I'm finally doing some gaming on the Xbox after many many months! I'd picked up Star Wars: Outlaws on super-special a while ago but hadn't actually played it yet so I figured I'd give it a go.

I've only been playing for a few hours and am only on the second planet, but they've done such a good job capturing the feel of the ordinary, grimy side of the Star Wars universe. I've been tootling around the Market District in Mirogana and I love all the little details they've added, there's a food court with people sitting around eating or ordering food from the vendors, there are little hole-in-the-wall vendors making food or selling or repairing electronics or other things, random droids wandering around, and then the underlying menace from seeing Stormtroopers marching about on patrol too. As well as people speaking Basic, you've also got the various alien languages as well, most of them exactly how they'd sound from the movies, and the whole atmosphere is so well-done.

I am continuing to thoroughly enjoy Star Wars: Outlaws! I've been doing jobs for various crime syndicates, have snuck onto an Imperial fuelling station, and most recently salvaged a nav computer from an Old Republic shipwreck. Just before I turned everything off tonight I finally landed on the planet Kijimi, which is from the look of things a cold and barren ice world so it's going to be a good change from the harsh dry winds and heat of Toshara.

I really like how they portray the main character Kay, she's not a total badass, she's just someone who's trying to survive and who keeps getting the short end of the stick. They did a really good job with the voice actor as well, she's always got an underlying not-quite-sure quality like she's trying to bluff her way through things but isn't fully confident.
