Well there is Scrapland, which is futuristic, third eprson and 3D, but I'm not sure about the hack and slahs part, it's more like a GTA game but with robots.

a game that is VERY similar to KOTOR and KOTOR2 is Nevewinter Nights, albeit that game is set in fantasy, not space setting. Still - it fits all other descriptions.

another game is Oni - a fantastic futuristic 3rd person fighter/shooter. It is such an underated game I can't even explain it, but it is so fun and good. This one is futuristic, but has nothing to do with space.

If he'd like to try a more strategic futuristic game, then any of the X-coms are good.

An old RPG game that is very similar to diablo, except in space, is cybermercs, although you 'll definatelly have trouble finding this one! It wasn't very popular, but it is a good game.

A solid shooter that is space-bound is Alien vs. Predator. Really fun, but kind of short.

Others... Mech warrior? project eden? gunman chronicles? mdk? shogo?

hmmm... im running dry on my futuristic games... Does he own Jedi Knights 2? That's a solid shooter for a star-wars fan. Oh, and also Republic Commando - that game is CRAZY good! You may have mentioned these in the start, I forget, but there just may be a pool of starwars games he hasn't tried yet.

OK - those are ALL the space/futuristic games me and my brother could think of. Some of them fit your description, others only somewhat. Hope this helps! Cheers

Thank you guys for all the recommendations given here, my cousin and I really appreciate them. Yes, he does have Dark Forces and Jedi Knight. He also does have Alien vs. Predator. Bioforge seems nice, except for the missing hack and slash if I'm not mistaken. That Oni game mentioned, it is Onimusha or something? Deus Ex also sounds great, again the problem would be finding a copy in here. I also suggested Nano Breaker to him, but as I mentioned before he is having trouble with his Playstation (he needs to send it for service repairment). Anyway, he seems to choose Lego Star Wars for the next game. He has contacted a store and confirmed a copy is reserved there, and he would get the game in a few days (although he needs to drive 3 hours to reach that store, since it is in another city).

Again, thanks a lot for all the recommendation! k:

great game, both for PC and for playstation! The game is really cool because, unlike KOTOR and many other 3rd person fighters, you actually have to execute moves like punching, kicking, jumping, combos, etc... like in a fighting game. One of my all-time favourites.
