Top 10: worst movies

These are movies I had high hopes for or just can't even make it through. The theater has let us down at one time or another and its these movies where we are screaming for our money back. Please comment any of your worst movies!

10.Dune (RT 56%)

I just finished the book and wow what mind blowing piece of literature. I can't wait to read the next book. As for the movie?? Ehhh its a mess. Its impossible to cram this book into 2 hours. It has to be 3 hours or two parts. The acting is not great and the Baron is totally weird. Like disgusting. Hes a evil asshole in the book but not gross. And whats with the rain at the end? There was a 3 hour version that just hit the net with all the parts they cut from the movie which helps a lot! But it has since be removed..... If HBO ever gave this thing a Game of Thrones treatment..MY GOD.

9.Mission to Mars(RT 25%)
As a pre teen the trailer had me pumped. I have always been into Mars and I thought it looked awesome. I knew I was in trouble when it came back with a PG rating. The terrible Alien at the end.....ehhhhhhhhh.

8.Any Spiderman Movie (RT 89%  93%  63%)
I don't get it. I never got it at the time. People went banana's for the first Spiderman and I didn't understand why. 2nd one came out and again people loved it. I hated it. People called me nuts. I like me some Sam Rami too but its garbage. Then the 3rd..... a Dance scene? What the hell is going on? It grossed WHAAAAT? It pretty much assured me that people will like anything no matter how terrible it is. I will admit that I don't really like Marvel or SpiderMan but it can be done better then the last two tries. I hear they are going for a 3rd reboot. Good luck.

7.The Happening(RT 17%)
I didn't even want to see this since I hadn't liked M night since Signs but the wife pushed me into the theater. We laughed the whole way through. The over acting and Mark Wahlberg staring at the camera asking "IT CAN'T BE THE WIND CAN IT?" RUN FROM THE WIND! Is that even possible? We wanted to leave but we were laughing so we stayed.

6.Ghost Rider (RT 26%)
It was February, we wanted to go out. We chose this for reasons unknown to me. We left a hour in and I haven't seen it since. Was their a sequel? Not worthy enough for my google search bar.

5.Mortal Kombat Annihilation(RT 3%)
I was a huge MK fan and after the first movie which at the time as "ok"(not now) I was hoping to see more of my favorite characters. Well that is what we got and what a mess. MK characters would just randomly drop out of the sky(literately) and FIGHT! The acting was terrible, special effects were laughable and the script was pure shit. I'm surprised it this saw the light of day. FINISH..H...TURN IT OFF!

4.Indiana Jones...4 (RT 78%)
Such a huge disappointment. It was fun seeing Ford back on the screen as Indie but Lucas can't get out of his own way. I enjoyed the first 30 mins ans then it just goes south with insane situations. Ok you can blow up and survied in a fridge... But when you swing with monkeys and catch back up to the car...THAT WHERE I DRAW THE LINE. Also the plot as a whole just was boring. UFO crap? Ugh.. I'll watch any of the 3 anytime but I refuse to watch this junk.

3.Star Wars Episode II (RT 67%)
Episode I was boring but the last 15 mins saved it from being on this list. This one is just a snoozer all the way. The last light Saber fight with Yoda,Skywalker and the Count had the crowd laughing(at least in my theater). There was nothing cool about this Star Wars, cheese acting and zero on screen chemistry from the Skywalker and Padme. Lucas again just botched this thing. I again will watch all of them besides this thing. Unless I am trying to fall a sleep.

2.Batman and Robin (RT 11%)
This movie turned me off from Batman anything for 8 years! I was totally done with it. I even blew off Begins until word started to fly that it was really good. This thing is just bloated bright and ugly.. With terrible casting and lines. It goes full cheese and fails. Batman 1966 has its place and its fits there. This thing was so bad the people involved have apologized for making it. I remember leaving the theater with my cousin and was both said "were done with Batman". That is hard to do to a 15 year old who loves Batman. This movie pulled it off.

