Even longer ago in a place even farther away the Trade Federation is up to no good on the planet Naboo. Now you can join in the battle against them and blast some serious droid butt. Star Wars: Starfighter let's you hop into the cockpit of three different starships with three different pilots to fight the evil Trade Federation. Check 'em out:

  • Rhys Dallows - a Military man itching for action.
  • Vana Sage - a Mercenary girl who is ready to rumble.
  • Nym - this Pirate is the bomb.

  • Star Wars: Starfighter Video Game Basics

    You're swapped from pilot to pilot as the story sends you flying through space, cruising along on ground missions and dogfighting with the best the Trade Federation has to offer. It's a good thing your ship's the bomb cuz there are tons of enemies. You'll have more baddies on the screen than ever before and the Playstation 2 graphics still look sweet. Even the ground looks good, just don't get too close...


    Star Wars: Starfighter Spectacularly Spacey

    Star Wars: Starfighter has John Williams - the Star Wars music master - doing the tunes, plus a handful of decent voices for the characters. The spacefights sound good and the Sound fx are solid.


    Star Wars: Starfighter Space Glitches

    There are a few problems though. The biggest bummer is the radar. Where'd it go? C'mon George, these high-tech spaceships can probably do your homework for you. Who forgot the radar? That and multiplayer. If you want to hook up with a buddy for a quick match, one of you has to beat nearly half the game to unlock multiplayer.


    Star Wars: Starfighter Bottom Line

    It's a good game with a few problems that's totally worth checking out if you're a space nut or are cravin' some alien action.


    How hard is Star Wars: Starfighter?

    It takes about 30 minutes to learn the controls, then you can choose the difficulty.


    Star Wars: Starfighter Age Rating:

                          Candy Crush is a game on mostly all Apple products. This game is a extremely fun game but eventually gets hard. You have to get 3, 4, or even 5 candies in a row. You have to earn points and clear something called jelly. Jelly is a little layer of jelly covering the candy. You have to get the candies in a row, like normal. Then the jelly will dissolve. Once that happens, you will have to make another row matching. It gets very hard and complicating. These levels go up to more than 200!!! If you haven't yet downloaded this app or played online, get going because you my friends have a longggggggg way to go!!

I was looking out the window while going home once and in between the trees, RIGHT THERE, was a white face, well, he doesn't really have a face, but a white head. NOW HE'S GOING TO HAUNT ME UNTIL I DIE. SOMEONE HELP ME. I hate the game and I hate slender man. Here's some tips for the game: rule 1 for all horror games: do not *repeat* DO NOT TURN AROUND. IF YOU DO, BAM, THERE IT IS. Rule 2 for Slender: The breathing heavily means nothing, except if they breathe heavily for too long, then you slow down. So only run when you see Slender Man. Rule 3 for slender: WHY THE HECK DID YOU GO INTO HIS FOREST IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?! That's all I have. THANK YOU AND STAY AWESOME!! OMG THIS
