A game based on a TV series on the Arcade? Can that work?

Maybe they got mixed up with the XBLA part...there has been confirmation of a BSG MMO being released...or maybe it's right and it's a new dogfight kind of game.

Sounds good to me as I love BSG (new and old).

yeah im a big fan of this show the space battles are epic and it has good drama but i doubt a xbla game would be good

An episodic-style game with the newer increased size limits? I think that could definitely work.

I forgot about the increase in size. Good point there.
