4. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
A long, long time ago in 2003, BioWare's take on the Star Wars universe showed just how well the iconic franchise can be handled by someone other than George Lucas. The narrative, comprising of the Sith Lords Revan and Malak, begets memorable twists while introducing some unforgettable characters in true BioWare fashion.
It's a good thing then that the one-time Xbox exclusive made its way to a modern iOS devices last month, allowing first timers another way to experience one of the best Star Wars stories ever told. Even better, the game has transitioned well into purely touch screen controls, in part due to KotOR's pause-and-play combat. For veterans of the series, it's simply a treat to go back in time and see how BioWare handled D&D mechanics and morality before the likes of Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
Being able to pause at any time to issue commands while playing makes up for any lost reaction time during Jedi lightsaber battles, and while selecting dialogue options can be a bit clunky, movement around iconic Star Wars planets made the transition well. Really, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's port leaves little to be desired.
