Force Unleashed demo now on Xbox 360’s Live

Gamers have been looking for information on the Star Wars Force Unleashed demo all week and we can now confirm that it’s available for download on Xbox 360’s Live.

Some people believed that the Force Unleashed demo was not going to be released this Thursday; this is what one gamer said to PR “the Demo will not be releasing this Thursday. A LucasArts PR person said this earlier today in the forums on the site”.

While we were not sure why that rumor was released, it has certainly turned out to be false. This new Star Wars game will be a massive hit thanks to the light saber-wielding action, and some gamers cannot wait to become the secret apprentice of Darth Vader in a TIE Fighter Construction Facility mission.

On the Xbox Live Marketplace you will find these details: Size of file 904.62 MB, availability in all Xbox LIVE regions and the price is free. So what you waiting for? Go get the Force Unleashed Demo and let us know what you think.

Star Wars TIE Fighter webcam

How about this for a webcam then.
This TIE Fighter webcam from Wesco Limited looks unusual compared to standard webcams, but is ideal for all those Star Wars enthusiasts.

This gadget may look a little silly on top of your laptop or monitor, but would be great for those of you who like to keep in touch with fellow Star Wars fans.

It has a built-in microphone, which is an added bonus. That means audio and video from one unit. It also has two Led’s on the front located just under the cam that may help the webcams performance in low lighting, and even plays sound effects from the Star Wars movies.

I’m not a Star Wars fan myself, but I thought that this gadget really does have a fun factor to it.
Rumoured to be available for about $40

Star Wars : The Force Unleashed demo coming this week

Over at talkplaystation.com, it has been confirmed that a demo for the next Star Wars game: The Force Unleashed will be released on the 14th of August on the PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace.
This is great news for all you fans out there as it will give you a chance to get to grips with a level from the game just before its retail release in September.

The game will put you in the role as Darth Vader’s ‘secret apprentice’ and you get to explore various aspects of the Star Wars universe from the periods between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

Peter Hirschmann, Vice-President of Product Development at LucasArts added, “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is one of the most ambitious projects LucasArts has ever launched. The combination of a great new Star Wars story with revolutionary new technology and game play means more fun than you’ve ever had in the Star Wars universe.”

Bring on this week’s store update then, my favourite game from the franchise was Jedi Power Battles way back on the PS1, I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out to be. The game will hit retail stores on September 16th in the United States, Sept 17th in Asia and Australia and ‘finally’, Sept 19th in Europe. (We knew that was coming).

Character news for Soul Calibur 4 on Sony PS3 and Xbox 360

For fans of Star Wars you will be getting exited with the upcoming release of Soul Calibur 4, as Darth Vader and Yoda will be coming to the game.

Back in April we showed you some footage from the game, but there was a downside to this. We first learned that Yoda will only be available for the Xbox 360 and Darth Vader will be on the Sony PS3.

We might have a bit of exiting news for game fans, as it looks as though both characters will be available for both consoles. So the prospect of pitting the Jedi Master against the Sith Lord on Soul Calibur IV might be possible after all.

According to GamersReports, they have managed to get hold of some scans of the game as well as a video. When they viewed the video, they were able to depict Vader and Yoda on the same consol, sadly there is no proof of this as they have been taken down.

GamersReports do claim that they have been told that both Vader and Yoda will be available on both the PS3 and Xbox 360, as an add-on download for Soul Calibur IV. As yet Namco have not officially announced this.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo coming in August for PS3

If are a Star Wars fan like me then you will be waiting for the launch of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Sony PS3. We have some great news for you, as the game demo will be coming to the PlayStation Network in August.

The demo has been confirmed by LucasArts Marketing Manager, Matt Shell.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo will feature a special version of the Tie Fighter Construction Facility level, which is one part of the game that I have been looking forward too.

PS3 Daily has said that the demo features include the special powers and special ending; this will only be featured in the demo and not in the full game.

To learn more about the demo of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the PS3, check out the video below.

World Exclusive Video Trailer of Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels: Is this for you?

The video below is pretty nice when you watch it and that is all thanks to the power of Wiimote, the announcement of Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels may be exciting to some but to some not the case but the fact that it is a immersive Wiimote-as-lightsaber game surely this puts a little fun into the game.

Personally this game is not on my top ten list, I have the Wii, the 360 and the PS3 and always by titles and this Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is not one I will be buying; it is not what I call a fantastic game. Ok it seems fun but seems a lot of hard work for me. Many of you will hate the fact George Lucas is not doing it, this would not make a good movie not alone a good game, ok yes a lightsaber game for Wii is a good idea but come on we need something that actually looks a little bit like Star Wars. I love Star Wars to bits and I mean I really love it, but for some reason this game does not get my juices flowing.

I would love to know what you think about Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, please watch the world exclusive video trailer below and then let me know what you think.

Is this game for you?

The game will be called “Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Lightsaber Duels” and as the name describes, it will include some Lightsaber Dueling with the interactivity of the Wii. Some gamers would have bought a Nintendo Wii just for this upcoming Star Wars game and the intuitive Wii-remote motion controls that will immerse you in the Star Wars universe.

These two games are said to be one of the most exciting Star Wars adventures yet and project lead for LucasArts Singapore, Feargus Carroll said “Working on The Clone Wars chapter of the Star Wars Saga has been an exciting endeavor for everyone here at LucasArts”.

Forget Star Wars R2D2 Projector, now R3-D2 with Apple iPod support

Many gadget buyers have heard of the Star Wars “R2D2 Projector”, but as technology keeps moving it looks like this device has been upgraded to the R3-D2 with Apple iPod support. The new limited Edition model features the ability to connect many move devices including iPod’s, game consoles, USB drives, flash memory cards and many other devices with video content on them.

The Star Wars movies have lasted decades and there is still no end in sight to fans continuing to follow Star Wars, so it looks like we will see many other gadgets in this theme and the R2-D2 Projector will continue to be popular. We saw the previous model at a gadget event last year and it did look impressive, but the limited edition model has so much more. Other improvements include the ability to project a screen up to 260 inches wide, an amazing 1800:1 contrast ratio, 1800 lumens brightness and built-in virtual surround sound.

Star Wars gadgets like this do not come cheap and you can expect to pay around €2,799.00 at Exclusive StarWars (hit the read link below this post), even if you have the money, its limited to just 4000 units and only available in Europe. One other feature I will mention is that the R3-D2 is motorized; you can tilt it to the ceiling to watch movies while lying down or in bed.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed Gameplay from Lucasarts

The story in most Star Wars games will always be good if you’re a fan and The Force Unleashed will be no different, below we have a gameplay video and while the gameplay looks weak…I still want to play it.

Lucasarts have made the Lightsaber look weak by not adding much gore; lightsabers-chopping limbs off is a lot more realistic but also makes the age for the game increase. Watch The Force Unleashed gameplay video below and tell us what you think.
