Stormtroopers Wanted, Enquire Within

While the world waits for somebody to actually get a Battlefront game finished, fans of multiplayer Star Wars shooters may have to settle for a four-player game for the iPhone.

Star Wars: Imperial Academy — which should be out in the U.S. any day now (it's already available in Canada) — pits the player as an Imperial Stormtrooper in-training, who has to compete against other soldiers of the Empire to get a job. So, yes, it's a Star Wars reality TV show. That sounds like an awful lot of trouble to go to just to take a Rebel's laser blast to the face.

It supports four player multiplayer and is a free download. However, gamers are able to pay for better armour and weapons.
