Jedi Knight II on your Android


Will wonders never cease? The best lightsaber-fighting Star Wars game, Jedi Knight II, can now be played on your Android smartphone -- though with some caveats.

Developer Beloko Games has ported a customized version of the Jedi Knight engine over to ARM, which means all you need to do is get the game content from the Steam version (US$6.99) and copy the files over to your smartphone to get it working.

Now, if you're thinking this sounds a little dodgy, rest assured it's not. The game's source code was released under GPL, allowing the developer to compile the engine to work for Android devices. He is, however, not allowed to charge for the copyrighted content: i.e. the game assets.

Before you grab the app (US$1.99), the developer states that you'll need at least a dual-core device to play the game. And if you're thinking your lightsaber fighting skills are going to suck due to touchscreen controls, well the app has support for Xbox and PS3 controllers.
