10 Popular Star Wars Video Games

By: Tracey Edwards

With several hundred Star Wars Video Games that have been played and enjoyed ever since the original Atari game of 'The Empire Strikes Back' proved such a hit in 1982, in was hard to narrow down the selection to the top ten games of all time. But here is my list of the best games of the franchise.

1. Knights Of The Old Republic. Knights combined a great story with classic RPG to produce one of the most popular games of the franchise. Set thousands of years before the movie series, this story made it a classic favorite for all fans.

2. Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. As a first person action game, Dark Forces II was superb, that you could use Jedi powers made it a must have game.

3. Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. Rogue Squadron II was a favorite with fans due to some fun arcade style shooting.

4. TIE Fighter. TIE Fighter followed soon after X-Wing with improved graphics and storyline to provide fans with a more enjoyable game.

5. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Based on the Quake III engine, this 2002 game was notable particularly for the great light saber battles.

6. Lego Star Wars II. Based on events of the original movie trilogy, the second lego game of the series proved to be very popular.

7. X-Wing. Allowing your dreams to fly an X-Wing and help the alliance come true, this PC game was so popular that three sequels and one expansion pack came very soon after it was released.

8. Empire at War. In 2006 your attempts to control the universe could have been released in this popular strategy game.

9. Dark Forces. This 1995 Doom style shooter combined sharp graphics and a good plot to have you try and stop Darth Vader's attempts to create a bunch of Dark Troopers (really really bad Storm Troopers).

10. Republic Commando. Released in 2005 this first person shooter allowed you to play on the dark side while controlling a group of clones in the clone war.

So there you go, the top ten Star Wars Games of all time. While everyone will have a different opinion of which games should have made the list, these classics still seem to remain favorites in the hearts of true fans of the series.
