    I may well be the only one who thinks the KOTOR series is over-rated.

    I did like the first one, but the second was a disappointment.

    Jade Empire was the best of the three of them.

    KOTOR was developed by Bioware, but the second one (that is not as good) by Obsidian.

    Yeah, Obsidian has ex-Black Isle people and now ex-Troika people too, I think they're capable of great things, KOTOR2 just wasn't one of them :)

    It kinda sounds like EA are being more "unrestricting" on companies they buyout as they have quickly discovered (the painful way) that it is not so much successful IP's that they need to buyout and keep, but rather successful game's developers, which is much less of a simple task.

    They are being very loose when it comes to Mythic, after shutting down 2 previously successful MMO's after buying them out. Well, perhaps not successful as I had never heard of them until recently, but one of them, I am reliably informed, had some 400, 000 subscribers.

    And as for Spore, it was looking to be a great game, long before EA came on-board :p
