I haven't got around to reading 'Rule of Two' yet, but the first Bane book is actually very good. I reccomend reading it. It's almost like a biography, covering a lot of his life and setting up the reasons behind Sith principles like the Rule of Two itself.
Also, it is full of little references to Revan and KotOR, every one of which made me grin like an idiot. Sometimes they are excessive, in fact. There's a scene where he mentions that there are some kath hounds in the distance, for absolutely no reason.

Also I enjoyed Drew Karpyshyn's books but does anyone know if his books Darth Bane: Path of Destruction and Rule of Two are any good cause I'm thinking of buying them the next time I go to Borders. If any of his books are worth reading, it would probably be his Darth Bane series. They're definitely overwritten, as Mister Buch pointed out, he goes into very unnecessary detail about unnecessary things. But! I've been reading though Path of Destruction and it's better than his ME works by leaps and bounds. Those Star Wars books are basically a product of him having no deadlines and a comfortable amount of time to write them in. Very reminiscent of KotOR in many places. I clapped like an idiot when Revan was brought up in conversation. xD But I still say he should get someone else to write Mass Effect when he's so busy like he is: writing for ME2 and probably ME3. AND, apparently, he just finished the third Darth Bane book. I think a very solid series in the ME universe could be had if he would just hand over the reins to his works this one time!

Thanks for the info. I'll pick them up the next chance I have. For some reason I don't really read that many Star Wars books even though it's my favorite movie series of all time and always will be. But the Darth Bane books have caught my attention.

Sweet, so it is true. Well as Chris said this is a nice little extra, but I won't be able to play it. I'll just read it and be content with that.
Also ya I would have kicked that tester's ass.

Ironic part that one of my classes discuss about iPhone gaming and ways to program it into a game...
Anyways, yeah that tester did screw his career big time. The game industry is a small place so one stuff up and CRACK! You're stuffed. I don't feel sorry for that tester but I do feel it, since getting blacklisted in the games industry is a GG for your gaming career and I hate to be stuck in his place.
