You've got to hand it to LucasArts. As a company known for creating inconsistent Star Wars games and some very forgettable non-Star Wars games, the last 18 months have been a boon. With few exceptions, you can now look confidently at the Marin, Ca.-based publisher and find something compelling or downright desirable. With Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, the upcoming Star Wars Republic Commando, and the strange addicting Mercenaries, you'll be hard-pressed to resist any of them.
