   Remember how long it took Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic to make the journey from Xbox to PC back in 2003? Four months. And how long ago was the Xbox version of Jade Empire released? Almost two years. And, just out of curiosity, how many new games have they released during this time? Oh, right, none! Yet despite all these facts, BioWare cleverly kept themselves in the spotlight, as they continue to be one of the best and most respected RPG developers on Earth. Surely, we can forgive them for not churning out crappy games on a seasonal basis, and for working on just a few huge projects at the moment - including (but certainly not limited to) Mass Effect, Dragon Age and that mystery MMO game they're making down South in Austin.

   And we'll also forgive them if the PC version of Jade Empire doesn't turn out to be what some may have hoped for. It is, after all, the same last-gen game they made for the Xbox (you know, the one that received scores of mostly 90% and up), only with updated graphics and PC-friendly interface, improved combat A.I., an additional difficulty level called "Jade Master", as well as new monsters, NPCs and new fighting styles.

   All these, ladies and gents, shall be yours for the playing in a few weeks, as BioWare and 2K Games have announced today that Jade Empire: Special Edition went Gold. The North American release is set for February 27, while Europeans will need to wait a bit longer, until March 2.
"In the ancient, mysterious world of the Jade Empire, players choose to act as a noble hero or treacherous villain by following the path of the "Open Palm" or the "Closed Fist". Players will face powerful human and supernatural foes, learn magical martial arts and weapons styles, and discover the darkest secrets of the world. Jade Empire: Special Edition engages users with its rich story line and optimizes the gaming experience for PC gamers with an additional difficulty level, graphical upgrades, enhanced resolution and ultra-crisp visuals. In addition, the PC version features an exclusive art book and poster."    Completing this annoucement is a new Jade Empire: Special Edition trailer, available locally for streaming / download.
