I finally beat: Star Wars – The Force Unleashed

Actually, I finally posted on beating Star Wars – The Force Unleashed.  I actually beat it a couple of days ago, which was a couple days after it’s release.  I beat the whole thing in about 3 sittings/days.  Not a long game at what was probably about 8 hours, but not too short either.  I felt compelled to play through quickly to experience the story.  This is a game that deserves the compliment sandwich.  It has so many absolutely great things going for it that are counteracted by awful, horrible Dark Sides.

I downloaded and beat The Force Unleashed demo last night, and a couple more times today.  The game is quite fun, though certainly suffers from some problems.  Despite the issues, the game demo is incredibly fun and I can see why the Penny-arcade guys would play it through 7 times.  The first time is throw away.  You are learning the controls and environment.  After that, you begin to learn enemy timing, dodge moves, when to attack and when to be defensive.  Your badassness begins to show through.

**The game is challenging while making you look unstoppable.**

Let’s hope it continues throughout like that.  There are a few other points to cover…

Homeworld 2 Mod makes Jump to Lightspeed

This will be amazing. I’ve seen this HW2 mod in action, and having it brought into a realtime 4x environment should be something to be excited for.

Dubbed “Warlords” (worst descriptive name ever?), this mod turned Homeworld 2 into a star wars fleet command game. It features dozens and dozens of canon ships from the movies, books, and comics. Each were intricately detailed, scaled, and with accurate weapons fire and soundfx.

If he brings just the models over to Sins for an upgrade for fleet commands and skirmishes, it’ll be quite nice. If he gets the 4x part introduced, recreating the galactic conflict on a multi-system scale…well,… that’ll just be damn impressive.

Perhaps a even a system seller. It is hard to build deserved hype for mods. So many go on to unfulfilled promises. Others don’t go on at all, and are never released in a stable, easy to install state. But some go on to be the best games ever released (see: Team Fortress, Counter Strike, Tower Defense (Warcraft3)). I’m sure there are others I’m missing that are considered classics of gaming. This guy has already released his first mod for HW2, so he’s done it before. Here’s hoping he doesn’t have school/a kid/job/life get in the way of destroying our free time.

Good Luck, Warlords guy (EvilleJedi?).
