Today is May the 4th and as Star Wars fans everywhere know, it’s Star Wars Day. Now, people will celebrate this day many different ways – board games and video games immediately spring to mind, as do movie marathons. Video games ring particularly true with me, and if there’s one thing I’m going to do today, I’m going to play KOTOR (short for Knights of the Old Republic), what I think is still the best Star Wars video game to date. And I’m going to play it on Android, because right now you can get KOTOR for $2.99 USD on the Google Play Store, a massive price cut from its $9.99 launch price.
Set many years before the events of the original movie trilogy, KOTOR focuses on a similarly epic storyline of a galaxy oppressed by a Sith Lord and a hero who rises from obscurity. What made it so endearing to those who first played it in 2003Â was how much influence you had on the world around you and how your actions would cause an effect many planets away. It really goes to show how far smartphone technology has come these last few years that a console game from years back and now be played on a personal device. If you’re interested in taking advantage of this deal while it’s still around, hit the link below (yes it says $9.99, but click through to the Google Play Store and it will show as $2.99).
