    Simply put: Star Wars: Trench Run [iTunes link] is awesome. The idea is fairly simple: you are re-enacting the final battle scene from the first Star Wars movie, and if you think that refers to The Phantom Menace, may God have mercy on your soul. There's a dogfight, with you in your X-wing versus several TIE Fighters. That's followed by your descent into the trench on the Death Star where you face off against TIE Fighters, cannons, and obstacles that you have to fly over or under, all while avoiding being lined up Darth Vader's crosshairs. When you get to the end of the trench, you have to try to hit the exhaust port and blow up the Death Star. My method of evaluating games is simple: 1. Is it fun to play? 2. Is it something that I'll still want to play after I've played it for awhile?
