Star Wars KOTOR now on iPad.

Well, a gift to the series' most devoted fans who also own an iPad — the rest of them may have just been gifted with the desperate urge to give Apple several hundred dollars. It may not coerce many of the mouse and keyboard Jedi, currently enjoying the similarly low price of $9.99 for the Steam version of Knights of the Old Republic, but for me there may be no going back. I've tried to really get into the game since my initial play-throughs way back in 2003 on the original Xbox, but I've not felt that original compulsion until I could hold the game in my hands, navigating Sara "Randomly Generated" Starcrod and friends with a flick of my fingers. This is the full version of the original game. The only tweaks made were with the controls, because touchscreen. The graphics might look a bit sharper, but that's just because older games always look better on a smaller screen. It's an illusion I gladly accept. This is BioWare at its best, or at least its best in the early 2000's. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a feast of compelling characters, heavy moral decisions that make a real impact, and the old emotional engagement. While the visuals and animations aren't all that impressive in the face of ten years of progress, the voice acting and story is just as amazing as it was when the game still had that wonderful freshly-opened game case scent.[/quote] Eh, I didn't really like KOTOR that much. I'd get it if I had an iPad though.
