Gold Award-winning Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic is half price on iPad for a limited time

It's safe to say that many of us were surprised when BioWare brought its much-revered Star Wars RPG to the iPad ten years after its initial launch. And, best of all, it didn't suck.

Don't believe me? It's true. We gave Knights of the Old Republic a well-deserved Gold Award.

Our conclusion says that despite "some control workarounds and dated visuals, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remains a truly exceptional RPG and one of the best Star Wars games ever released on any platform".

That's hefty praise, and is hopefully a sentiment that you agree with if you've played KOTOR on your iPad (or at all).

But today's news is mainly for everyone else who hasn't played the game yet. Maybe you've been patiently awaiting a price drop on KOTOR before you picked it up? Today is your day.

KOTOR is available for £2.99 / $4.99 on the App Store [buy] for a limited time. Have at it.

If you haven't played the game on any platform before, do it. Fancy revisiting KOTOR to see if it was as good as it was previously? Grab it while it's cheap.
