Game: Star Wars: Imperial Academy

Of all the characters from the Star Wars universe that you could play as in a video game, chances are the lowly Stormtroopers aren't particularly high on your list. Sure they're iconic and all, but mostly for being dimwitted blaster fodder. But in Star Wars Academy, a competitive first person shooter from ngmoco, that's all you get to play as. And while the game features a great RPG-style upgrade system and lots of famous Star Wars locations, it's also fraught with technical issues and a severe lack of options.
