Jed Knight 2: Outcast is coming out soon and it looks as if it might break this trend of mediocre SW games...   (if this gets good reviews, I might pick it up as well, since the original JK was great)

On a side note, does anyone here happen to be like me and will never, ever buy pay-to-play games? (all of which, to make matters worse, are multiplayer only)

I'm with you on that one.  Although... Sony's hosting one MMPOG called "Infantry"  which I'm addicted to.

Jedi Knight II looks incredibly good, it looks like it has the same kind of highly polished tought that RTCW had, hopefully it'll be a worthy addition to the SW universe.

As far as SW space games go, I prefered XvsT to XWA, I'm not sure why - it's probably the fact that you could build up your pilots credentials more and do different missions as you liked as opposed to being forced into the story or made to use the (rather poor) simulator. If XsT had XWA graphics I'd still be playing it today.

I haven't really enjoyed any of the other SW games, they've got potential but they never seemed to work out right - and some of them were really very dire.

As far as Freelancer goes, I like the look of it but I don't much like the idea of the controls. However I'm confident that they'll add full ship piloting support in since everyone seems to be moaning about it. Still - time will tell!

Finally, as far as pay-per-play games go - I never intend to buy those. I don't understand where everyones supposed to get the money from to afford to pay for games like that, and the idea of weekly or monthly fees to play a game is totally wrong.
