Star Wars: The Old Republic Might Not Make It Until 2012

Though originally targeted for a 2011 holiday release, the long awaited sequel to KOTOR games on Xbox might slip into Q1 of next year. No firm date will be given until next month, which worries some. Me on the other hand, I don't mind them taking extra time.  

My Top Ten No More Heroes Characters #10: Kimmy Howell

She first appears in No More Heroes 2, as an optional boss fight. She's actually challenging Travis Touchdown for his title making it one of the few defense fights Travis has to do. She's actually optional to the player. 

But I admit, it's a pretty good fight after the funny cut-scene. I like how's she's a Darth Maul parody, and she's a decent challenge. So if you're not careful you might end up like Qui-Gon Jinn in the game. 

Things I Like: Deal or No Deal

The gameshow was pretty big when it came out, granted it did get a bit stale after some time. 

Howie Mandel was cool and annoying at the same time. 

I liked when they did special episodes or bits like the Star Wars stuff. 

Interesting enough, I noticed that one of briefcase girls was someone I recognized. Her name is Lisa Gleave, and she's not exactly a supermodel. 

But I remember when she used to be a booth-babe for Tecmo's Dead or Alive games at E3. 

Things I Like: Clarissa Explains It All

A classic Nickelodeon show, one of my old favorites. 

Kinda of a dorky family though. 

For some reason I don't remember this light saber duel. Decent special effects for low budget TV shows from the 90's. 

Things I Hate: Soul Calibur IV

I really liked the 2nd game, and felt betrayed that Namco made III only available on PS2 so I didn't play that one. 

The graphics look great, however I didn't like the changes in the gameplay. It just didn't seem that fun anymore. The difficulty seemed unbalanced, and the modes weren't very addicting. It's not a bad game really, but it could have been much better in my eyes. 

I really liked the trio of select characters in Soul Calibur 2. I loved playing as Link in the Gamecube version. However I didn't like Starkiller or Yoda. Star Wars is forced down our throats these days, and they're not that great at fighting in the game, and don't really fit the universe. 

Lucasarts, Microsoft to Release R2D2 Xbox 360

The new system looks just like our favorite droid, and makes sounds just like the little robot. There is even a message that says "Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Me want!

People I Like: Mark Hamill

Even though he's not really doing any real acting these days, I still respect him. 

His greatest role for sure. 

Too bad Jedi Knight is too hard to top-off. The later part of his acting career is a bit sad. 

But hey voice acting is great. 

Fact of the Day: How to Land an Acting Job

Harrison Ford was a carpenter before an actor. He landed small roles by doing housework for George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola. While fitting a door, he was asked to read lines to help people audition. He was so good, that he was offered the role of Han Solo in Star Wars.

Things I Like: Star Wars Episode I: Racer

A good game based on a bad movie? It happens. 

Pod-racing was a decent idea in the film, and I'm glad they made a game based off of it. 

You could really feel the sense of speed in this game, and I had a lot of fun on this ice track with all the hills to glide off of and slide on. 

Really something they need to bring to the retro game services on the new consoles. 

My Top Ten Worst Star Wars Characters #1: Anakin Skywalker

Whiny little squirt.

Way to ruin a pod-race.

Can't battle worth a fuck either. 

Anakin Skywalker may not be as bad some other characters in many reasons, but he's so disappointing. Why was Darth Vader such a little bitch in his younger years?

My Top Ten Star Wars Characters #1: Darth Vader

One of the greatest villains of all time no doubt about it. 

He honestly used to scare the shit out of me as a kid. 

Then again if I was Luke I'd probably pee my pants. 

Bad-ass dick did the worst of the worst. Even blocked lasers with his motherfucking hand.  

Loved the fight between him and Luke. 

We didn't need Maury Povich to find out this. 

He did meet his final end soon enough. 

Heartbreaking.
