Sure, Darth Vader has been a playable character in games prior to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Let's not forget that PS3 owners will have the chance to control him even before TheForce Unleashed is released, by picking up Soul Calibur IV this Summer.
But, when was the last time you got to massacre Wookiees with the Sith Lord himself by using his plethora of Force powers? Though it may only be for the first level of the game, you'll be able to do just that come this September.
Every new screen, trailer, and bitof info surrounding The Force Unleashed has me salivating over the game. I'm already sold on the concept, so please, LucasArts, keep the content coming!
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Actulally they had a video on IGN of Vader force choking and throwing the shit outta a wookie about a month ago maybe more sooooo this may be the first non beta game shot in that technical kinda way but I have seen it before.
I can't wait 'til George Lucas goes back in 20 years and rerereleases the Star Wars movies and fits in a little scene/cameo appearance of this secret apprentice into Episode III.
Good idea Sith masterminds, put your all-star in a situation where two dozen dumbass sacraficial cronies can do the job. It's like having David Ortiz take on the Columbus-Thompson Community College baseball team.
To bad it's just the first level. The game still looks awesome. I'm think I might get the Wii version if the controls are just right and the gameplay doesn't suffer a lot from the downgrade.
That's why Microsoft is getting into remote production! Their prototype senses that there's an enemy in front of you, and will shoot magnetized forcefields at you to replicate resistance in a saber battle. Known side effects are nausea, sperm loss, 360mote-itis, and casual games.
Even though I've known about this bit of info long ago, and despite Geoff's constant attempts at claiming exclusivity on all information game-related, I did find the gameplay video of Darth Vader's powers in action AWESOME...

You heard it here first. It'll happen.
Must choke wookies.
Otherwise, looks not bad-ish.
But there's still that one small ray of hope that a lightsaber game will be as good as the one everyone dreams of. But yeah I doubt it's this one

who said anything about choking YOUR wookie?
Okay sorry, that's just cruel. I'd rather choke a Jawa. :D
DO WANT?
Yes.
How does one couch?
