Gaming roundup

BusinessWeek looks a the future of Star Wars gaming. It’s a nice roundup of upcoming games and what may be lurking in the wings – although no platform, not the Xbox 360, has been announced for the ‘Star Wars 2007’/Force Powers’ – The one with the demo where you throw Stormtroopers – yet.

In another corner of the ‘net, IGN has a theory… Could the 2007 game contain hints for the live-action TV series?

And you can finish off the required gaming reads of the day with a short history of LucasArts.
