The Exploding Barrel's Mark Fujii got his hands on an early copy of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Check out his full review.
Quote:
"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has a lot to live up to. The hype generated by the early tech demos and then its impressive trailers has been enormous. But hype is a double edged sword. While it serves the purpose of exciting fans into anticipating its release, it also considerably raises the expectations set for the game. But does Lucas Art's latest Star Wars title justify the hype, or is this another title doomed to disappoint its fans?"
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
They could have borrowed its control from Psi-Ops, and the game would have ranked in 9s or something.
The enemies were not good either ino. They had lots of them but weren't really smart.
a bit of a shame. The engine totally kick ass. Imagine giving someone like capcom the gameplay elements. This could have been the perfect game...
I'm still getting it.
But I liked the demo for Conan better than TFU
liked it so much,it's so good,I don't know why some didn't like it
the graphics are good and has a star wars feel to them
the soundtracks are amazing
the control is easy
the gameplay is well done,nice combat,a force grip system that never gets old
amazing physics
you got so many ways to beat enemies
I really loved it and gonna buy it DAY 1
don't forget the the final game will have more varied levels,more combos,more force moves,leveling system
I mean this game pwns
