Mostly games around a franchise, like Star Wars, is an attempt to make some easy cash off the brand. The games tend to be few and pretty weak. This is not the case with Star Wars. They really put in the time and effort to make sure every Star Wars game was really high quality stuff, before they put it out.

The good
Action packed campaigns, really good squad command, great sound and graphics, good team AI.
The bad
It was too short for my liking.
Star Wars Republic Commando puts you in the shoes of an elite trooper during the height of the Clone Wars. You lead a three man team of elite troopers on a number of missions. Each trooper has specialties like explosives, sniping and so on.
The game takes you on three distinct campaigns during the Clone Wars. You’ll invade Geonosis, along with the rest of the Republic army, investigate a derelict starship, and assist the Wookiees in fending off Trandoshan slavers.
There is also a multi-player mode with deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag.

Battlefront II is a team-based shooter, like Battlefield 1942, only better. It does have single player missions, but really shines in multiplayer online mode. There you can join up with up to 63 other players and go head to head.
The biggest improvement over the original game is the huge ship maps. You will be able to jump into a small starfighter, fly out of the fighter bay of capital ships, and dogfight in outer space as naval combat rages between massive star destroyers, frigates, and the tiny fighters that buzz around them. The best part of the space combat is trying to bring down the huge capital ships. You can attack them from the outside using larger fighters like Y-Wings or TIE bombers, or you can attempt to land inside their fighter bay, after which you send out marines to destroy the ship from the inside.
After you have gained enough points in a map, the hero is unlocked. Each team can have only one hero at a time. Most of them are lightsaber-armed Jedi. Most Jedi can throw their light sabers, and some have Jedi powers. Certain maps will also let you play special characters like Boba Fett or Han Solo, who have special weapons.
All in all this is a great game.

This is a role playing game set 4,000 years before Star Wars Episode I. The Sith Lords have hunted the Jedi to the edge of extinction and are on the verge of crushing the Old Republic. With the Jedi Order in ruin, you are the Republic’s only hope.
Throughout the game you will be able to make either good or evil decisions which will shape the outcome of the game. You travel from place to place discovering your Force powers and meeting companions to aid you.
The game is best described as a near-perfect blend of exploration, combat, and role-playing.

Nice theme… looks familiar.
I have a question though: how did you get those ratings boxes? They are really cool.
What I did was to make the box and the bar in Photoshop. Then I made a html table and I set the box as the background and put the bars in the table cells.
Cool. They are very good.
Here’s a suggestion: Add more things to your sidebar, it looks lopsided right now.
And, change your name from Admin to something personal.
