Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

$68.00 Est. at Amazon

from shopping.yahoo.com
don't listen to gamepro, they have a poor history of overrating and underating notable titles.
from www.amazon.com
as you progress you are also given a backround history on the game you are playing.
from www.amazon.com
the game breaks free of the binds of star wars and creates a whole new story with a new history, but in the same star wars universe we all know and love.
from www.amazon.com
one can't help but image governator(j/k) palpatine reading the scrolls of history and reading this, and putting together his plan of using an army of mandalorian clones to destroy and corrupt jedi
from www.amazon.com
bioware deserves credit for not making the events in the game feel too old or new.star wars fans will delight in the added history of lucas's far away galaxy.

NBA Street Vol. 2

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
compared to this game, all other bball games are as bad as the history channel if you catch my drift.

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

from www.amazon.com
i would not give it to kids under twelve, but don't let your kids not get it just because of the rating mature, its more of a history lesson than a game.
from www.amazon.com
if you are a history fanatic, as i am, you will appreciate the game's realism and sense of "being there".
from www.amazon.com
i am only commenting on this because the game is so well done as far as accuracy in graphics and history elements but falls short on realism in this department.
from www.amazon.com
things such as the history of 101st airborne (screaming eagles), a wwii 101st timeline of events, productions stills, character synopsis, plus much much more.

especially the yellow head building part, which is by far one of the greatest moments in video game history..
