The Star Wars license has been attached to several different genres of video games over the years. Some of the didn't work as well, but there were a few that were golden. Sadly, there are a few great games that LucasArts never revisited, so Push Start Select is highlighting the 5 games fans want to see again.
The games you know from the article you'd be more than familiar with the skills they possess and really wish you had those skills. Definitely some skills there that would be fantastic to possess.
Beth, OXCGN's Nerd-Girl takes a look at 2011's Star Wars Kinect game and discusses her wishes and desires, from a nerds point of view of course.
If the game turns out half as good as it sound, then it will be a hit with millions of would-be jedi's, Darth Vadar's, and Sith Lords across the globe.
So come check out Beth's interesting yet humorous slant on being a nerd with Kinect heading our way later this year.
"Game PR gurus often promise things that aren't always delivered in their final games. Often caught in the pre-release storm of hyperbole, hateful buzzwords and excitable press releases, the marketing men commit their games to features or mechanics the developers just can't live up to. In a world of 22 hour days, sleep deprivation and divorce-baiting deadlines, shit happens. That seemed to be the case with the following failed preview pledges.

When you think of LucasArts as a game developer and publisher, you immediately think of Star Wars, but believe it or not, what got the company on the map were games like Loom and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.
When LucasArts starting to make games for their famous Star Wars series, it started off to be very successful, with games likes X-Wing and TIE Fighter doing really well. After that, they never stopped and as a result, the games started getting worse. To this day, George and his te...
GameInformer, the popular magazine about all things gaming that has somewhere near three million subscribers, always has a different game on the cover each time. MTV wanted to see if there was a GI cover curse, so they looked back into the past and pulled out magazines from 2-3 years ago.
One game titled Superman Returns didn't so well, receiving 6/10's. That's nothing compared to Fear and Respect, which was at one point on a GI cover, but ended up being canceled!