1.Super Mario Bros(RT 16%)
Ok when the posters started showing up at the theater and word spread via news papers and magazines that there was going to be a SMB movie I flipped my lid. I day dreamed about seeing a real life Bowser. The castle, maybe his kids from SMB3? The possibilities seemed endless. What did we get? A human Bowser, parallel universes, Jurassic Park Yoshi, The Dinosaur song, a king who is a elastic goo.... Yes that sounds just like SMB.

Looks like a Goomba right?
I remember leaving the theater and even mom was like "what did we just watch?" I couldn't answer her. It was just awful and to this day I can't sit through it. You had the licence and you blew 40 mil. It grossed 20 mil... It sorta reminds me of what they did with He-man as in they had to some how have it based on on earth and why? Why? You had 40 million! Don't watch it!

SD80K turns one!

Wow one year! Its been fun remembering and sharing things I enjoy and love with my 93 twitter followers and the 10 people who have visited the blog. I know I don't write in a ton of depth and it isn't a clear or well done but thanks to those who enjoy it and read it. A special thanks to the Sewer Den for leaving a few comments. I want to thank the two blog sponsors 8bitfetish and modifimyshop.com for providing great posters and products for me to review. Here is to another great year!

Hoooo! Its Cosmocats... err I mean Thundercat Art!I

A while back I drew the sword of Omens at work. While it isn't perfect(or striaght, hey I'm not a artist) it did come out better than I expected. I let it sit in my closet for about a year not knowing what to do with it or if I should do anything with it.

Brings us to today, I was hanging this old crappy Euro Thundercats or CosmoCats! I thought, this isn't worth Jaga's dick. I should just use it as a back drop for my sword. I then started to clip away! I came away with this!
 I'm pretty excited about this. Came out great. It did take some patience but it paid off. My free handed Sword of Omens pops right off the comics. I like this so much I think I am going to pull this off with my four 1st print issues of the Dark Knight Returns. I have a pretty beat up trade book I can cut up. Just finding the right frame will be the tricky part. I'll post if it comes out well.

Summer Popcorn RMT: Terminator Genisys

After the first few reviews hit(RT 27%) my hopes were lowered so I just went to see Arnold. I felt he was pretty decent and I don't know if its better than 3 or salvation since I haven't watched them in a long time. I just stick to the fact that Cameron's T2(the best action movie ever IMO) tied up everything really tight and the last 3 are just for good old feelings or fun or farce. You can never top the pure awesomeness and greatness of T1 and T2. On to the random thoughts!

Might be spoilers 

-As soon as the machine grabbed Conner as Reese was time traveling, that is when Biff stole the time machine.

-Some people say this movie shits on Cameron's since the alternate time stuff but when time travel is a thing.. It gives you a licence to fuck with things.

-I thought Clarke made a good Sarah but not as intense as Hamilton/

-Courtney was terrible. He had zero on screen presence and no chemistry with Clarke as Reese.

-Jason Clarke was ok as John Conner, thought letting the cat out of the bag that he was a Terminator in the trailer was a mistake. No surprises.
-They keep killing any potential of the franchise with this PG-13 crap. Its meant to be R. Arnold's face should have been ripped up big time after some crashes but was clean most the movie. Not much carnage at all. A few T1000 stabs was about it. I would say Jurassic Park was closer to a R rating.

-The action isnt much to talk about. Can't hold a candle to T2. A movie from 1991...

-I will always say special effects cheapen a movie and gives less to its weight. Its the case here.

-John Conner gets stuck to a MRI machine and we have no clue how he gets off it. Arnold turns into a t1000 in the end and have no idea how he came back on or anything.

-A few funny moments with Arnold. Nothing feels organic. Just forced but some what funny.
-Nice machine fights scenes, lots of walls took damage, Even a pop machine was a victim.

-They built a time machine in 1984....So..there is that.

-The Dragon Princess is pretty hot.

-They could have expended more on this Skynet AI who always has been in charge. Didn't give us a lot.

-Seeing young Arnold was great, made me just want to watch T1 instead.

