Like many PC gamers, I freaked a bit when I found out that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) would be hitting the Xbox first. How could BioWare, the folks who have crafted some the best RPGs in recent memory, betray their loyal PC fans and sell out to the console world? I shouldn't have worried. KotOR on PC is, without question, the best PC RPG of the year, and possibly one of the best RPGs I've ever played. At the risk of not sounding objective, let me answer the question of how good KotOR is with this little anecdote:

On my second day of playing, I sat down at my desk and started playing the game at 10 am. From then on, I didn't get up for anything until 6 pm that night. Not lunch, not even the bathroom. That's how good KotOR is. It's got that obsessive/compulsive quality that keeps pushing you to solve just one more quest, to finish one more task, to go up one more level just to see what new stuff you can get. I'm truly thankful to have a job that requires me to play games, because I believe that if I played this game at home, my wife could sue for divorce on the grounds of neglect.
