MASSIVE video of The Force Unleashed - all 3 platforms
The dudes over at GameSpot have posted an absolutely massive (133 minutes to be exact!) video of their privileged selves playing through multiple levels of the upcoming The Force Unleashed on all three consoles. As you might guess, a video that long is obviously full of spoilers (plus the GameSpot guys don’t really hold back in their conversation either). So if you think having plot points revealed to you before you actually get your hands on the game might cause you to get upset and damage a pet or some rather expensive electronics, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Even in that case, though, you can still selectively flip through the video to see some of the gameplay, which admittedly looks pretty darn awesome. Even the Wii version, which has considerably fewer graphical bells and whistles seems to look rather attractive. Because of the motion sensitive controls it seems like that version is a little more difficult to play (e.g. you have to make actual motions a la Twilight Princess to control your lightsaber vs. simply pounding a button), but presumably that means that it feels a little more realistic as well (hopefully in a good way). In either case, check out the video, its pretty sweet, and should certainly take your appetite from “wet” to “drool” in anticipation of the September 16th release.

I was already at the drool stage, and in the spoiler category, I’m holding out for the game. I haven’t even downloaded the demo because I want to go into it totally fresh. It’s bad enough that Wired and other sources have already ruined what is presumably one of the game’s later plot points. I bought the novelization already, but have it sitting on my shelf - this is one instance where I’ll read the book second, mostly because I’m interested to see the multiple endings that LucasArts has promised, and then read the “true” canon version of the story.

I am lucky enough to have really bad memory - the one spoiler I did hear I have now completely forgotten
But in case my bad memory did fail me I selectively skipped through much of the dangerous conversation and just took in some juice snippets of the gameplay 
Which I will probably happily forget by the time I actually get the game
