And today, we are going to dodge the angry nerds and fan theories to look at every Star Wars film released in theaters and list the best and worst…
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, which combines remastered versions of the first two Pandemic-developed games, is now out on consoles and PC. And while I’m enjoying the chance to replay this favorite of mine from yesteryear, bugs and other problems make it tricky to recommend in its current state.
