A History Of Star Wars Video Games

Posted By Mike on September 17, 2008

With the highly anticipated game The Force Unleashed due out later this year, io9.com has decided to take a brief look at the various Star Wars video games througout the years.

Thanks to Ed Dolista of the Indy Cast for the link!


UPDATE: Along the same lines...Friend of TFN, "Yiddleja" sent over the following:

"Hey there. I just found this. Gametrailers.com will be doing a 10 part retrospective on most Star Wars games to have come out. I'm sure they will touch upon the movies and books as well.

Here is the link to the trailer.

I think you may have to sign up for the site (free) not 100% sure but I can't wait. I watched the final fantasy retrospective and it was fantastic. 10-20 mins episodes each."
