Ode To Joysticks

Posted By Dustin on January 18, 2006

The editor from Variety.com sent us this link to a current article they're running about Star Wars video games in 2005.

Here's a snippet:

"Mirroring the B.O.B.O. success of "Revenge of the Sith," games based on the sci-fi franchise accounted for four of the five top-selling Hollywood licensed games of 2005 in North America. Those four were also the only games with a studio tie-in to break into the overall top 10, according to data from industry tracker NPD Group and publishers.

"Star Wars" has proved one of the most successful franchises in the vidgame world and got an added boost in 2005 from release of "Revenge of the Sith."
