Sony has, in recent years, developed a bad habit of serverly botching everything they touch in the gaming world.  The PS2 was a very buggy machine, just ask anyone who owned one.  The PSP had it’s share of dead pixel problems during it’s launch.  The PS3 is vastly overpriced, and don’t even get me started on how this company managed to turn a no-brainer cash cow like Star Wars Galaxies into something people seem to run screaming from.

Thier latest foray into the Star Wars galaxy is Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, due out in October 2007.  My intial reaction to this game is “meh.”  The graphics are so-so, plus the single player storyline is from the Rebel’s side.  You’re part of Han Solo’s special team…  So, if Drug Smuggling is your thing, have at.

Of note is that this game will not only available for purchase on it’s own, but as part of a “Star Wars Special Edition” pack.  The pack comes with the special edition PSP console decorated with the Man in Black on the back of it, which is pretty cool.

Just proves what I said before.  If you want to sell something, you put the Empire on it, and not the Rebellion.
