Star Wars in the videogame realm.
LucasArts has two new games that will be released this fall. "Star Wars: The Force
Unleashed" will hit all platforms on September 16, and a pair of "Star Wars The Clone Wars"
games will come out on Nintendo platforms on November 11.
In addition, "Darth Vader," for PlayStation 3, and "Yoda," for Xbox 360, are exclusive playable
characters in Namco Bandai's recent release, Soul Calibur IV.
Sony Online Entertainment's partnership with LucasArts in the multiplayer online role-playing
game, "Star Wars: Galaxies," also continues to keep hundreds of thousands of gamers
happy.
"'Star Wars' is and will always be a core part of our DNA at LucasArts," said Kevin Kurtz, the
company's director of marketing.
"George Lucas created such a deep universe ripe with possibilities that it will continue to be
a source for incredible stories and gameplay for years to come," he added.
Since the first film was shown on the big screen over 30 years ago, "Star Wars" fans have
dreamed of the day that gaming could replicate those lightsaber battles between good and
evil. Thanks to Nintendo's revolutionary Wii, that day has come with "Star Wars The Clone
Wars: Lightsaber Duel." [read more]
