The Force Unleashed II Is Looking Even More Unleashed, If That’s Possible
Speaking of Star Wars, Kotaku has a new trailer for The Force Unleashed II game, due out on October 26th. It just now dawned on me that I’m genuinely interested in what the fuck is going on with Starkiller, the first time I’ve been actively engaged by a Star Wars tie-in in quite some time. Of course, I’m also genuinely interested in throwing two lightsabers at my enemies like two giant frisbees of death, redirecting several dozen missiles back at the vehicle that fired it, and crumbling up a TIE fighter into a little metal ball while it’s in mid-flight. Long story short, I’m genuinely interested in this game.
