According to LucasArts, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be hitting stores on September 16. The game is looking super nice. It’s currently available for pre-order on sites like Amazon.
Check out a video I found on GameTrailers showing off some of the lightsaber moves:
You’ll be playing as the apprentice of Darth Vader in this game. The first level is also supposed to have you playing as Darth Vader himself!
Below are the February NPD numbers for North American hardware. I’m still shocked that the PS2 is outselling both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

According to Xbox Live, tomorrow will be the release of a 6 song Grateful Dead set for Rock Band. I’m not sure at what cost this will be. Now you can rock to a few more classics.
Rock Band has finally been confirmed for the Wii by EA CEO John Riccitiello. No release date yet but it’s been speculated that it’ll come out later this year or early 2009.
EA Sports is getting set to release a new arcade style boxing game called “Facebreaker” sometime this year. This game is being developed by the same team who brought you the great “Fight Night Round 3″. It’s said to include real-time face deformation. This game is also expected to be on all 3 consoles, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii.
Here’s the top 10 video games of 2007 by Time. This should bring good debate:
1. Halo 3 (whoa, that’s original)
2. The Orange Box
3. Rock Band
4. Super Mario Galaxy
5. BioShock
6. Call of Duty 4
7. Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
8. Mass Effect
9. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
10. God of War 2
One of the best fighting games of all time is now available on Nintendo’s Virtual Console. Nintendo has updated its Virtual Console today with 3 more games, Eternal Champions, Dynastic Hero and ZANAC. I haven’t played the other 2 but Eternal Champions is great. What are you waiting for? Start fighting!

With RPGs still a little thin on the ground on Nintendo’s much-in-demand Wii console, adventure-gamers will be delighted to hear that Namco has revealed it is working on a new role-playing outing for the machine named Fragile.
Though little is known about the game, it has been confirmed that Eternal Sonata studio Tri-Crescendo is working on the game, which sees a boy called Set exploring cities in a post-apocalyptic future.
The Wii remote is thought to act like a torch as gamers confront the hidden nasties.