These movies prove that James Cameron is a genius. Without his direction you have no shot. People give the performances of a life time in T1 and T2. Edward Furlong of all people is amazing in T2. Cameron just brings the best out of his talent. I just feel the acting and even Arnold struggle to be even ok. Its like they are doing impressions of these characters now and not being them. It doesn't help that Courtney kills about any scene he is in. I just never felt connected to any of the characters or cared like I did in T2 when the T-800 is lowered into the lava. I was moved than cause the acting,directing, music and everything was at such a high level. The chemistry was there. It just isn't here in this one or the past two. The first two are the real Terminator movies and the last three are just pretenders doing their best impression.

I give it 4 Edward Furlongs out of 10

COOL Crap: Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi

I've always hated my cable provider. I just feel like I have little options and little power and have to pay out the butt for anything I really would want. I've been with Direct TV(which hasn't been as bad as Charter) for the last 2 years and I'm happy to say I'm ready to cancel.

I started hearing some rumblings at work about the Amazon fire stick and how this media program could give you live tv,movie channels,PPV.. Basically everything. Now I was pretty skeptical and stubborn since I a huge sucker for my HD sports. How good was the quality? Can I really watch good looking live TV with little to no hiccups? As for getting the Fire Stick to do this I would need to side load the Kodi program and all its "add-ons". After reading and watching some videos about it I was pretty sure I could do but I just didn't have the time with two kids ect ect. So I went to Ebay where Sellers are in fierce competition to sell these TV wonder sticks.

I found a great seller Derek, or modifi.myshopifycom on ebay. I sent some questions out to many sellers looking for the best seller who knew what they were selling and talking about. Derek came back with the quickest and most info about my questions. I highly recommend him when buying a fire stick since I know he will take care of you and does have 100% feedback. He also puts the Kodi launch app right on the home screen so you can jump right into it, not all sellers do this. It can be hard to know which one to buy since there are so many sellers. Go to Derek, he even sends easy to follow paper instructions. Check out his auction here! and his website here!
I got my stick in about 2 days and plugged it up. Everything was going great until I tried to stream live tv which would go for a few seconds then buffers FOREVER! I couldn't get any of the movie to load either. Whats the deal? So I tested my internet speeds and found them to be terrible. I was getting anywhere from 14 mbps to 28 mbps. I pay for 60 mbps! So I called up Charter and they recommend that I try a direct line to my computer than test the speed. Sure enough 60 mbps came blasting through. So my router was pretty old... and was choking my internet. I went out and bought the Netgear R6100 This router got me up to speed and it broadcast at 5hz which the stick can pick up and is easily faster then the standard 2.4hz. Once my stick was connected to its new network(footLAN......) everything was as smooth as butter. Live TV had no problems, movie loaded up at decent speeds. No buffering at all to date!

The Stick
It plugs and plays pretty much from the get go. You don't even have to have a Amazon account since Derek does all that before he ships it out. You can add your account if you want. There is some processing and waiting at times when you select things. You get the dreaded "waiting" spinner which if it goes on for a while it means the content isn't going to load. It got hung up on me a few times and has crashed once but you have to remember it is  a stick and ram can only do so much. Its amazing it holds and does what it does with such limited ram. In no way a deal killer. Not even close. Now I can't comment on how the Amazon box works which has more processing power but it will cost you a bit more. I can deal with a few moments of waiting. If the content is there to load(which is most the time) it boots right up in great speeds.

LIVE TV
Espn, NLF network, NBA TV, Comedy Central ,E and a bunch of crazy channels I have never even heard of work most the time on IPTV Stalker(its a live tv add-on). There will be times when they just flat out won't load. Not sure the reason behind it but this isn't the case most the time and there are so many other add-ons with live tv like Navi-x or Sports dog that even if they are down in one add-on you can jump over to another and try those which will work. For the price of the stick this doesn't bother me but it might bothers some.

Most the time the quality is pretty close to HD if not HD but at times it can drop a bit. I watched the NBA finals and it was dropping a bit and that could be do to high volume traffic but I did jump around and find a pretty good stream. Once and while you might go to a stream that might be in Spanish or something like that.  Did this when I was looking for CN for my son but again, you just go to the next CN stream until you find what you want.
You can also watch HBO,Showtime and all those channels but I really don't see the point if you can just watch things on demand or search for any movie you want.

