GameTrailers Star Wars Retrospective: Episode IX - Good, But No X-Wing 05 Sep, 2008, 21:14 / 4 comments

By The Tingler


The penultimate episode of GameTrailers' in-depth look at all the Star Wars games in existence hit Episode IX (that's nine) today, focusing on the non-X-Wing flying games. That's the Rebel Assault and Rogue Squadron series, and contains possibly the most sinister shot of a GameCube controller I've ever seen. Watch it here.

The next and final episode in the Retrospective will look at the 'other' (re: crap) Star Wars games. Possibly of most interest to us is their promise to also look at "the future of LucasArts", which should be worth a giggle.

    Every time somebody says Rogue Squadron is better than X-Wing, I die a little.

    I remember when N64, for whatever reason, was the hottest new shit in town, and all of my friends were so impressed by Rogue Squadron. I had already played the CD-ROM version of TIE Fighter, of course, and so Rogue Squadron looked pretty lackluster to me.

    Rogue Squadron is better than X-Wing.

    I've been dying a little bit each day since those words came back into my life.
