Best Lucasarts Game

Favourite series is definately X-Wing, Tie Fighter etc.
Grim Fandango is easily their best game and one of my all-time favourites.
Manny Calavera all the way.

Can someone explain what all the hype around KOTOR is about?

From what I have seen, it is slow, boring and tedious (yes, I know it's a role-playing game, but it really doesn't make itself particularly accessible). The plot of Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast may be simple in comparison - but the games are simply much more fun to play.

As for my vote, it'd have to be Monkey Island 2 - don't think I ever laughed as much in a game...

i didnt enjoy jedi academy nor outcast, infact i disliked them to the extent i almost snapped the disc...

KOTOR however i completed 4 times and spend god knows how many hrs playing it, far from tedious imo. Im not usually a big rpg fan but personally thought the game was great..

Jedi academy was good, but nothing compared to KOTR. it's got a cool story, good battles and lots of sith/jedi to kill.

Dual bladed lightsabers...yes please.

Full throttle was undoubtly great I still have a copy lying around, but lets not forget games such as the dig and SW: supremacy.
Dark forces and kotor are contenders too!

Just a note on Monkey Island 4 [since was mensioned]
I bought it, as it was only MI game I didn't own - even though I was sceptical about lack of point/click interface [which I think was one major downfall].

Although, overall a good game, when not comparing with rest in series .... but when compared to 1-3, it was found lacking.

I thought Monkey Kombat was a good point of game, yes confusing etc - but brought you back to good 'ole monkey island pen & paper to jot notes days.

Swamp scene also excellent ... but overall the game just lacked the quirky humour from previous games, it wasn't as humourous, and the jokes were ... much to be desired.

For example, one of my favorite scenes in LeCheck's Revenge [2] - Use Saw with Peg Leg

The fourth one seemed to miss any such twisted humour, and although I always thought amusing how age changed ["loosing" your beard in 3rd] ... 4th was ridiculous, .... Head-B-Clear mustn't have lasting effects

Also slightly disappointed at such a short appearance from Murray [although they seemed to perfect his scenes].

Overall, I'd like to see the point/click interface brought back, and some non-politically correct humour
