Star Trek Legacy themes, pics on XBL

Romulans, Klingons, Borg, and more go warp speed to Xbox 360 dashboards; seven sets go for 100, 150 points ($1.25-$1.87) each.

Xbox-360-owning Star Trek fans must be bouncing off the walls now. Not only did Star Trek: Legacy make its debut on the console last week, but this week Microsoft released the first Star Trek-themed gamerpics and dashboard themes. Gamers can pick up four gamerpic packs featuring ships from the Romulans, Klingons, Borg, and Federation for 100 points ($1.25) each. Also available are dashboard themes with ships from the original series, the Enterprise era, and The Next Generation for 150 points ($1.87) each.

    Holy crap people, the 360 version of this game is the best trek game yet and one of the best Video games i've played all together. It has an awesome story stretching across all the eras about probably the most prominent villian in trek and it finaly captures Trek ship combat in the most realistic fashion yet. d^mn the RTS's, theres already been half a dozen of those, and several poorly done FPS's, not too mention all the crappy fighter sims which completely don't fit in the trek universe.

    We finaly get a True to Trek combat sim and all anyone can do is whine and b*tch? wow...

    Star Trek to me = Boring. BSG is sooooo much better.

    But again, we can't really compare, Star Trek is Legend, BSG is on it's way.

    But I never really liked Star Trek, and from a few Trekie posts below, the game was not that good...

    I'm just greatful that Star Wars games have mostly been good, specially the last few But I hope you Trekies get an awesome game to satisfy your every needs!

    not going to happen. the star trek universe is based on ships with crews, not one person. and if you did do something like a star fleet academy with a crew and story line it would still be boring. star trek just needs to stay out of video games period.

    and i am a trekkie

    Can anyone say RIP-OFF!!! Bethesda is becoming the new EA. Also these Star Trek games really suck. I want more Star Trek games like Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. I want to see more games like Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Star Trek Battlefront, or Star Trek Knights Of The Old Federation. The Star Wars games are done so well can't they do the same for the Star Trek games? They don't need to copy Star Wars because the Star Trek universe is full of potential not just in story but also in gameplay.

    No thanks.

    Yup, I agree with AnimeScifiGamer and w_reflection. We need a good Star Trek game done right, not just kicked out the door in whatever condition it is in to try to cash in on the christmas rush like what Bethesda just did. Disgraceful. Do it right or don't do it at all. Reminds me of EA and Superman Returns.

    AnimeScifiGamer makes a good point. We need to get some real gaming trekies working on a game. They would know what would be acceptable and probably wouldnt rush it.

    either way i dont know why anyone buys those themes when you can make your own with pictures you download from the computer

    Great idea, Nickle and Dime Trekkies. Thats a shaw fire way to make money.

    It's not fair Star wars fans get all the good games while we trekkies get rushed out crap and then get made fun of.

    Way to go - pay for gamerpics based on a game which already is receiving consistently bad reviews.
