I outline the major game releases for today, all intended for you to spend your money.

Last summer, LucasArts graced gamers and Star Wars fans with The Force Unleashed, an official canon addition to the famous sci-fi saga. The storyline was set between the 3rd and 4th episodes, connecting the two film trilogies together.

Star Wars has never been a stranger to gaming and as a result, have maintained a presence in video games throughout the industry lifespan. More interestingly, they have appeared in a multitude of games even without the ‘Star Wars’ in the title.

The demo for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is now available on Xbox Live, Major Nelson reminds us.

It’s free, so there is no excuse to not demo a game that looks this cool.

Lucas Arts is releasing the demo version of upcoming Jedi epic “The
Force Unleashed” this Thursday on PSN and Xbox 360 simultaneously. Get
ready for some serious force action as it takes place inside a “Tie
Fighter Construction Facility” meaning we might get to throw a ship at
someone like we’ve seen in the trailers.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels has been created specifically for the Wii because of its controller being able to be used sorta like a light saber in the hands of the player. However, Nintendo apparently did not inform third party developers ahead of time about the Wii Motion Plus, which “allows for more comprehensive tracking
of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement
players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. ” So, Lucas Arts developed and all but finished the Lightsaber Duels game for the Wii without knowing about the Wii motion plus. Adding insult to injury, Nintendo announced the Wii motion plus at E3 where the new Star Wars game was also played up in the Nintendo press conference.
