Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Demo
September 6, 2008
I downloaded the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo the other day from the Playstation Network as I’ve been quite intrigued to see this game in action. Although it’s not a huge demo, I was really impressed from what I played.
I haven’t played Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on any other platform, apparently the Wii version is awesome, but I’ve not heard anything about the XBox 360 version yet.

The Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon series is going to be starting on the Cartoon Network on Friday October 3rd 2008………in the US!
So us Brits might have to wait a little bit longer, but the way that TV shows are being aired over here soon after it’s been aired over in the US, it shouldn’t be too long before it starts over here - here’s hopefully it gets picked up by a channel with a high definition version to really appreciate the computer graphic visuals!
The Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon series will follow the events that have already occurred in the Star Wars: Clone Wars movie which was released in cinemas during the summer.

September 2, 2008
For all you Battlestar Galactica (BSG) fans out there, I’m writing this as I need some kind of Battlestar fix at the moment, so I’ve decided to write this blog post and get some ideas thrown around about who could be the 5th Cylon of the Final 5 Cylons!!
Battlestar Galactica is truly great science fiction show which gives commentary on and addresses a lot of social issues in a manner which may not be able to be approached in a more mainstream present-day setting. The enemy being the Cylons and the resulting situations are quite often a metaphor for modern-day issues, be it terrorism, war crimes, religion and belief systems. If you’ve not already, you should go and take a look at the Battlestar Galactica season 4 trailer.
WARNING - POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT BELOW!

Sony has recently announced a price and release date for ‘Play TV’.
Play TV is a digital receiver that enables you to watch Freeview through your PS3 and use it as a recorder as well. So you can watch one program and record another or record two programmes at once. All of your recordings will be saved on the PS3’s hard drive so you’ll be able to watch them back whenever you like.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (12A)
Cast: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Luke Goss, Anna Walton, John Hurt
Director: Guillermo Del Toro
Running Time: 120 minutes
Guillermo Del Toro films are always a joy to watch. He tries to use as little CGI as possible and creates some visually stunning characters. Hellboy 2 is, in my opinion, one of his best to date.
The story sees Hellboy (Perlman) sick of being in hiding and wants the world to see who he and his team are, and what they do. His relationship has ‘blossomed’ with Liz (Blair) but they’re going through the ‘bumpy’ part of the relationship which has some nice touches throughout the film.

Asus have come up with the Eee Stick which is essentially a PC Wii remote. The PC’s answer to Nintendo’s impressive Wii Remote?
Asus will be selling the Eee Stick with certain models of their Eee Pc and Eee box, as well as some of the games that have been made for use with the Eee Stick.
There’s no news yet as to whether or not the Eee stick will be sold separately to be used with other PC’s.

August 25, 2008
Nintendo are set to release a new attachment for the Wiimote called ‘Wii Motion Plus’.
The idea behind this is to improve the responsiveness of the Wiimote and make every little movement count and make it a true 1:1 experience.
All you need to do it plug the Motion Plus into the bottom of the Wiimote to give you a more realistic control over what you do on screen.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (U)
Cast: Matt Lanter, Ian Abercrombie, Anthony Daniels, Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson
Director: Dave Filoni
Running Time: 98 minutes
I always thought that The Clone Wars was going to be a bit too much for Star Wars. After the atrocities that were I, II and III, I thought Star Wars films would be no more and this was going to follow suit.
I was pleasantly surprised by The Clone Wars.

August 18, 2008
Start your engines to one of the dark horses of the Playstation 3’s release titles.
I could not believe how good and addictive this Motorstorm is. I got this with a package as I didn’t think there were any other games better looking and thought it would be ok for a couple of hours or so.
A year down the line and I still love this game. Motorstorm is off road racing at its best and now it’s back as one of the PS3 Platinum games.
I’m not really one for racing games as I find them very repetitive and get boring very quickly, but this is just pure chaos on dirt tracks and lots of exploding cars and bodies flying everywhere and I love it.

The Spore Creature Creator download is the pre-cursor to a new game that’s on the horizon from Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, this game is called ‘Spore’ - you’ll come to know that name well!
