In case you missed it this weekend -- Mark Wilson, of Kotaku, got his hands on Sierra Online's upcoming Battlestar Galactica. Filled with high hopes and what appears to be a mild case of fanboyitis, Mark Wilson ultimately comes out disappointed. But I'll let his own words speak for said feelings:

"...it's a lame arena shooter without the weapon combat, controls, or maybe most importantly, almost any exploitation of the rich IP to make it a fun title."

Ouch.

BSG will indeed face stiff competition from Wing Commander: Arena, but to be fair, it doesn't seem like he had the option of testing out the single-player experience at all. So, there may be some redeeming qualities that he missed. But skepticism and the try-before-buy strategy seem to be in order (isn't it always though?).
