Leafel writes "UGO has posted a feature on the history of Star Wars video games, dividing the timeline into 4 categories: The Golden Age (up to 1990), The Silver Age (1991-1996), The Gaming Renaissance (1996-2000), Modern Age (2001 on). From the article 'December 2004 saw the latest release in a long line of Star Wars related video games. As a sequel to one of 2003's top role playing games, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords has made a lot of Xbox owners and RPG fans very happy. In honor of KOTOR II's release and in anticipation of May's Revenge of the Sith movie event, we take a look at the long history of interactive Star Wars entertainment, complete with all of its highs and lows.'"

I'm sure UGO got some payback for running the SW Infomercial, but I wonder if Slashdot did as well, or were they just a tool? Lucas doesn't have enough money to slather Star Wars merketing goo all up and down here if they wanted to, you have to go ahead and regurge their press release ink for FREE?

I thought you people were above mainstream news puppetry. At least have them check for lumps while they've got their hand way up there.
