Star Wars Battlefront III
Kotaku is at it again. After unveiling the first screenshots of Star Wars: First Assault, the big K is back with the first leaked footage from this multiplayer downloadable game. As we can clearly see, this clip features battles between stormtroopers and rebels across various Star War stages.

Star Wars v1
KOTOR 2 is considered one of the best Star Wars RPG games. It’s also considered as one of the buggiest games of all time (although Vampires: The Masquerade had even more bugs in our opinion).
