So this is kind of cool, Sports Illustrated is diving head first into the top 10 LucasArts' titles of all time. Yes, of all time. As part of their Extra Mustard section of SI, the team takes a look at some of the best titles ever created from the studio that is now just a fond memory.
Undoubtedly, there are a number of entries on this list you may not have ever heard of, especially if you're still in high school or college. Let's face it, it's about time you became intimately acquainted with these classics of the gaming world.
While I won't ruin the entire list of 10 for you, I will go ahead and select one from their unnumbered list to share with you, the lovely readers of TGN.
Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (2001)
To see Rogue Leader was to lust after it. A brilliant launch title for Nintendo’s Gamecube, the Factor 5-developed classic remains a high point for Star Wars titles and action titles in general. The shoot-em-up borrows moments from all three of the original Star Wars films, and the highlights — including a AT-AT takedown on Hoth and a Star Destroyer attack — have rarely been more compellingly presented. Even 12 years later, Rogue Leader is a memorable, thrilling title.
Play It Now: If you don’t have a Gamecube kicking around, the title can be played on earlier Wii units that include compatibility with that console.
