Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 revealed, intense
Dec/090
The world’s coolest Jedi, Samuel L. Jackson (suck it, Yoda) has just taken the stage at the 2009 Video Game Awards to reveal Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. In the announcement trailer — Darth Vader’s once apprentice — codenamed “Starkiller” steps into a dark arena only to be faced with a creature hellbent on his destruction. Thankfully, Starkiller — armed with two light sabers — pounces to attack the gargantuan foe. Sadly, it was all CG, but we’ll take any new Force Unleashed we can get.

New Lego Harry Potter trailer has us rowling with laughter
Dec/090
The new trailer for Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 takes these recurring tropes and adds them to the world of Hogwarts, Muggles, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, sprinkling in iconic moments from the first four blockbuster books throughout. Without a release date for the game – and with the first half of the final Harry Potter film not hitting theaters until next November – we worry it might be awhile before we get our hands on this block-breaking version of Harry.

New Force Unleashed achievements discovered
Jul/090
We bet you thought you were done with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Well you just hold on a minute buster, it looks like LucasArts still wants to milk a few more Microsoft Points out of you before they’ve had their fill. We say that because a new batch of achievements have been discovered for the game on Xbox.com (full list at X360A).
What’s particularly interesting about these achievements is that most of them relate to characters made famous after the events that take place in Force Unleashed. There are achievements for defeating Boba Fett, Jabba’s Rancor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The interesting part about the third one is that you have to defeat Obi-Wan before and after he dies. From the sound of things, there’s some new DLC on the way that takes place during A New Hope. It also seems like it tasks players with taking up the role of Darth Vader, or perhaps it will introduce an alternate history involving his secret apprentice.
LucasArts will be at the San Diego Comic-Con next week — with plenty of announcements to make — so we probably won’t have to keep guessing for long.

Top 10 Stormtrooper Crossovers
Jun/090
Galactic Binder has collected ten of the best stormtrooper crossovers they’ve seen. Seeing so many gathered in one place suggests that costumed Stormtroopers are becoming so ubiquitous that they’ll soon attract as little attention as a plain Stormtrooper. Hell, maybe ordinary troopers will become so rare that spotting one will be like seeing a unicorn in the wild …
So, check out the gallery below, and tell us your favorite. I’ll echo Galactic Binder and give a special gold star to the samurai stormtrooper for going full circle by referencing Kurosawa.

Two new comedies out this week:
The Proposal
What’s It All About: Romantic comedy about a high power executive (Sandra Bullock) who faces deportation back to Canada. In order to stay in the States she plans to marry her assistant (Ryan Reynolds) who she has treated like dirt for years.
Why It Might Do Well: The two leads are appealing as is the supporting cast which includes Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, and Betty White.
Why It Might Not Do Well: The basic plot has been done to death in film and episodic TV and there’s no shortage of comedies this week.

Prediction: $28 million
Year One
What’s It All About: A stone age comedy directed by Harold Ramis and starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as two guys who embark upon adventures after being booted out of their village.
Why It Might Do Well: This kind of has a Life of Brian feel without the religious overtones.
Why It Might Not Do Well: Jack Black can be a real love him or hate him kind of guy.
Number of Theaters: 2,900
Prediction: $24 million
