I wonder what Larry Holland is doing these days?

He's still doing well in his new role as Larry the Cable Guy.

Interesting, but really lackluster visuals and esp. vocals.

Thank god I still have my Gamecube and Rogue Squadron series to satisfy my Star Wars cravings. Wish they could update it for the Wii or better yet PC.

Will keep an eye on it but not hoping for much.

Thanks for posting!

I had a Rogue Squadron game for the PC. Forget from when, but it never impressed me too much.

The best recent one was the space maps in Battlefront 2, even though that was never nearly as good as the X Wing series.

Cool for its time... An absolute must on the Nintendo.

Official announcement today on their site:

"We want to thank all of the fans who participated in the closed beta of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons. After much consideration, we have decided to cease development so that we can focus on other Star Wars game experiences. We truly appreciate the time you spent engaging in the beta."

Did you play it? It's actually really good and quite a challenge. Only beat it a couple of times.

Anything less than what we got with the Larry Holland games I'm not interested in. Sorry but I don't do games that are meant to run on a tablet or smartphone.

It's been 15 years since we got the last of those.

I wouldn't hold my breath as it could be 15 before the next one.

It had pants written all over it from the start. F2P model included..... No thanks.

Is it just me or does F2P mean in todays world that the game will have more time and money spent on development of purchases than actual game content..... (yes you can look over this way MWO)

Fighterops...

The only TRUE Stealth crowd funded game.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

I had a Star Wars game on my Sega Genesis 32X CD.

You flew an X-Wing.

Can't remember the name of it.

It's the only Star Wars game I'd ever played and that one I liked.

Also the X-Wing arcade back in 1983-1984 where you had to blow up the Death Star, that one I liked too.

I spent a ton of $ on that, most of what Dad gave me for my food allowance when I lived in my college dormitory.


What's in the box? C'mon, what's in the boooox?

There were a bunch of games with the Rogue Squadron label, might have been one of those.
