Tonight at the Spike Video Game Awards, the worldwide premier trailer was shown for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2, presented by Samuel L. Jackson. The trailer showed Starkiller wielding two blue lightsabers facing off against a giant beast in a sort of stadium with voice over from Yoda and Darth Vader. The trailer will be released to the web on December 14th, when you can expect to see it here on the site. The first Force Unleashed received very mixed reviews. What are your thoughts on a sequel?

I would consider $2.50 “nearly free”, as that is the price that Steam is offering Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for for the next 19 hours from the time of this posting. If for some inexplainable reason you have never played this masterpiece, you now have no excuse not to buy it. Hell, I already own the CD version and I’m thinking about picking it up just for the convenience of Steam.
