  Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Review.

  Star Wars: The Force Unleashed from the damned Lucas Arts game studio attempts to capture the imagination with the most dynamic force system seen in a Star Wars title, coupled with an engaging story. The game begins with the player controlling Darth Vader as he wreaks havoc on Kashyyyk, taking full advantage of the euphoria physics implemented in this game. From here on, gamers experience the universe through the eyes of Starkiller, a previously unrevealed apprentice of Darth Vader. Starkiller's tasks consist of hunting down the remaining Jedi in the Universe and subsequently eliminating them. Furthermore, as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, the player will be tasked with leaving no survivors on the ensuing missions, allowing the player to enjoy annihilate militia and Stormtroopers.

  The succeeding story is one that can be appreciated by gamers and Star Wars fans alike. The plot is a cut above the three contemporary Star Wars movies and the recent cartoon release. Epic tale aside, the game possesses a host of issues, ranging from an unwieldy force targeting system to a dumb A.I. The force targeting system can be tiresome because Starkiller often doesn't pick-up what the player intended, this is due to the targeting being based upon the direction Starkiller is facing in the game, as opposed to where the camera is pointed. This takes some getting used to, and can often cause the player to harm himself unintentionally, particularly in tight enclosures. The boss battles can also be on the wearisome side, prevailing against bosses proves to be irritating as the player may feel that they cheated to obtain victory; and the button combo executions prove to be anti-climatic.

  For the most part, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed can have its better moments, whether your listening to a stormtrooper beg for mercy or pulling a star destroyer out of the sky. The game certainly delivers on what Star Wars fans want, with the empowering use of the force and a story that will surely be considered among the greatest Star Wars tales of all time.

  Another broken Xbox 360

  Well, I suppose it was bound to happen, but I incorrectly assumed I had escaped the curse when my latest Xbox 360 had lasted more than a year...a undertaking to be sure. This box had lasted through two moves across the nation and a temporary red ringing. Then today, whilst relaxing to the Too Human demo I saw my screen had color distortion. This went on for a few hours of gameplay, resulting in an eventual red quadrant and an error message at startup. This is truly unfortunate, but at least the incident happened before one of my trips.
