‘You are one of Vader’s spies ?’
‘I bring Vader’s enemies to justice.’
We’ve been watching Force Unleashed trailers for almost a year now and each one looks better then the next – this latest official launch trailer is the best yet for a few reasons.
The most important reason is that this trailer shows us some real plot – which is where this game will really excel – sure the game mechanics are awesome but the plot …..NICE.
The secret apprentice will FIGHT VADER!! CHECK out the final few frames of the trailer for yourself…

Awesome show this past Friday night on GameTrailer TV on Spike. They showed a whole lot of new footage from the game…
But perhaps most importantly they showed the first time ever…two guys playing head to head in death match mode on the Wii.
No there is no Wifi ..option (yet) but it it does look sharp. This will be the first head to head star wars deathmatch kind of game since Star Wars Master of the Teras Kasi for PS1.
Check out the footage in the vid below (the really wicked stuff starts at the 3 minute mark)

Available to order now through Play.com, this third-party accessory includes a power up / down that makes the blade glow.
.i would guess that it’ll work well with Star Wars Lego…but the real test will be The Force Unleashed that doesn’t show up until 2008.
The Wii-Saber isn’t available just yet…but you won’t have too wait too long. Play.com has availability set for November 30th.

The first Star Trek game is now out for the Nintendo Wii !
Star Trek Conquest is now out letting us t ake control of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces and lead them in a campaign to control the Galaxy, one planet at a time.
You can build and manage your growing empire in turn-based strategy, fully utilizing the Wii Remote™ as you select and maneuver your Starships throughout the large, galactic map…Once battle is initiated, Conquest switches to a ship level tactical view allowing direct command of your ships as you engage in real-time combat. While maneuvering your Starship with the Nunchuk™, you can take direct aim and fire away with the Wii Remote.
Ohhh and the best part? The PRICE! This game has an MSRP of only $29.99. We should have a copy by Thnxgiving and will post a full review soon thereafter.
The trailer though looks real slick…

We’ve been playing the new Star Wars Lego the Complete Saga for the Nintendo Wii for the last three days….
YES it’s the first Star Wars game available on the Wii.
YES it is the best version EVER of Star Wars lego – as it has EVERYTHING in it and lots of little extra cut scenes too.
NO it doesn’t make proper use of the Wiimote or Nunchuck. You can use the WiiMote to slash but it’s not consistent or fluid – it’s much easier and better for gameplay just to press the B button.
It won’t be until Star Wars the Force Unleashed comes out that we’ll finally see what the Wii was made for.
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption : Not Great SciFi But Great Gaming October 13, 2007

Big bad weird looking dudes spreading seeds all over the galaxy and you’ve got to stop them. That’s the basic premise of Metroid Prime 3 Corruption.
The Corruption part is this phazon stuff that feeds both the bad guys and the hero Samus Aran ..it gives you great power but if you overload you corrupt.
Basic SciFi stuff but the gaming side is SOLID. Moving about with the Wiimote and Numchuck is awesome, slick and seemless. The Metroid 3 gaming experience really is unlike any other first person shooter ever created. It’s that much fun.
My basic issues with this are the same basic issues i generally have with all FPS console games : You can’t save on demand and there is always a BOSS that you need to eliminate to make it to the next level. Sure that’s expected but COME ON…that’s just so boring.
That said Metroid Prime 3 Corrupoint is highly recommended as a must have…but I suspect I’ll be trading mine back well before Star Wars The Force Unleashed is available – though Samus is cool and all – Vader’s Secret apprentice is going to be a whole lot cooler. Though Samus has some neat weapons…Samus doesn’t have a lightsaber either.
Show Me SciFi
