Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike – 60SRG Episode 66
This week’s blast from the past is Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3 on the Gamecube. Rebel Strike was released at the tail end of 2003 in the middle of the console’s run, and proved to be another solid entry in the world of Star Wars video games. Solid, but not spectacular. Some may have appreciated …
