Playing as Darth Vader in the beginning seems cool and it seems like it is the first time this happened in a Star Wars game. Even for a Star Wars game, this has the most ambition I seen since KOTOR. LucasArts seems determined that this will be truly special for Star Wars fans being the bridging the gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. They're even putting out action figures and Legos related to Force Unleashed which seems nuts that I would consider collecting them. In the end, it seems cool that Force Unleashed is being marketed and treated like one of the Star Wars movies with the hype, merchandising, and hopefully making Star Wars fans happy.
There was also new Soul Calibur IV footage featuring the two Star Wars characters Darth Vader and Yoda revealing new gameplay. All I can say so far regarding those two is that Yoda is already "broken" with that juggle combo he did. They showed Vader doing a Force-like throw, so at least Project Soul is keeping the characters faithful. Most of the footage was culminated in a new Star Wars stage, which is the Death Star hangar. That stage alone does not fit within the Soul Calibur universe at all, which is similar to the Halo stage in Dead or Alive 4 not fitting at all, but still a nice touch to see. That kind of made me glad Namco didn't do console exclusive stages in Soul Calibur II relating to Link, Heihachi, and Spawn, but then again it could of made sense having a Zelda stage, a Spawn stage, and a Tekken stage. I'm still excited for Soul Calibur IV (more details later this month at a Namco press event I think), but as seen in my top 10 Most Wanted list, it is not the fighting game I'm anticipating.
I randomly stumbled upon Cartoon Network and saw the Blue Dragon anime (There's an anime of this in English??). It seemed like the first episode of the series so far with the characters being barely introduced and accurate to the game. Shu seemed like he can't control his dragon shadow yet while Giro (spelling??) has his own problems with his minotaur shadow. Vola is currently playing leader training the two boys to became stronger with their shadows. The other girl (forgot her name) is still in the crossroads of the love triangle like the game. They haven't met the annoying pet thing yet, which is I think the next episode. Seems like a typical anime to me for the kids.
Other than watching another Pokemon D/P episode that is still the same feeling to me, that's it for now.
