No idea about these, however
KOTOR2 was released unfinished because a publisher wouldn't let the developer have more time. SWTOR is, as I've seen, further in the timeline.
I've not seen anything new.
They're still dev'd pub'd. Look on XBox Arcade or PSN. Also, there's a few indie ones on PC
Side-scrollers are still around, but they're mostly being done by indie developers. http://trine2.com/site/, for example.
You should check out Secret of Evermore, but you MUST play Jade Empire. (unless you just meant you've not head anything)
So KOTOR was just ... left... unfinished?!?!?!?! WHO DO I KILL?!
Yes, but ... how does that make you FEEL?!
True enough. I've got SOTN on my xbox (with all achievements) and the last inide game I played that was worth any time was LIMBO. I'll have to check this Trine, out.
Many people wrongfully believed Secret of Evermore coming out was somehow to blame for Secret of Mana 2 not being translated, so they were determined to hate it. It bombed, so the absence of a sequel is no surprise.
Well I enjoyed it. Also, there was a sequel. Sieken Dietensu III... you can play it on EMU. Evermore was better. SOOOOO much better. I'm mad about that.
