Yahtzee's right, everybody in SA has *some* sort of bone to pick with Michael Atkitson, attorney-general

Perhaps, but as soon as I saw the Wiimote I thought 'Lightsabre Duels'. It was the one thing the Wii was asking for.Ivoryagent post=9.73484.798406 said:
I found in very amusing, this ZP, although I've not played 'Force Unleashed' and didn't plan to at all (lets be honest, you could tell from the demo video's it wasn't going to light the world on fire, nor even warm it a fraction)
Anyway... my predictions for bad upcoming games:
Duke Nuke'm forever (assuming it really is coming out in less than month and isn't just to tortment fans)
C&C Red Alert 3 (although it saddens me to say so)
That Space Marines one (no, not Dawn of War 2, the FPS one)
Halo Wars (probably)

I cracked up at the windmill analogy, and I also laugh at that George Lucas picture because it makes him look like a gerbil or something.
Maybe that's why there were CG gophers in Indy 4.

It sucked on the PS3 and 360 too. Not for crappy controls, but because it had brilliantly shitty gameplay elements like pulling that fucking Star Destroyer out of the sky. So retarded. It was also buggy as hell, with people falling through the floor often, and the general storyline being pretty much awful for the exact reasons Yahtzee states.
The PSP version is probably the least horrifying of the lot of them, and even that isn't saying much. When are they going to make another Republic Commando game?

Not that special, the whole "Star Wars prequels and George Lucas suck so I'll just make as many jokes as possible about that" routine is getting old. One per episode at the most Yahtzee, maybe you could've got away with two for this one considering the subject matter.
LOL Midoclorions. I don't know what that word means but I laughed anyway. This was the best review yet.
Well, I already understood that this Star Wars game wasn't going to be anything good, at least not anything good that warrants its price tag, so I could care less what review it gets. But come on, lay off the Wii. It has its good games. Sure, most people are probably done with those games already but there are also WiiWare games that can tide you over until the next big thing.
It's easy to be picky about the selection of quality games when you're able to get more than one game a month. I'm lucky to get three or four games in one year.
As for the controller... the use of it is so limited because the objects on screen don't necessarily follow your movements exactly. But some games make good use of this limitation. I thought the best part about Mario Kart Wii was the stunts you can pull off with just a shake of the remote. It's simple but very effective.

Ahhh... Nice to see this old bastard back on his game for the first time in a while (at least in my opinion, which obviously doesn't mean much ^-^). Personally, I've found a great deal of the Star Wars videogames to be clones of each other *coughcough*, and the movies to be sad attempts to recreate the glory of what once was... back in 1977. Although I must grudgingly admit that I have a liking for the Knights of the Old Republic, if only because HK-47 is one of the best androids that I have come to know and love- with Marvin coming in to tie for first place- and that some of the random little breakout fits between tagalong NPCs (ie- those mostly useless eyesores that were your 'teammates') were comical 
(besides that, in the first game at least you could kill most everything by whacking at or blasting it long enough, making some of the otherwise sweet powers such as "Shock" and "Choke" mute and somewhat useless... though they kinda were to begin with ~.~)
