The very talented animation team at Blur Studio have produced two more cinematic trailers for upcoming Star Wars title Force Unleashed II. They're very pretty. More »

The story propelling Lucasart's Force Unleashed is one of apprenticeship, Imperial cleavage, good and evil. It could have been about a Wookiee superhero, which would have been awesome, but no, George Lucas nixed that idea. More »

Sure, it wasn't the greatest of Star Wars games, but The Force Unleashed didn't suck. Which in terms of recent Star Wars releases, made it special. So special it's sold a ton. More »

Remember the PC Gaming Alliance? Yeah, formed back at the Game Developers Convention, it has representation from pretty much all of the big hardware brands in PC gaming, plus publishers Activision and Epic. And its president, Intel's Randy Stude, just went off on LucasArts for not creating a PC version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. More »

Many didn't like The Clone Wars and maybe you don't like it either. Actor Sam Witwer, who did the motion capture and voice work for Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice in The Force Unleashed, has a viable theory why: More »

Once was a day where if you saw the words "Lucasarts" and "Star Wars" on a game box, it'd be an instant purchase. X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Super Star Wars, Dark Forces, Jedi Knight...all solid gold. But then something happened. They started putting out more Star Wars games. And they started to stink up the joint. Sure, a cynic might say that's because, as the dash for Star Wars cash intensified, quality control standards slipped, but Lucasarts have a different answer. They say that because it's "such a great licence", it's "really easy to get excited about that and not set the bar high enough." Whatever lets you sleep at night, guys. That quote's part of an interview with Force Unleashed's Cameron Suey, who swears that FU won't suffer the same fate, but then, that's something we've heard more than once from Lucasarts before.

Well, PC gamers, it looks like piracy isn't the only reason developers are cutting back on the number of games they create for the platform. It's also your expensive, cutting-edge rigs! In trying to explain why Lucasart's upcoming Force Unleashed wouldn't be gracing the company's former home platform, producer Cameron Suey has said: More »

]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=386913&view=rss&microfeed=true The above clip features not only the announcement that Darth Vader will be playable in the opening level of Lucasart's Force Unleashed, but also word that via the powers of the force you'll be able to pick a wookie up off the ground and wring his garbling, furry neck. Which should be the clip's highlight, but no! That honour goes to Force Unleashed's project lead, Hayden Blackman, who manages to keep the PR team happy by saying that your force powers are "amped up, over the top and in some cases totally out of control" while somehow keeping a straight face. Well done, Hayden. More »

No escaping it. It was Star Wars-related, it's a videogame, so it was always going to get some Lego. This is the Rogue Shadow, and is the ship of one the game's stars, Imperial pilot Juno Eclipse. The set also includes three figures: Juno, a battle-damaged Darth Vader (who looks fantastic) and Vader's secret, probably evil apprentice. The Rogue Shadow, which is retailing for $49.99, should be rolling out to toy stores as you read this. More »

I was pretty bummed out to discover that LucasArts was showing nothing new at Comic Con, as I'd heard a rumor that Force Unleashed was going to make a playable appearance. Sure, I still plan on going back to the booth and playing what is on hand—entirely E3 repeats—but I was most impressed with Lucasarts' display of (what appears to be) every single LucasArts game in the universe. And they're all *mint*. More »

Just received an email from LucasArts, announcing a very special preview of the latest chapter in the Star Wars saga, The Forced Unleashed. Turns out there will be a special preview tomorrow night, though it won't be going on here at E3, but rather on Entertainment Tonight? More »

A tipster sends word on some Lucas Arts announcements they say will be hitting during E3. First, the tipster says that a trailer for Force Unleashed will be released on Thursday about halfway through E3. The trailer will also be showing up on Entertainment Tonight, the tipster goes on to say. More »

While diligently scouring the internet for video game news and certainly not trying to find out what the latest Transformers toys look like, I stumbled upon a gallery of action figures based on the recently announced Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed. Taken at Toy Fair 2007 earlier this week and posted at the Jedi Insider website, the pics could give us a little insight into what to expect from the story. Take the girl at the right there. Trashy slut Jedi who has been in the raspberry jelly again. Oh that Trashy. What won't she do? Other highlights include Grand Moff Hottie, Another Damn Stormtrooper, and Slapstick Vader with Fall-Apart armor action. Completely making the names up, of course, but imagination is fun.

The vid starts off with some Indiana Jones character reaction goodness as well. More »

Yeah, so remember earlier today when I said we didn't have any further info on the next-gen Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed? Just got an email from LucasArts announcing the launch of the official website for the official game that has Star Wars fans getting really ticked off in the comments section of major gaming blogs.

The next issue of Game Informer, hitting stores now but yet to hit my mailbox despite spending $15 on GameStop's stupid discount card, reveals details on LucasArt's next generation Star Wars title for the PS3 and Xbox 360. More »