With Live TV you just have to be willing to look around if the first option doesn't work. You'll get what you want but like I said that isn't the case most the time. It works pretty well. There is also a add-on for local stations but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Movies
This where the KODI program really shines. Derek has it settings so the "movies" tab will take you right to the "Genesis add-on" which I think so far is the best movie add-on. Navi-X is good too just not as user friendly. Genesis will have all the newest movies or the most popular movies that you can watch right as soon as you hit the movies tab. You can also search for whatever. I wanted to watch "Castaway" for some odd reason and and it came right up and watched it with no issues. Newer movies are always in HD and older movies can be DVD quality. When you chose a movie a list of links load with the movie you chose. More than not the first one will work, if not just go to the next and one will work. Or you can hit "auto play" which will play the first working link. I never use it since the first one works 99% of the time.
There is a kids zone tab where its just kids movies which my son loves. They even have kid tv shows. They have all the DUCK TALES FERGODSAKE! Lots of great kids content. Again most work, most the time but there is so much stuff the kids has option ABCDEFGHI...ect ect.

TV on demand
Again, just a amazing thing. I can watch Game of Thrones, True Detective... Orange is the new Black... Anything on TV really, you can watch on demand. It won't take more then a day or so after the latest episode for it to show up to view.

I even found out I can watch TMNT 2K3, Thundercats, Real Ghostbusters, Knight Rider, Batman ......M.A.S.K... Its all there! Tracking down 2k3 turtles is very pricey. Now they are all at my finger tips. Same with Thundercats. Its all here for me to watch whenever. My 8 year old self would have crapped its pants.

So buy it??
Oh.My.God.Yes... If you are looking to be a cord cutter but the other options never seemed good enough to do it? This is the stick that will have you pulling the trigger. Once you learn the ins and out and play with it a bit you will feel right at home and you can't believe you paid a thousand dollars a year for cable. Is it going to match the live HD you get with cable? No, but it isn't far off. Some times the stream is so good it does look like I'm watching my Direct TV.

Even as a pure movie watcher and say you just need it for that its worth it. It has more than Netflix. For the one time fee its more then worth it. Buy it and hope to god Amazon never patches it which I hear might not matter anyway. Kodi has been running on the stick for over a year so things are pretty promising going forward. If you have more question contact Derek at his Ebay store.

-Go for 5hz signal router if you do buy a new one.
-Use Genesis and save your favs to the save folder.
-Things will go down from time to time for maintenance.

I want to thank Derek again for the great deal on the stick and and all the help when I had questions. Make sure to swing by his Ebay store.

Summer Popcorn RMT: Jurassic World


Jurassic World(RT 71%)

Well I'll say this right off the bat. It's the 2nd best JP easily. The first one will just always have a special place in my heart. I really liked the pace of the movie as it started out slow and then started to thump along to end at a fast and furious finish. If you liked the first you will for sure enjoy this one as it gives you the same sense of hopelessness and having no power over these animals.

Might be some Spoilers 

-Of course there are kids in this, its like a JP movie rule I guess.

-Loved the nods all over the movie to the original JP. They are everywhere! Some in you're face and some in the background.

-It looks like a real park. If this was a real thing, that is what it would look like.

-The comedy relief guy in the control room was pretty funny. Loved the t-shirt joke.

-I hated the Claire character. I know we are suppose to not like her but she was so annoying, I just wished she wasn't there. Her haircut drove me nuts and shes on her cell phone 90% of the movie.

-Pratt was decent, I didn't feel like we really got to know his character. He was just there to solve the problems and was the only one that had any sense most the time.
-Lots of death in this one. The highest body count of any JP. I enjoyed that part as they wiped one person out after another. The only downside is I can't take my son to it.

-They made great use of  giant fish dinosaur.. thing.

-Some things were just ridiculous. Pratt riding along with Raptors. The Raptors pulling a Hollywood Hogan Heel turn and then going baby face back to the Yellow and Red Hulk Hogan. The Hoskins character in general was ridiculous, "This is happening with or without you!" Hey do you know any other man on planet Earth that can whisper to Raptors? I think you need him.

-Getting to see lots of cool park attractions.

