It's another very, very slim week for the Xbox 360. It is yet again so slim that the release is unworthy of a bulleted list. That's right, I said release, as in one. The only game shipping this week is Star Trek: Legacy. I'll go ahead and let it slip that I'm a Trek fan, but it remains to be seen whether this game is any good or not. Many will be quick to claim that Legacy is a Bethesda title, so it must be good. After all, they made Oblivion, right? It should be noted, however, that Bethesda is only publishing the title, while its actual development is being handled by Mad Doc, a company most noted for PC real time strategy games. But hey, it has the voices of every captain in Star Trek history, and that's got to be worth something. Anybody out there planning on beaming this up?

Voices of EVERY Star Trek Captain? If I try this game, can I turn off Janeway and Archer? Thanks.

An allegedly all encompasing Trek title, but they leave out the Dominion/Cardassian ships from the roster. BOOOO!!!!
No way will this game be any good. The Trek hardcore will buy and be disappointed no matter what, so why even try making a solid game?

I want to like this, as I haven't played a Star Trek game in ages. But since it has kind of snuck up on everyone, it leads me to think it won't be that good. Here's hoping it is, as I'm planning on picking it up this week. I didn't even see it advertised in the Best Buy or Circuit City ad so it probably won't be there this week.
