Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Premium Edition (PC)

Kyle Katarn's lightsaber has never looked this good sitting on a shelf. The Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Premium Edition for PC is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, and it treats one of the greatest Star Wars games ever made with the kind of reverence usually reserved for the films themselves.

The centerpiece of the presentation is brilliant. The physical game disc comes blister-packed to resemble vintage Star Wars action figure packaging, complete with a trap door on the back for access without damaging the card. It's the kind of design choice that makes you want to keep it sealed and display it forever. Beyond the blister pack, you're getting a board-game style rigid box with foil stamping, a G2 SteelBook, six art cards, a Lucasfilm USB drive, an 18" x 24" poster, a commemorative coin, a Jedi Knight enamel pin, a booklet of retrospective essays, and a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Jedi Outcast is the game that perfected lightsaber combat in a first-person shooter. The multiplayer alone consumed entire LAN parties. Having it DRM-free on disc and USB, wrapped in packaging that evokes the Kenner toy aisle, is a love letter to an era when Star Wars PC games were untouchable. One thousand copies. A game this important, packaged this well. The Force is strong with this one, and your shelf knows it.