-The kids wondering into the old park which was overgrown was great. That stuff excites me for whatever reason. Wish they could have been there longer.
-The last battle with the T-Rex and D-Rex was pretty awesome. The way D-Rex went was great too. Pure summer glee.

-Wished they would use a real Dino instead of this genetic freak D-Rex. Hell, use Spinosaurus again for all I care.

Jurassic World turned out a lot better then I thought it would be. It does have ridiculous parts but then again Dinos are alive in this world too. Go take a visit to the park, its the best one since the first.

I give it 7 long necks out of 10.

Top 10:Childhood TV Intros

Intros are what get you pumped. As a kid when these intros hit I was going crazy. Ready to jump into whatever world I was going to enter. I don't think today's intros are even in the same league as these. Hell some don't even bother with one. To me this is the best of the best. First lets check out what just missed the cut.

Pro Stars-Michael Jordan, BoJackson and The great one all team up. Great theme song.
Mario Bro 3- SMB3 now a Cartoon? sign me up.
Jem-I didn't watch this............every morning before school.
Cops-Very Raw intro, pretty good.
Sliver Hawks-Just missed the cut. Would be 11th. Lots of awesome rock.

10.American Gladators

It was always very late on a Saturday night. Around Midnight. My dad and I would watch the news and then some other crappy show(can't remember) and then bam! The intro of all these steroided freaks being introduced so they could go on to beat the crap out of the common man. My dad and I would bet dimes on the competitors... Ahh gambling with you're father over AG, heart touching memories.

9.X-Men

I had to run the whole way from the bus stop to make this intro. I always did too. I didn't want to miss the drama with the Phoenix Saga or if Logan was going score with Jean. I intro blasts you in the face with a catchy tune and all the x-men.

8.M.A.S.K

This Intro is very 80s. Reminds me of the soundtrack for the Transformers movie from around the same time. This is pure rock and its awesome. The show I felt was not as good as the toys. Loved the toys... The Show was alright.

7.Ducktales

Talk about catchy.. This thing used to get stuck in my head for what it felt like the whole episode. The show was great too.

6.Pee-Wee Playhouse

If you weren't awake yet on Saturday when this came on than you were after this intro. Talk about high energy. I loved the claymation that it starts out with. Pretty decent length as well.

5.Batman the Animated Series

There isn't many things that hit the tone and style of Batman on the head like the show and intro did in BTAS. I used to get so pumped when the Batmobile is rolling. Just an outstanding and dark intro that sets the tone for the show. I could easily do a top 10 BTAS episode list.

4.The Real Ghostbusters

It was hard putting this at 4 since I would go banana's when this came on. It was the number one show I look forward to for some time. The intro is great, we get Stay Puff, Ecto and everything with a a Ghostbuster theme that rivals the movies. They did change it up in season 3 or 4 when the show started to go south. The change was for the worse, along with song.

3.TMNT

Man this intro just kicks your ass. Not to mention how catchy it is. I remember it getting stuck in my head all day. Seemed like every kid at school was humming it too. The intro is a bit dark which is great and the way the show started but as season 3 came it seemed to get lighter.

2.Knight Rider

One man and one car driving through a desert is all I needed to get me hyped for Knight Rider. Not to mention one of the best 80s theme songs... Might be the best. Its my ringtone and listen to it on my phone as a MP3. Non fans know it. Match the theme song with some great shots from show and car flying in the desert and you had me sucked in. The voice over is perfect as well.

1.Thundercats

This was easily number 1. The "Thunder..Thunder... THUNDERCATS HO! Would have me running to grab my sword of omens to follow along in the action. Its such a action packed intro that it sucks you right in. Animation is outstanding and seeing things like the Thundertank ripping through the screen locks you into the show. For whatever reason I also loved the shiny logo at the end too. Just perfect.

RMT:ThunderCats Ho! The Movie


-This movie is more about the new characters then Liono and his gang, which is bold considering the kids want the Lord of the Thundercats.

-They do a great job of packing in a ton of villains and other characters. It could be a mess but the pace is so fast and goes well within the story it works. They show everything 3rd Earth has to offer.

-Cheetara calls Lion-o "impetuous".. I'm sure the kiddos got that one.

-Lion-o looks like a smurf when Snowman finds him.

