The Force Unleashed II: Attack Of The Other Clones
The Force Unleashed II opens with Lord Vader informing Starkiller that he’s a failed clone. When will LucasArts stop ripping off the Spider-Man clone saga? I am being facetious, of course. No one would consciously rip off the Clone Saga. It just sounds a little similar. Spoiler alert, which is more than we got! At…

Killing Time With The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings
Despite an unstable frame rate and horrendous loading times, PC role-playing game The Witcher sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide. The Witcher 2 runs at 60 frames-per-second and has no loading times whatsoever. The Witcher was one of my favorite games of 2007. Based on a series of short stories and novels by Poland’s…

Kevin Butler, VP Of Gamer Inspiration
Even if Sony didn’t have the most amazing E3 press conference this year, it did contain the single best moment at a press conference this year. This is that moment. He might just be an actor, but he’s our actor. Technically I guess he is Sony’s actor, but I’m sure we can work out some…

Can you believe the Wii has made it four years without a Hello Kitty title? Luckily Sanrio Digital and Zoo Games are bringing Hello Kitty Seasons to the Wii this holiday. Otherwise I would have had to kick some ass. Yes, I am completely serious. How come the Nintendo DS gets all the Hello Kitty…

You Got Tekken In My Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2
It’s about time Namco Bandai worked a Tekken character into a Naruto game, as the company reveals Tekken 6’s Lars Alexandersson as an unlockable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.

And I can handle a lot. A special E3 screening of Toy Story 3 was held on Monday night, to commemorate the…

This Is The Old Republic’s Idea of Player Housing
Other massively multiplayer online games give players small houses or apartments to call their own. Star Wars: The Old Republic gives you an entire spaceship. EA’s press conference at E3 2010 wasn’t all that eventful from a Star Wars: The Old Republic point of view. They showed the newer trailer, off-handedly mentioned Alderaan as a…
