Having played through the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo a few times, I can say it's pretty fun. Not sure I'm prepared to drop three Jacksons for it, as it doesn't look like it's going to have much replay value - maybe a rent. I guess I've just got a few issues with the entire concept of the game. First off, the name sucks - especially for ( Read more... )

I'm going to be writing reviews for www.gamevortex.com soon. Everyone's got a handle there - mine is FenixDown, but my actual name is listed, too. I ended up meeting the top staff the other day and they were really cool.

I think Soul Calibur 4 is alright - not really my kind of fighting game (I am and probably always will be partial to 2D rather than 3D fighters). The addition of Star Wars characters is just plain bizarre. The clash is almost audible when you experience it for the first time. Yoda is literally impossible to grab, for one, and his move list is ( Read more... )

So I went to Double Fine's website to see if anything had happened to the production of their next game Brutal Legend, and I found out just how crazy Tim Schafer is. All he did was post a bunch of pictures of a weevil he accidentally boiled when cooking his oatmeal, but if you mouse over the picture, a caption pops up that simply says "Brutal ( Read more... )
