Since finishing Age of Mythology, I've been looking for my next computer game to play. I planned to finish up one more title before starting my next North American League Baseball season. I played a little bit of F1 Championship Season and a bit of Black & White as well. However, I bought Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and decided to give it a go. It is basically Age of Empires II set in the Star Wars universe. It uses the same game engine. At first, the dated graphics were a little tough to get used to after playing the newer Age of Mythology. However, it didn't take much time at all before that was a non-issue. I am really enjoying it as I knew I would.

The game features six civilizations to play: the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, Wookies, Trade Federation, Gungans, and Royal Naboo. I am playing the single-player campaigns. So Far, I have finished the first and second campaigns. The first campaign was a training campaign with the Wookies. The second campaign featured OOM-9 and the Trade Federation. I still need to play the Gungan, Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, and Wookie campaigns.
