You can also transform Jedi Academy into a Star Wars fighting game with ten characters to choose from. Meanwhile, a Half-Life 2 mod lets you relive the Black Mesa invasion (from Half-Life 1) as a soldier.

I know I'm several years late with this meme, but please indulge me because I never once used it. Ahem. Yo dawg, I heard you like Star Wars so I put Star Wars in your Star Wars so you can Star Wars while you Star Wars. In other and more useful words, this mod turns Jedi Academy into a Star Wars fighting game, with 10 characters to choose from and 5 arenas to fight in.

This mod promises a return to the events of the original Half-Life, only in Half-Life 2, and from the perspective of an army major stationed in Black Mesa's military complex. Battle aliens and deal with the black-ops agents sent to contain the interdimensional outbreak. The mod is available (free) on Steam from the link above, but keep in mind it's still in Early Beta so don't expect a bug-free experience.
