When Jade Empire was released on the original XBox in 2005, it was an almost instant hit for Bioware, and due to popular demand has now been released for the PC platform with updated graphics.


Jade Empire attains the holy grail of gaming in the form of an immersive story underpinned by some of the best voice acting I have ever come across. Without giving too much away, the story centres around your character’s search to understand his/her past and why the spirits of the dead will no longer rest; in the process, it seamlessly draws on martial arts lore, Eastern philosophy, animism and numerous other fortean subjects.
