Ubisoft's covering Bethesda's Star Trek games, Legacy delayed

The brains of Picard and the cajones of Janeway.We'll dispense with the "To boldly go where no man has gone before" nonsense because someone's probably gone that way before. Instead, let's make a reference to the Kobayashi Maru battle simulation.

Imagine that Ubisoft and Bethesda are the incoming warships, the Star Trek fans and game players represent the captains and the ships who are trying to save the Kobayashi Maru, and my fractured sanity represents the damaged ship we're trying to save.

Unfortunately, the combined forces of Bethesda, who are developing three different Star Trek games across the various game platforms, and Ubisoft, who will be publishing the three games, are irresistible. Nothing will stop them from destroying my sanity and making sure you buy at least one version of their upcoming Star Trek games.

Yeah, you lose the scenario, but you were meant to lose it (unless you cheat like Kirk). Luckily for you, this kind of loss doesn't seem so bad since you still get Star Trek goodness on your favorite console. In addition to the already released Star Trek: Encounters for the PS2, you can also wreck some warp cores in Star Trek: Tactical Assault for Sony's PSP (released October 24) and Nintendo's DS (October 26). Lastly, you can surely wait till November 21 (yeah, it's a delay) for the coolest version of them all, the one with the original cast members playing their voices, in Star Trek: Legacy for the Xbox 360 and PC. Just one question: Kirk or Picard?

Awful story

Two of the last three sentences of that story were all that was intelligible. The rest was some mish-mash of you ejaculating all over yourself over Star Trek and pretending you could write. I like Star Trek, sure, but jesus, that story made no sense until you mentioned release dates. Learn how to write please.

the psp version completely sucks ass.

It's not even a 'tactical' game. It's an extremely deadpan version of wing commander without the stuff that made that game good!

PIcard... too bad Janeway isn't an option.

I concur. Though I'm partial to Janeway since her crew has Seven of Nine. :)

I say Kirk, and I had no problems at all understanding the article.
