Star Wars games are awesome, and, if you are over 40 years old, i would add nostalgic to that. I remember even this days, after 20 years, how i broke my first joystick playing Tie Fighter. It was amazing! I will talk about the Star Wars game series and several PC custom builds to play the games at max settings.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer – Of all the games released to celebrate Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Episode I: Racer has remained the fan favorite for more than 20 years. It not only puts players in the cockpit of their favorite podracer — whether that’s Anakin Skywalker, Gasgano, or Sebulba — but is also a slick, exciting arcade racer regardless of the galaxy of worldbuilding behind it. Time hasn’t dulled the fun of this Nintendo 64 hit in the slightest. Pick it up today on GOG.com or Steam.
Just like the movies themselves, sometimes Star Wars sequels can’t quite live up to the hype. Traveller’s Tales had already cranked out three awesome LEGO Star Wars games at this point, so you’d think they could do even more amazing things with a game based on the popular Clone Wars cartoon. And… they sort of did. It’s still fun replaying episodes and collecting thousands of studs, but the baffling inclusion of RTS elements brings this one down a few pegs.

The first in a trilogy of shoot-em-up platformers for the SNES, Super Star Wars was the strongest too. Rock hard by today’s standards, at this point in the 90s it was one of the most colorful ways to experience the Star Wars universe in an interactive way. Letting you at turns control Luke, Han and Chewie (as well as a few amazing vehicle missions), you’ll see everything from the streets of Mos Eisley to the inside of a Sandcrawler to a climactic run through the Death Star. Sure, it takes some liberties with the property (remember when Luke shot all the Jawas? Or when he was nearly killed by the giant green bunny rabbit thing?). But in the 16-bit era, this was as good as it got.
While multiple-video-card gaming is still a path to great gaming, know that a game must be written to leverage multiple cards properly, and game developers in recent years have been de-emphasizing timely support for CrossFireX and SLI in games. Sometimes this support only emerges well after a game’s debut; sometimes it never comes at all. Also, Nvidia has been putting a damper on SLI in the last couple of years; it has kiboshed support for installing more than two of its late-model cards at the same time, and only a subset of its higher-end cards can be installed in SLI. Our general advice for mainstream buyers is to concentrate on the best single card you can afford.
PC build pick of the month to play Star Wars intensive GPU games : Let’s say you’re a big fan of PC gaming, but you like the couch-friendly experience of the Xbox One S or PS4 Slim. Nothing quite beats kicking back with a gamepad at the end of the day, but consoles still can’t beat the PC’s do-anything nature, high level of configurability, or cheap Steam Sale games. Enter the MSI Trident Mini PC, which proudly boasts its console-sized dimensions. It’s available in a few different versions, with prices ranging from $800 to $1,300 depending on the CPU and GPU you select. The above model is the highest-end model that comes with a Core i7-9700F and GTX 1660 Ti, so it’s a great system for 1080p and 1440p gameplay—plus a just playable 30fps experience at 4K. It’s VR-ready, too, so if you want to explore the virtual worlds from the confines of your living room, the MSI Trident 3 is, well, great. Read extra details at prebuilt gaming PC.