-They introduce a ton of new vehicles and toys here.

-Marketing was strong for a new toy line for the shelves.

-The Fistpounder was awesome toy. Loved it. Huge too.

-Cliff Hanger freeze frames. Must have been for the VHS release.
-Story telling is never a problem for Thundercats. Same with it here. We get more back story which dives us deeper into the universe that is Thundercats.

-I would love to know the official count on how many times Lion-o lost the Sword of Omens in the shows history.

-Action is non stop. The story telling still finds a way to be amazing.

-Thundertank vs Fistpounder!

-Lynx-o is very Jaga or Yoda. Like his blind angle.

-Lion-o throwing Mum-Mutt like a baseball is hilarious. Only thing that could have topped it was if he punted him, then Mumm-ra freaks out on the mutants about losing his dog.

-"hair caught"... lol

-I like how they call them Thundera Country Men.

-Panthro must be one bad mammer jammer, lives through the Thundertank laying on him.

-The ending was sorta like Guardians of the Galaxy. Mumm-ra just couldn't handle the power.

-Great moment when Lion-O makes the three new comers Thundercats.

God I wish I could see this in HD. It will never happen but man... How awesome. There is lots of reds so the poor quality can takes it tole on the eyes. Pretty odd how they took the first 5 episodes of season two and just boxed it into a VHS and called it a Thundercats Movie. Its the closet thing we got to one so I'll take it. I do think its very good. Non -stop action with good story telling. Not to mention you get a ton of characters.

8bitfetish:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Back with the latest poster from 8bitfetish. I was going to go with The Legend of Zelda but changed my mind and decided to finish off the Turtle wall with the Original NES game. Now I know there is the Manhattan project but I never got into that one since the SNES had hit the scene at that point. I still think the cover art is great but I just don't connect with it.
Of course the poster is of 8bitfetish high quality with dark blacks and popping greens. It looks stunning next to the other two posters. I am glad I went this route. The cover of this game confused me as a kid cause they all had red. Instead of the blue,orange and purple. At that point I had no idea that the Turtles was even a comic. I just thought it was some mistake. I remember talking about the the cover art at the lunch table and asking friends if they noticed the mistake.

After reading the comics now, it came to light that this cover art came straight from TMNT issue 4.
Must be when they were coming up with ideas for covers some guy at the table said "Hey why don't we just rip a cover from one of the comics? Cheap and saves time!" I do love the cover art since its a intense battle and its just edging like the turtles should be but I do think it loses a few points for just ripping issue 4. Since Turtles was blowing up I am sure the game was pushed asap and that had something to do with it. In fact I would say more people identify this cover with the game more then the comic. 
The game its self.... One of the most frustrating things you will ever pop into you're NES. This game was the first game I ever rented, I remember still loving it even though the game kicked my ass for hours. I even got it got Christmas.. See:
Now I could be frustrated everyday. Santa brought me the greatest Mario ever and coal basically. I will say I did play it like crazy despite how hard it was. It was the first turtle game and I didn't care how hard it was or that it was nothing like the show(you don't remember chain saw guy?) . I wanted to see Shredder so bad but it never happened. I could only reach the part where you drive the Turtle van around. I was dead meat after that. The game just throws a shit ton of bad guys at you with impossible platforming. That is why arcade(part 2) was such a big hit. It was like the cartoon and beatable. I still think its fun to play and revisit. But I can't take much of it. I like the cover art a lot more than the game. I want to thank 8bitfetish again for sending their amazing posters and if you are interested in buying this TMNT one you can find it here for $11.99 with fast and free S&H.

Top 10: Star Wars Video Games

Star Wars has pushed out a ton of games. A lot of crap and some great ones. There are so many games that peoples top 10 would all look different. I always couldn't wait until the latest Star Wars game was released, no matter what it is.
I thought Masters was going be amazing. I mean a fighting game with Star Wars? What could go wrong? Its the biggest pile of shit I have ever played. It would be in a top 10 worse games ever for me. What a let down. Anyway on to the good stuff!

