First of all, a "warning": Many computer RPG worlds have way more background info available than the casual observer might hope for at first or second sight. Google is your friend, as usual, in this, if not your BFF. Search for game-world specific names (locations, NPCs, creature and equipment names) and look for wiki-like sites among the hits. (Wikia, for example, has comprehensive info on tons of video-games, and not just RPGs: see its comprehensive Half Life section, for example.)

Addendum

Get a feel of how canonical your players want the setting, how true they want to stay to what they've seen in there, and try and reach a general consensus. Check whether they want to play after the events of the game, or before its timeline begins ("we're twenty years before Obi Wan finds Anakin on Tatooine"), or synchronously with it - and, in the latter case, whether they want to "witness" or "replay/overwrite" the events of the game. (Do they want to be smugglers who are friends of Han Solo, or do they want to have a chance to run an "alternate universe" take on the world, and start from the very same situation as Luke, Leia, Han and Co., but act perhaps rather differently under different names... and tell the story of the fall of Luna Moonfinder, the lost daughter of Darth Vader, who realizes that she's strong in the Force but joins her father on the Cloud City.)
