Star Trek Gets Scored and Dated
Curious about who whipped up the soundtrack for the PSP and PS2 versions of Bethesda's Star Trek games? Maybe when they're coming out? Yeah, we can help you there.

It's actually a little weird to think that Star Trek is 40 years old this month. We're talking of course of the original one-fight/hot-girl-per-episode bit of camp that Gene Roddenberry cooked up. That the series is still in syndication and running (albeit in a fairly tragically botched way) in the no man's land time slot of post-Midnight on NBC, says something about the longevity of Captain... James.... TKirkandthe... U...S...S.....Enterprise than anything we could cook up.
Which is probably why the good folks at Bethesda are cranking out a handful of Star Trek titles in October, starting with Star Trek: Encounters on the PS2 tomorrow and Star Trek: Tactical Assault on the PSP on the 24th. Though the former is more of a straight space shooter, the latter is, as the title would suggest, a bit more strategic, and actually had a storyline penned by Dorothy "D.C." Fontana and Derek Chester.
Both games were also scored by the team of Jason Graves and Rod Abernathy, who put quite a bit of orchestral goodies into the mix (though they dedicated a full hour of music to the 360 and PC-only Star Trek: Legacy, and it's not really clear what kind of hand-me-downs the PS2/PSP versions got of that, but they'll have something from the composer pair, that much we know for certain.
And now you know for certain that you'll have a double dose of hawt, hawt Star Trek action this month on both of Sony's systems. Hooray!
