Star Wars: The Old Republic has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records which is a very cool honor indeed. Just shortly after its launch on December 20, 2011, the popular MMO was awarded a spot in the latest Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition. The big title? the Largest Entertainment Voice Over Project ever.

More than 200,000 lines of recorded dialogue were performed by several hundred voice actors, making it a far more ambitious recording project than any undertaking for a feature film. (via MMOSite.com)

Because the record is such an awesome one, it received a full 2-page spread in the book, which I try to get every year because it’s great fun to read and have around. Here you will find a tribute to 30 years of Star Wars gaming with fun facts, new records, figures and more – all about Star Wars.

The new Guinness World Records 2012 Gamer’s Edition lists the following games in their top 10:

10.  The Force Unleashed II
9.   Star Wars Arcade
8.   Republic Commando
7.   Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
6.   Jedi Outcast
5.   Rogue Squadron
4.   Empire At War
3.   X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter
2.   Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
1.   Knights of the Old Republic

Lisa has been an avid gamer since she was old enough to hold her first controller and a game writer for more than a decade. A child of the Nintendo generation, she believes they just don’t make games like they used to but sometimes, they make them even better! While consoles will always be her first love, Lisa spends most of her gaming time on the PC these days- on MMOs and first-person shooters in particular.
