WADE MANNS By LucasArts and Traveler’s Tales Games Genre: Third-person Lego-crossover action Star Wars has long been great fodder for video games, from the epic RPG Knights of the Old Republic (taking place 4,000 years before the first-released movie), to the RTS Empire at War (exploring rebel-versus-Empire skirmishes in detail from the movies and beyond),...

WADE MANNS – The Corsair Stacking By Double Fine Genre: third-person puzzle/action? Double Fine has a history of releasing games that are really fun but have some pretty weird concepts.

RANDALL J. WILLIAMS – The Corsair By DreamWorks Studios Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for language.
