyond it? Maybe it is just me, but I have never seen a single advertisement for "Better than Life" or any thing like it. When you say "virtual reality" you wouldn't happen to be talking about my Virtual Boy would you? Because that was a bit of a joke (but you can't deny the beauty of the thing. It looks awesome and is a nice addition to my Nintendo System collection). I don't think it can be called virtual reality or even beyond virtual reality when you have to use a conventional controller as a user interface.

I agree with Nanner, I think it is lame they use Vader's apprentice. Does every Sith have an apprentice? I guess they all cheat on each other in the EU, Palps has his secret apprentice Mara Jade, Vader has his secret apprentice. That is why Jedi are better, they don't cheat on each other like that. Qui-gon got tired of teaching OBi-Wan, and when he found a new kid he liked better he flat out told Obi that they were through and that it was time to move on. I respect that in a Master.

Anybody remember Kyle Katarn? Of course you do because he is in every single Jedi Knight game, but I mean Kyle before he was Jedied. He was cool because they made a new character and made an SW game that held its own weight. You were part of the Star Wars Universe and you were not Luke, Han, or Leia for the first time. It made the SW Universe feel bigger. Remember X-Wing? Tie-Fighter? Same thing. Remember Rebel Assault? (Well, maybe I shouldn't go there, Rookie One was hardly a groundbreaking character). I liked how all the old Star Wars games had original characters, kind of made them stand on their own, now every game have to be main characters again (or closely related to one. The Vader's apprentice thing is almost as cheap and introducing Luke's long lost brother Duke to be a new character. I guess because the market shifted from loyal SW fans of the nineties to casual fans and people who liked the advertisements they paid $7+ bucks to see (called Episode II and III, you know what I am talking about) and decided to buy the game(s).