10.Star Wars Revenge of the Sith PS2
I don't think this game got any credit or maybe its just bad and a guilty pleasure of mine but I found this game to be pretty solid. The Jedi powers were fun and so were the saber fights. Even the "VS" mode was fun and way better then anything Masters of crap ever was.

9.Star Wars Monopoly PC
I remember getting my first PC and coming home to play this as it was the only game I had for PC. Not much to say about it. I did think the animations were amazing at the time. Why is it at 9? Just good fuzzy memories.

8.Star Wars Galaxy PC
My friend made this game his life for a few years. Married some women(who ended up being a man), had a ton of money and a huge house on Dantoonie. I joined up and was given a land speeder by him and some money. Had a blast traveling to different  systems and planets(getting my ass kicked). Hanging out in cantina wearing a stormtrooper helmet I got in a trade from some bounty hunter. I was really starting to get it going and then one day I was out on a mission in the middle of no where when a Dark Jedi(which is like seeing a unicorn..they are that rare) came running up on me! This asshole stole everything I had and broke my land speeder... I had to run naked back to my house which took.. hours! I quit the game that day. If not for that dark jedi this game might be in the top 3.

7.Super Star Wars Return of the Jedi SNES
Played the hell out of this game as a kid. Its so crazy. You dodge things non stop . It was my favorite because of the three games on SNES this was the one I could beat. I enjoyed the light saber battle with Vader as I would sometimes pop it in and just use the code to get my fix to fight Vader.

6.Star Wars Rogue Squadron N64
Was a fun game that came with the "ram pack" for better graphics. Of course we swore up and down we could tell the difference(we couldn't). This game was challenging and once I beat it I never played it again but I did have a a lot of fun with it.

5.Star Wars the Force unleashed Xbox360
This game was really fun. It was a bit to easy but just a fun game where you got use any and all force powers on steroids. Found the story pretty interesting too. If I had played this game in middle school I would have crapped myself and called it the best SW game ever. To bad the 2nd game fell short.

4.Star Wars Battle Front II PS2
I was a huge Socom fan in the PS2 days and this sounded like the perfect marriage. Socom+Star Wars=Battle Front. I enjoyed the first one but I think the 2nd one was far better. It was just mindless fun. Just roaming around owning people on the battlefield. I did think the Jedi were cheap and screwed up some battles but outside of that its just great fun. The new one coming out has me thinking about buying next gen... If I ever have money.

3.Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic II Xbox
After playing the first one I was pretty hyped for this. Now I played this years after its release(like the first one) and outdated graphics didn't phase me at all. Its just amazing game. Love the more options this one gives you(clothing options ect). Now the story isn't as strong and the last boss battle is crazy hard and just doesn't have the charm of the first one but its still one of the best SW games ever made. The story to this day is still left hanging...

2.Star Wars Shadows of the Empire N64
I got this game petty quick after I got my N64 and my cousin and I played the hell out of it for a week. We couldn't get enough. Some of it had to do with it being the first adventure 3D game we had ever played and the other is it just kicks ass. From the Hoth battle to chasing down Boba Fett. The story is pretty damn solid and makes for a better movie then "Attack of the Clones". I beat this game so many times I have lost count. Some levels are so long but worth the reward of pushing the great story along. Some other great moments are fighting IG-88 on the junk planet, using the rocket back pack and blowing up the sky hook. Dash Rendar you will not be forgotten.

1.Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic Xbox
This game is not only my favorite star wars game but would be one of my favorite games ever. I became sucked in while working 3rds. Every night I couldn't wait to get to work to see what happened next. The combat took me a while to get used to and understand but once I did.. I couldn't get enough. The story just sucks you in and has a twist in the end that I some how didn't see coming. I think collecting things, making good or bad choices and the combat is put at a perfect pace.
The characters were likable and entertaining. This game brought way more joy then the prequels and is just better story telling. I would love to see this made into a movie. It will never happen unfortunately. Now if we could just get a 3rd one(not a online game) that continues the story, after II they just leave you hanging which still makes me wonder what happened with these characters and will we ever find out?  I plan on going a 2nd play through soon and enjoyed being the hero last time. I plan on taking the dark side on the next go around. If you are a Star Wars fan and never played this game.. Track it down now!
