PAX 2009: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic PC download available

BioWare and LucasArts teamed up several years ago to bring one of the best games ever made, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, to gamers. However, the PC version of the RPG hasn't been made available in stores for some time. That just changed today. At the end of a presentation for BioWare's upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic during PAX 2009, BioWare gave out codes to the attendees to download a free version of the game via Steam.

Naturally we checked ot see if the game was available for download and purchase via Steam and sure enough there it was. The game is also available via Direct2Drive. Both outlets are selling the game for $9.99 which is a true bargain to check out one of the best games of all time. And if you are at PAX and happen to miss today's presentation, it will be repeated tomorrow at 11 am. If we were betting people we suspect that BioWare still has some Steam codes for KOTOR to give away.

I might have to buy it off of Steam. I played through, I guess, about half of the game at a friend's house. It was really fun.

Though I've been waiting to snag Mass Effect for $10-15 for a while now, so I should probably just wait to see if it ever goes on sale before spending money on a game that I was never planning on buying.
I almost bought Jade Empire off of Steam before, but eventually decided against it.Posted at 10:03AM on Sep 6th 2009 by Xeones25
