Star Wars

I'm of the generation that went geeky through Star Wars, so the first footage from the new sequel trilogy (by one of my generation) was always going to work on at least some level.

Spaceships and blasters and running and explosions and lightsabres and monsters and droids and snark and who'll end up with who...

And it's so very playable as well. Half a dozen characters in a broken spaceship against an endless army of supervillains and planet-busting weapons. Played it a lot, and even run it.

And then there are the prequels, which tried something different - a big sweeping epic about the central people caught up in a tragedy. They were just uneven, and weren't much fun. Still, points for trying.
